The answer IS "WAGON TRAIN."

As far as I know, this show hasn't been in syndication in a long time. (I haven't even seen 1 episode.) However, it was famous in its time. The part that confuses me is how, later, 2 completely-different TV shows would air- shows in a different genre than this show, shows that had marked differences from each other but shared a genre, and it was claimed that both were meant to be inspired by this show. The first of those shows, IMHO, didn't sound like it resembled the original show at all. The second of those shows, IMHO, looks to have been some sort of adaptation or closely inspired by this show. Despite the 2 shows not airing in the same years as each other (NOT COUNTING SYNDICATION, one ended before the other began), the second show was sued for supposedly ripping off the first show. Some of us think the people who did the first show were claiming that to make a TV show in the same genre was automatically ripping them off because the shows really didn't resemble each other. What I want is the name of the ORIGINAL show. BTW, it was a black-and-white TV show, but the other 2 were not. Both of the color shows were well-known as well.

It's the "reality" show from SyFy that I remembered more than the other. Whose turn is it?

If you deliberately lived a life indulging in everything with the deliberate intention of a deathbed conversion wiping all of that out, when it came time, you might recite the words with a convincing sound like any actor, but you certainly wouldn't mean them. You'd have your deathbed, but no "conversion." There certainly would be no repentance, so there would be no sincerity. We know vpw was a great big fraud who thought sincerity was something a faker could actually do- but a faker can only FAKE sincerity. Any actor can FAKE an emotion, but that wouldn't be their true feeling and a reflection of their heart. Any fraud or conman like vpw could fake sincerity but could not actually produce it. When it comes down to the difference between what is in the heart- and not what is reflected on the face for any person- vs what someone CLAIMS is in the heart, the difference is dramatic. Jesus even warned us about fakers who claimed to do supernatural things in Jesus' name (they're out there...) He knew that fakers will try to get salvation by faking it, or trying to fast-talk God, or trying to fool Him. That's an awful time for someone to learn that they backed the wrong horse. Besides, obeying God isn't about trying to EARN SALVATION. It's about a deliberate choice to do the right thing- whether to make God happy, or simply because the right thing IS the right thing to do. There's also additional rewards, but I have trouble picturing most sincere Christians really being motivated solely by racking up rewards points.

Ok, I thought it was "Scream Queens" so I should have jumped in with a guess. I can at least get partial credit if I'm correct that the actress was JAMIE LEE CURTIS.

Gene Hackman ("I was gonna make espresso!") Superman-The Movie Terrence Stamp

That was a reference to "The Distinguished Gentleman" and how he got elected.

Danny DeVito Batman Returns Michael Keaton

His was the name you know? XD Well, it was correct. ("Jeff" Johnson)

We need more clues so we (George) have some kind of shot at answering this.

"Was it Ramona's husband who offed himself? After her affair with LCM? " Yes, it was. (I followed the story because I'd met the guy when he did his interim year.) He had found out about the affair, and was trying to leave the grounds with his wife. He was talking to her, trying to get her to agree with him, and apparently was successful. lcm heard about this. (Overheard were comments like how he couldn't compete with lcm.) lcm sent someone who knew her and told him to stop her from leaving. Apparently, he was successful, and she changed her mind and decided to stay. T0m M1tch311 found out she was going to stay after all. He chose to respond by blowing his own brains out. I imagine shortly after that, she no longer was considered Ramona M1thch3ll.

This reminds me of a conversation Mrs Wolf and I had the other day. Was this "WAG THE DOG"???

In case you missed the announcements, this is probably a good time to point out that the GSC doesn't have any requirements of beliefs or statements of beliefs. As survivors of twi, some of us are still Christian (waves hand), some of us have embraced any of a variety of other religions like Judaism or Wicca, some of us have rejected all conventional types of religion, some of us are atheists. It shouldn't be a shock, post-twi, to find out that some people were burned so badly in twi that they outright hate Christianity, and they may also be around as well. Most of the twi survivors have moved on to other things, and, as always, I consider them GSC success stories because they were able to move on with their lives. Don't be surprised if you also find, here or elsewhere, ex-twi who all but worship vpw and insist-against all logic and internal consistency- that God Almighty really DID speak to him and said he's God's Greatest Spokesman for the last 2000 years. There's a handful of them around here and other places. Also around, and more common, are Christians who left twi but are still Christians. Some have changed beliefs since then (having rejected what they saw as errors of twi), some haven't changed their beliefs much. As for "around here", I found that the Covid crisis changed what was "around here" for a lot of people. If a group has a Skype or a Zoom meeting, in place of or in addition to, their live meeting, it doesn't matter if the attendees live down the block or on another continent. So long as you can get online, you can attend the meeting, so bad weather, ill health, quarantines, etc. don't change that.

Ok, "Stanley Goodspeed" rings a bell because someone used that as an alias here.... But I recognize the 2 main characters from "Face/Off", and one is Castor Troy (naturally, his brother was Pollux Troy.) As a fan of the more recent "Gone in 60 Seconds", Memphis Raines is a giveaway. That was the main character in the movie, and obviously NICOLAS CAGE. (By "the other main character", I meant Sean Archer, not Pollux.)

The Great Muppet Caper John Cleese Charlies Angels-Full Throttle

"Charlie Bodell" and "Ben Sanderson" ring a bell, very faintly. If "Sailor Ripley" is the talented Mr Ripley, this should be MATT DAMON.

"It sounds like you're saying your folks followed you in and then out?" That oversimplifies it by a bit, but that's approximately correct.

Keep in mind that all parents are not the same, just as all experiences are not the same. "IMO, don't hope for leadership to see how well you appear to be doing and think it will inspire them." Actually, that's how BOTH of my parents got into twi and how both of my parents got OUT of twi (although they both knew other people jumping ship when I did.) When those happened, my parents changed their ideas about their relations with what I did and why. (For that matter, since they weren't together at either time, they both did that independently of each other.)

If you recover and have a happy life despite twi, your family will likely notice that there's life- happy life- outside twi and they might see that it's better outside than in. Just being a sane example might be the best thing for them. When they are ready to look for options or to jump ship, they will.
