Sorry I didn't check in sooner. If I'm correct..... The original British show was "Man About the House." It spun off "the Ropers" and morphed later into "Robin's Nest" with the male lead (of the 3 leads.) The US show was "Three's Company." It spun off "the Ropers". It was unsuccessfully succeeded by "THREE'S A CROWD." (Jack Tripper was spun off unsuccessfully in that one.) John Ritter and Suzanne Somers had shows ("...Rules for Dating my Daughter", "She's the Sheriff") and John Ritter had some movies. Don Knotts ("Barney Fife") was brought in as Ralph Furley when the Ropers were spun off. Norman Fell (Mr Roper) was in the original "Oceans 11." The actress who played Mrs Roper starred in an episode of "Tales from the Crypt" ("Collection Completed.")

That's it.

"You promised we could go and see the hanging." "Be sure it ain't your own." "Carry cash, at this time of night? All those thieves and robbers lurking in dark alleyways? I wouldn't dare." "In this life, one thing counts- in the bank, large amounts. I'm afraid these don't grow on trees. You've got to pick-a-pocket or two. You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, boys, you've got to pick-a-pocket or two." "Consider yourself... at home! Consider yourself... one of the family." "Pease pudding and saveloys, what next, is the question? Rich gentlemen have it, boys: In-di-gestion!"

Uh, how about Robert Di Niro?????

(wrong category, so, wrong type of guess)

It is. Often with George Carlin in early seasons, Garrett Morris was one of the Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time Players. A running gag was to point out in the news segment that Generalissimo Francisco Franco was "still dead." When Desi Sr hosted, they spoofed "the Untouchables" (a Desilu program) and "I Love Lucy." Allegedly, they showed some of the concepts they had for the show originally- and Desi Jr played Ricky in each version. "I Saw Lucy" (but we never actually got to SEE Lucy), "I Loathe Lucy"(too physically hard on Lucy, being hit like that), "I Love Louie" (but Satchmo was on contract with a different studio), etc. Personally, I'll never forget the poetry reading, with Desi Sr speaking like Ricky Ricardo, and reciting poetry by Lewis Carroll. *looks over the sheet* "Hhaber- woeky. By Luis Car-roll." When Carrie Fisher hosted (after Star Wars had come out), Leia beamed down into a beach party. (Yes, she beamed down. Don't blame me.) And of course, all these skits with spoofs of different things.

It is.

This show had a single episode with Desi Arnaz. Also appearing in the episode was Desi Arnaz Jr. In effect, he played Desi Arnaz in a few scenes. In the same episode, Garrett Morris briefly played Louis Armstrong ("Satchmo.") Desi himself played Roy Nitti in at least one scene, and spoke as himself. He also did a poetry reading of Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky." (Although, the next week, they did not actually have Charo show up to do a poetry reading as promised.) Later, he did a musical performance, both singing and with the conga drum. Strictly speaking, Jr did not play Sr on stage, but for most people, it probably worked out the same. He played Ricky Ricardo, in effect pretending he was Desi Sr playing Ricky Ricardo. There was also a single episode with Carrie Fisher. Who played a sort-of Annette Funicello role in one of those scenes from a beach movie (beach blanket something-or-other.) On the other hand, nobody played Generalissimo Francisco Franco, because he was still dead. Perhaps they should have gotten George Carlin to play him...it's not like he was a stranger to that show. Another episode had a scene decided upon by sound of applause. Jill St John appeared. The audience got to vote on the next skit, whether it was "Mac Arthur and Wife," "Macbeth and Wife", or "MacDonald and Wife." (So we got "MacDonald and Wife.")

"Scooby-dooby-doo."

The answer is AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I think that should count as correct.

I'll write on your tombstone and wake you for dinner. This game that the animals play is a winner! Well, let's BUNGLE IN THE JUNGLE.... One of JETHRO TULL's catchier songs.

Hail Mary time here.... "Heathers"????????

I would have gone with "Pink Cadillac." How about Every Which Way But Loose Beverly D'Angelo National Lampoon's Vacation

The big actor was GENE HACKMAN. Mel Brooks added the blind hermit's scene for him. Gene Wilder had approached Mel Brooks with his idea, and they collaborated. Their agent was the agent for PETER BOYLE. Mel Brooks jumped studios over the low budget. The studio that let him complete it got a runaway hit on their hands. They wanted the FEEL of the gloomy lighting, but not gloomy lighting for scenes. So, when they showed the background, there was gloom. Center stage was well-lit. The scene with the long argument- Gene Wilder insisted on the musical number- "Putting on the Ritz"! Mel Brooks later admitted he wasn't sure, so he checked how passionate Wilder was for the scene to be included. The rest is history...and the ladies and gentlemen in the audience threw lettuce and stuff before the scene ended. Go, George!

That's it!

That's it. Those were all easy for me, I'm surprised they were that tricky for you. Yosemite Sam playing cards and with ink spilled on his head. Bugs at the beginning of the Peter Lorre as mad scientist cartoon, Wile E. Coyote-super genius and Bugs, And Yosemite Sam clearing out a saloon. You might find this interesting. The line "And I don't mean Mahatma Gandhi!" was changed in recent decades to "And I ain't no namby pamby!" Your turn.

When this movie hit theaters, one famous actor was notably missing from the credits. He wasn't in a starring role or anything, he just wanted to be in the movie. In fact, at first, it was hard to recognize him at all in his role. For the record, the early scripts didn't really have his role, but when the director found out he wanted in on the movie, he (the director) hastily added a scene just so he (the famous actor) could be in it. When this movie was in the planning stages, 2 actors worked on the script. They had the same agent. He recommended a third actor be cast for a role somewhere. When asked why, he admitted he represented all 3 of them, and it was good for him for the other guy to get a role also. There was some disagreement over the budget. The studio came down with such a low budget for the movie that the director gave up on them and went to a different studio. They agreed, and the movie became a big hit, and rather famous. I'm glad they were able to fix communications with the lighting director. He was given one set of directions, then later told the lighting was awful. Finally, one writer pointed out what they SHOULD have told him from the beginning but they had NOT. (They didn't want gloomy, dark lighting for the scenes, that would have hidden everything. They wanted the FEEL of gloomy, dark lighting, but scenes that were well lit any way.) The lighting director was then able to give them what they wanted. (Good thing he spoke up, the lighting director was getting ready to walk out.) Deleted scenes included the reading of the will. One scene was the subject of a long argument between the two writers about whether or not it should be included- if it would detract from the movie, or add to the movie. It was eventually included- and is probably the best-remembered scene in the movie. (We also saw the famous trope- even people in formal dress seem to carry around vegetables or fruits to throw if they want to complain. Blink and you may miss it.)
