Thanks for keeping me up on what's new and resuming. BTW, saw John Cena give an interview in his Peacemaker costume. It looks JUST like the outfit from the comics- I identified it instantly, even with his helmet off to open the interview. The resemblance is uncanny. I'm now interested in seeing whatever he's supposed to be in just to see Peacemaker in action. I forget if he's supposed to be in movies, but IIRC he's got a show that's supposed to start filming eventually as well.

Ok, next round. Get one show correct to advance. This Covid crisis has really altered TV schedules. A lot of older stuff came out of the drawers, and a number of new items got rushed into production, while a lot of current stuff got stopped for a season. Some shows, however, managed to retool and continue airing, albeit with some radical changes. A) This show continued to air through the worst isolation. However, it was great if you wanted to stay current during Black HIstory Month, and it seemed to transform from a comedy show to a "Black Empowerment" show with little humor. Blame the host entirely. who knew all about race relations- in another country but not about the US. He did, however, put a fake "World Cup" trophy toy on a shelf, visible in camera for most or all of the shows filming from his home. B) This show continued to air through the worst isolation as well. Still airing but still not in its usual studio, the current set is nonetheless decorated and resembles the host's office, imaginary or real, complete with a Captain America shield on the wall and in camera shot. The "meanwhile" feature has been "quarantine-while" for the past year. He's also had his limited editions of the Lord Of The Rings books on display, and used them as a point of discussion. His current set is in the same building his studio is in, but they're not using the studio right now because of obvious reasons (the current crisis.)

Ok, next song. "No more pencils, no more books. No more teachers' dirty looks."

Ok, this was "HOT SUMMER NIGHT", one of Meat Loaf's spoken-word songs. "On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?" Then the entire exchange follows, with her eventually breathing out the "(Yes)" to the guy asking the initial question and answering all of her questions. After her "(Yes)", he asks again. "On a hot summer night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses?" "Yes." "I bet you say that to ALL THE BOYS!" Then the music begins and we immediately launch into "Took the Words Out of My Mouth." All of that's from "Bat Out Of Hell", and lyricist JIM STEINMAN (Bernie Taupin to Meat Loaf's Elton John) is the guy who we heard in "Hot Summer Night."

"I once had a girl- or should I say, she once had me."

"Ah, Chicago. Bang, bang!" John Candy Plains, Trains and Automobiles Steve Martin

Sheena Easton's "Morning Train." Actually, no. That song was originally billed as "Morning Train (9 to 5)". Later, it was called "9 to 5." Then it was changed to just "Morning Train". That was because Dolly Parton had sung the hit "9 to 5", which is the answer to this round. Yes, I'm familiar with both songs. We actually sang "9 to 5" in chorus, and I've seen the movie long ago.

"Get your motor running. Head out on that highway!"

In The Ghetto.

Ok, let's see... Where? "At TWI." Didn't narrow it down as much as he thought it did. When? "The last 20 years." Ok that narrows down the "when"- which narrows down the "where" as well. Someone who was in the last 20 years only may not even know about various campuses. There's HQ/the farm. there's "The Way Family Ranch". So, it was one or the other, or both of those. If it was in Ohio, it was at HQ/ the farm. If it was in Colorado in the middle of nowhere, it was the "ranch." By that time, I think everything else had been sold off.

"There she was, just a-walking down the street"

Old Blue Eyes' "New York, New York."

Jim Belushi Red Heat Arnold Schwarzenegger

If it wasn't him, my very last guess would have been Jerry O'Çonnell. Thanks. Give me a day for the next one.

"Major Tom" was mentioned in 3 songs. He was introduced by David Bowie in "SPACE ODDITY." Peter Schilling wrote "MAJOR TOM" from the major's perspective. And in "Ashes to Ashes" Bowie suggests Major Tom wasn't an astronaut at all (Bowie was wrestling with all the personas of his past at the time.) THIS song was "Space Oddity" but "Major Tom" was Peter Schilling's song. For some reason I could swear on my life that, when it charted, the DJs said the artist was "Information Station", but I can find no references to them now whatsoever. I don't know if I was just VERY mistaken or if there was a scrub of a band off records for some reason.

Uh, rumor had it that the other 2 spin-offs were the Lou Grant Show (a drama), and "PHYLLIS" (by exclusion, the remaining comedy.) So, is it "PHYLLIS"?

Let's see if any of you know this one, it's not that rare. It IS, however, Spoken-word. This is a 2-person exchange. "Would he offer me his mouth?" "Yes." "Would he offer me his teeth?" "Yes." "Would he offer me his jaws?" "Yes." "Would he offer me his hunger?" "Yes." "Again, would he offer me his hunger?" "YES." "And would he starve without me?" "Yes." "And does he love me?" "Yes." "(Yes.)"

Fine, Sir Reginald Dwight, since his legal name and not his stage-name was knighted.

I thought that was Will Smith also, but let's see..... "Teen Wolf" had Michael J. Fox, but the sequel sorta retold it with a different teen. Young, Caucasian actor, let's see.... "Identity Thief"... who played Sandy whats-his-name........ "JASON BATEMAN????"

Pulp Fiction Uma Thurman The Producers

"I see a little silhouett-o of a man."

Now it's starting to sound possible. Um, "Rhoda???"

Yes! I was going to include the judge firing the pistol but I ran out of "max total size" like you guys.

But Pat Boone didn't appear in "Top Secret!" Seriously, I can't remember ANY Pat Boone stuff offhand. A bit of Little Richard, yes, but it's hard enough for me to remember John Denver, let alone Pat Boone.
