  1. Correct. She played a female Terminator. One of my favorite lines had Sarah Connor, John Connor, and Cameron (Glau) jumping into a truck to head off on a mission. John: "I call shotgun!" Cameron: "I call 9 millimeter!" Glau is a fine actress (and easy on the eyes). I'm not sure why she's never been in a show that lasted. George
  2. Glau has been in a number of short-run series. (I was always afraid she'd get Arrow canned, just by appearing in a few episodes.) Clearly, this one wasn't "Firefly," as the second clue indicates it came after the movie :"Serenity." As far as I know, this is the only of her series based on a movie franchise. George
  3. This show is part of a franchise that includes several movies. In fact, one might say that it takes place after the 2nd movie and effectively "retcons" the third. The show went only two seasons. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Summer Glau, who has appeared in MANY short run series. Fans tried to get it revived for three years after its cancellation. Glau got her part in the show, incidentally, because of her demonstration of fighting skills in the movie "Serenity." FOX President Kevin Reilly canceled the show due to the show not doing well in the ratings as it was moved to Friday Nights and didn't do well in its new time slot. (No surprise. Friday night is where Sci-Fi shows go to die.) Fans accused the star of the movies of killing the show because he wanted to make more movies in the series. The star wasn't involved with the show and the next movie didn't come out until 6 years after the show had ended. George
  4. It wasn't the movie I was thinking of, but I'll have to give it to you. The song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was written by Art Garfunkel and sung by the malefactors crucified with "Brian" in Monty Python's Life of Brian (the movie I was thinking of). It was also, however, sung by Jack Nicholson in As Good as It Gets. Same line, same song, it's a winner. George
  5. The Producers (Mostel/Wilder version) "Always look on the bright side of life." (Not tremendously famous, but should be familiar to this crew.) George
  6. Interesting guess, but no. I'll give a couple more clues soon. George
  7. And that would be the correct one. The director of one of the community bands I play in mentioned this about Ellington. What was your second choice? George
  8. Blake Shelton had a song called "Honey Bee." (It's on my girlfriend's playlist.) Is that it? If so, a couple of things: I may be the only player here familiar with country songs, so that pretty much eliminates them as "songs remembered from one line." I tried "The Chair" in "Name That Tune" and got crickets. Ideally, the song is memorable from the first line. If the title is in the first line, however, it's perfectly permissible to use another line in the song. In other words, if this song IS "Honey Bee," those words shouldn't be in the clue. As Human pointed out, etiquette on all the game threads requires one to correctly guess another's clue before positing one, oneself. (Unless the previous poster declares a FREE POST, effectively giving up his turn to anyone who wants it.) Also, googling is not allowed to find an answer, though you can ask friends and family to help. These games are memory tests, not tests of search engine skills. It IS acceptable for the one giving a clue to google, in order to ensure that the clue is accurate. (An exception is in "Triple Movie Links," where one may google after three days, to keep the game moving. Do not let the preceding paragraph deter you. We ALWAYS welcome new players to the games. I hope you stick around (and try some of our other offerings)! George
  9. A number of ex-pro football players were in The Longest Yard, but Karras wasn't one of them. Back to the drawing board. George

  11. "Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories. We've already missed the Spring." "This is probably my last chance." "Mine too." "Oh, it's nobody's fault but my own! I was looking up... it was the nearest thing to heaven! You were there..." "I thought everything was fine until I saw you last night. Then I knew there must be something between us, even if it's only an ocean." "Oh darling. Don't - don't worry darling. If - if you can paint, I can walk. Anything can happen, don't you think?" "Yes, darling. Yes, yes, yes." "I'm getting married and I want you to be the first to congratulate me." "Marriage is something to rush to?" George
  12. Robert Klein Nobody's Perfekt Alex Karras George
  13. Superman and Lois will end after a ten-episode season in 2024. Hopefully, something will take its place, or a run of DC super-hero shows starting with Smallville in 2001 will come to an end. (Yes, I remember Lois and Clark, but it ended several years before Smallville.) George

  15. Monty Python and the Holy Grail (I could get it from at least half of the lines in the movie.) "Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!" George
  16. Creeque Alley. Let's try another: "[TITLE], The Earth says, "Hello" You twinkle above us; we twinkle below." George
  17. A good guess. I think Berlin may have had over a thousand compositions, but I believe the one I'm thinking of had over 1600. He was primarily known for his jazz works, but had many spiritual and other popular works, as well. George
  18. None of those. Most of the actors in HTTM aren't well-known, but a few of them are. George
  19. No. I'm surprised WW or Raf hasn't chimed in. (Or Redrock or Nathan, for that matter.) "Scene" isn't in the title, but "Alley" is. George
  20. I doubt Williams has 100 songs to his credit. This was a 20th-century musician, most famous for a particular genre but who wrote hundreds of other pieces. George
