I have a feeling that that is a metqaphorical statement, but assuming it to be literal: "Tremors"? George

Yes. Somehow this thread has turned into The Nostalgia Thread. Sudo -- where are you? And, ocasionally, a contestant was well-known, so the panelists were blindfolded, adn the contestant disguised his/her voice. George

No. The "cards" were not playing cards, but flip cards with increasing numbers (in five-dollar increments?). A panel-type game show, a card was flipped when a panel member made an incorrect guess. If all ten cards were flipped, the contestant won. Sometimes, it was clear that the panel had no idea, and the moderator would simply "flip all the cards" and declare the contestant a winner. Ergo, my earlier post. The question, "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" was first popularized an this show. Any guesses? George

It does, indeed. The "Be the ball" line was Chevy Chase teaching a young man how to golf. Go, WW. George

That's it. (I think Louie Prima did it years earlier, too.) George

No, though the scene does involve golf, and it is a comedy. I just realized that I had the name wrong; and the exact quote is "Just be the ball, be the ball, be the ball. You're not being the ball Danny." Here's another line: "This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story outta nowhere. Former greenskeeper and now about to become the masters champion." George

Yeah. Too bad about Walter's son. Ironic that the episode you picked was "The Deadly Years." (Kirk and landing party all get old except for Chekov.) George

C'mon, hiway. You're up! George

Anyone? I would have thought this was a slam dunk! George

"Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over." "Eighteen months ago the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried 40 feet below the lunar surface near the crater Tycho." "Well, whaddya think?" "I'm not sure, what do you think?" "I've got a bad feeling about him." "You do?" "Yeah, definitely. Don't you?" "Don't suppose you have any idea what the damn thing is, huh?" "Wish to hell we did." "I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do." George

There's a difference between the size of an economy and its prosperity. California is HUGELY in the red, whereas Texas is doing rather well. How that would change if Texas were able to secede is unclear. Interestingly, states are required by law to have balanced budgets, because they aren't allowed to print their own money to cover reckless spending (as the Federal government is). Will Washington (D.C.) decide that California is "too big to fail" and force other states to subsidize it? I hope not, but it certainly seems in line with the present administration's desire to absolve abject failures of any responsibility for their actions by forcing successful enterprises to pay for them.

"Puttin' On the Ritz"? George

I didn't mean that to be a clue for another show, but we can go with it. Anyone other that hiway know what I mean? (This show also was probably "pre-WordWolf.") George

To steal a phrase from ANOTHER show, I'm just going to "flip over all the cards" here. The show was "Captain Nice." Carter Nash was a chemist with a potion that gave him super-powers. When he first used it, the explosion blew off his outer garments, leaving him in long johns and a belt. When asked what the "CN" on his belt buckle meant, the only answer he could come up with was "Captain Nice," much to his mother's dismay. At the same time, "Mr. Terrific" (not associated with the DC Comics character), with a similar story line, was carried on another network. Both shows lasted less than one season. Free post George

Coincidentally, both shows (on different networks) debuted the same day and were canceled the same day (I think). Geroge

Right. "A Matter of Honor." (And, by the way, I believe it's spelled 'gagh'.) You're up. George

"May I say, Captain, that you are receiving a fine officer!" "Thank you for your opinion. We will determine that for ourselves." George

Not "Sledge Hammer" (about two decades too late). Too bad hiway disqualified himself, because these lines from the opening sequence would (hopefully) have given it to him: "It's the man who flies like an eagle!" "It's the man with muscles of lead!" "It's the masked enemy of all evil!" "Are you kidding? It's some nut in his underwear." "That's no ordinary nut, son. That's..." "There's a would-be killer up there! Somebody get the police!" "You are the police!" "I certainly got here fast." "What you're proposing is illegal, immoral and just plain rotten!" "That's dandy; other mothers have sons that invent steamboats and telephones and things. Mine invents a lettuce machine." "This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything." "When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark." "Oh, every little kid's afraid of the dark." "During the day?" George

No, though the political subtext might have given you that idea. This show only ran one season, in the late 60's. Here are a couple more quotes. "There's a would-be killer up there! Somebody get the police!" "You are the police!" "I certainly got here fast." "What you're proposing is illegal, immoral and just plain rotten!" "That's dandy; other mothers have sons that invent steamboats and telephones and things. Mine invents a lettuce machine." "This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything." "When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark." "Oh, every little kid's afraid of the dark." "During the day?" George

We're going to hold you to that. This one was bit obscure, but I bet hiway and WW watched it... "This is a democracy, Mr. Ibid. We can arrest people for practically anything." "When I was a little kid, I was afraid of the dark." "Oh, every little kid's afraid of the dark." "During the day?" George

I infer from the previous two posts that the quotes were from one of the various Rocky and Bullwinkle shows, and that bulwinkl is stating that TLB was correct. If so, will TLB post one, this time? George

I think he said it three times in the half-hour! Anyway... I hope this goes in one quote, too, because I'm having trouble finding others "Eddie, kiss me goodnight!" George
