"Ve-rry in-teresting. But stupid."

Based on very vague memories, and some cartoon spoofs, I'm going with "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW."

Next song.... "I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot 'cause I'm in hell." *skip* "We're no strangers to love. You know the rules and so do I (Do I). A full commitment's what I'm thinking of. You wouldn't get this from any other guy." Please name the song in boldface. (Bragging rights if you can name the song NOT in boldface, which is harder.)

"There is a House in New Orleans"

Should be "Fly Like an Eagle." I'm having trouble remembering the original artist ("Steve Miller Band"???), so I'm going with "SEAL", who, I'm confident, did a neat cover.

I keep seeing the title as "Beep Beep (Little Nash Rambler)", and searches for "Little Nash Rambler" keep ending in articles about a song called "Beep Beep". Wikipedia lists it as "Beep Beep." So, pending some truly authoritative source, I'm counting that as official. I'll have another song up shortly.

"Rosebud."

BZZT! Incorrect title, George. (And "New York, New York," old blue eyes.)

I've avoided the new stuff, but the 8 movies based on the 7 books, those I saw. Even if you only watch them when they air on TV, they're not hard to find. Generally, if I want, I can see those and the LotR movies airing on one channel or another.

Mr T as Clubber Lang in "Rocky 3."

"While...ri-ding...in...my....Ca-di-llac...much...to....my....sur-prise..."

This is a game show that lasted for several seasons, on different channels, and even spawned a video game based on gameplay. The actual gameplay was pretty straightforward, but a lot of the show's success was based not on the gameplay, but on STYLE. The gameplay for an entire episode could be over in less than 5 minutes, but we padded it out with responses from the audience, with feedback from family members there to support the player, and with the show's unseen antagonist occasionally doing something unexpected in the game area. In at least a few episodes, we saw the show's antagonist very clearly and got to hear them. That was because they got permission to exchange the antagonist for DARTH VADER, and there's no reason to include him if you can't see or hear him. The rest of the show's cast also got a wardrobe change for those episodes, as well (all 26 of them), although the host kept his suits. The name of the show is easy to understand for anyone who has watched even one episode of the show, since the show is dominated by asking one simple question. The name of the show is NOT written as a question despite that.

Free post.

OK, that one was "The Faculty", which has a cult following, and, apparently, may be unknown outside that cult following.

*taps microphone* Anyone reading the thread?

Normally I'd ask for more, but I don't care anymore. I thought we were going to see WordPup sign up just to answer the question or something. You're thinking of DANIEL RADCLIFFE, which is correct. Go, George!

"I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I don't exist." "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." "Mischief managed." "My eyes aren't 'glistening with the ghosts of my past!' " "Be brave, Professor. Be brave like my mother ... Otherwise, you disgrace her. Otherwise, she died for nothing. Otherwise, the bowl will remain empty ... forever." "You betrayed my parents! You're the reason they're dead!" "Don't worry. My dad will come. He'll conjure the Patronus. Any minute now. Right there. You'll see." "Expecto patronum!" "He's back! He's back! Voldemort's back! Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn't leave him-- not there!" "Working hard is important. But there is something that matters even more, believing in yourself. Think of it this way; every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now: students. If they can do it, why not us?" "All students must be equipped with... a one standard size two pewter cauldron, and may bring, if they desire, either an owl, a cat, or a toad. Can we find all this in London?" "Not to be rude or anything, but this isn't a great for me to have a house-elf in my bedroom."

WordPup stopped in and got it from the first quote.

Not even FF 7? That set a record for sales, and was advertised up the yin-yang!

Definitely recognizable from one line! "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard," Simon and Garfunkel. I wonder how Art Garfunkel and John Oates are these days.

Police Squad! In Color!

"I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I don't exist." "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." "Mischief managed." "My eyes aren't 'glistening with the ghosts of my past!' " "Be brave, Professor. Be brave like my mother ... Otherwise, you disgrace her. Otherwise, she died for nothing. Otherwise, the bowl will remain empty ... forever." "You betrayed my parents! You're the reason they're dead!" "Don't worry. My dad will come. He'll conjure the Patronus. Any minute now. Right there. You'll see." "Expecto patronum!"

He's definitely a man.

So, we have a game show, a cast of 26 plus a host plus some kind of antagonist we normally don't see. The gameplay is pretty straightforward, but the show's time is padded out with a lot of style. It's around the world, and a video game was made of the show.

"Now do you think you can beat The Champ?" "I can take him blindfolded." "What if he's not blindfolded?" "I can still beat him." "I'd just come from the stockyards. We'd gotten reports of hundreds of cows had been senselessly slaughtered in the area, but I couldn't find any evidence. I stopped off for a hamburger and checked in with headquarters." "Who are you and how did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith." "There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious in laundromats on the West Side. Unfortunately, I was assigned to investigate holdups of neighborhood credit unions. I was across town doing my laundry when I heard the call on the double killing. It took me twenty minutes to get there. My boss was already on the scene." "Cigarette?" "Yes, I know." "It took me two weeks to find Stella's apartment. She had neglected to give me her address." "Is this some kind of bust?" "Yes, it's very impressive, but we'd just like to ask a few questions."
