  1. Interesting that you should bring that up. Originally, the comic book "The Brave and the Bold" ("B&B") introduced new characters to the DC lineup, as did "Showcase." Starting with #50, it became a team-up book. (This doesn't count the introduction of teams like the Suicide Squad and the Justice League.) Starting with #74, and through the rest of its run (to #200), all the team-ups featured Batman as one hero. For a time, the last panel of an issue gave a clue to the identity of the next issue's partner. Incidentally, the comic book "World's Finest" changed its format from being a Batman-Superman team-up to a Superman-whoever team-up book, which also, if I recall correctly, had a clue at the end of each nook as to the team-up character in the next. The recent "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" cartoon featured Batman with other heroes, each week; but that is not the show I have in mind. (The last episode, entitled "Jumping the Shark," was a real hoot!) This cartoon came even before "Super-Friends." George
  2. Scooby and Shaggy were not the two. Love your thought process, though! :) George
  3. I guess I'll go. This cartoon show featured two main heroes. It also had a guest hero each week, and a mystery clue for you to guess who next week's guest star would be. This is probably too easy (at least for hiway and WW); but, we'll see. George
  4. FYI, I still haven't gotten Barker's EARLIER show, which is the subject of this. Could it be "Queen for a Day"? George
  5. When the film was first screened for major Warner Bros. executives, almost no one in the audience laughed and the movie looked to be a disaster that the studio would not release. But the producer quickly set up a subsequent screening for the WB studio's employees. When these regular folks laughed uproariously throughout the movie, Warner Bros. finally agreed to take a chance on releasing it. One day in the Warner Bros. studio commissary, the writers were seated at a table opposite John Wayne ("the Duke"). The Duke turned and said he had heard about their Western, the one where people say stuff like "blow it out your a-s-s". The producer handed the Duke a copy of the script and said, "Yes, and we'd like you to be in it." According to the producer, the Duke turned down the offer the next day by saying, "Naw, I can't do a movie like that, but I'll be first in line to see it!" George
  6. Bob Barker is into animals. And "The Price is Right" is probably the current show. I don't remember what Barker did before that. George
  7. The paint can makes me think "Saturday Night Fever" George PS The earliest movie I can REMEMBER Fran Drescher in was "Hollywood Knights."
  8. I have seen it. Sean Young Blade Runner Harrison Ford George
  9. Since this show was rather short-lived, I'll be more specific. It was based on one of the female "Cheers" cast, though she didn't actually appear in the spin-off. George
  10. "I always tell the truth. Even when I lie." "The only thing in this world that gives orders... is balls." George
  11. Maybe in the next life. Or some excellent "Forrest Gumping." You're up. George
  12. Interesting. I don't remember Dick Clark on "Where the Action Is," at all. I only remember it for Paul Revere and the Raiders. Anyway, Everyone knows that "Frasier" spun off from "Cheers." What other, not NEARLY so successful show was also a spin-off from "Cheers"? George
  13. There were a lot of shows in the 60's with music and dancing. As I recall, "Hullaballoo" was at night, and "Where the Action Is" was on Saturday, so I'll try "Shindig"? George
  14. A wheelchair-bound Vietnam veteran fends off thugs breaking into his house at Christmastime. George
  15. I'm sure I've seen it, too. The fighters routine is VERY familiar. I just can't place it. George
  16. Or maybe "Name that Flick" :) Life is like a box of chocolates. George
