Summer Glau has appeared in five sci-fi/fantasy shows. None of them survived two full seasons with her in the cast. (Most didn't make one.) Can you name them? George PS. She now has a recurring role in "Arrow," which does not bode well for the show.

The movie aired in 1966. George

I suspect you're a bit older than I am. Also, at that age, I wasn't the one determining what would be watched. Finally, you said yourself that the show didn't last, because it was on opposite Ed Sullivan (which I DID watch). A lot of older shows were rerun in syndication, and that may have made them better known. As we've seen from this thread, a stellar cast does not a well-known TV show make. One would think that a prime time series starring Buck Henry and Teri Garr, with frequent guests Steve Martin, Jeff Goldblum, Al Franken, and John Candy would be well-known. It wasn't. :) There's nothing wrong with trying an old show you liked. I don't mind a challenge. George

I think that as a general rule of thumb, here, the older a show is, the more well-known it should be. In other words, recent and obscure is fine, but old and obscure, probably not. George

I hadn't noticed, but you're right, he hasn't been on screen since that movie. Of course, he was 73 at the time, so retiring might have had nothing to do with the movie. WordWolf is up. George

Chuck Connors was "The Rifleman" and "Branded." I'm thinking David Janssen running for his life as "The Fugitive." I can't think of a show starring both. (The "first half, second half" part sounds like the way more current shows ("Law and Order") are patterned; but, again, it rings no OLD bells...) George

The movie starred almost all of the TV show cast, with one significant replacement. George

That's the one. Patton defeats Rommel's Afrika Korps, partially because he had read Rommel's book on tank warfare. You're up! George

David Carradine Lone Wolf McQuade Chuck Norris George

I've done this movie before, but I think I used another quote. It is not "Inglorius Basterds." It is a much older film. George

I thought that the first part was "I Am Legend," but not if it has Bill Murray in it. George

"Rommel... you magnificent bastard, I read your book!" George

Well, then, since the phrase "the grass grows THIS high" is nothing the characters would even approximate saying, I have even less to go on. George

Obviously, some American idiom doesn't translate well into German. I just can't think of one which would be similar to grass growing high. George

Corps Week? Either that, or "Network." :)/> George

Your subconscious was correct. George

"Boy. They told me European women had funny ways!" "I hoped I'd get to nail you one more time. Didn't think it'd be literally." "Now, would you like to learn to shoot?" "I can already." "Oh, I saw. Very American. Fire enough bullets and hope to hit the target." "I may have been overly rude earlier... when I called you a pirate." "And I may have been overly charitable... when I said I wasn't. But I try to live in the now... where the ghosts of old wrongs do not abide." George

Indeed. Sarek tells Spock that he might have been wrong, causing amazement in Spock. You're up. George

This movie was originally crafted to introduce a new TV show. The movie ws released late, though, and the TV show started in January, rather than September, so the movie wound up being, essentially, one long episode of the show. George

Close enough. See the boldface. George

That's pretty much every film (and TV show) she's been in. George

Now troubles are many, they're as deep as a well. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. Here I go, Hey Hey! Here comes the devil, Right Behind. Look out children, Here he comes! Here he comes! Hey... Don't want to go by the devil. Don't want to go by demon. Don't want to go by Satan, Don't want to die uneasy. Just let me go naturally. George

I know the first part, but the stuff about Bill Murray and Joan Collins escapes me, for now. George

You're right about the "even" part. But it's not ST VI.) The next part of the conversation is: "Do you have a message for your mother?" "Yes. Tell her I feel...fine." George

"The Hobbitt"? George
