The first season of Fantasy Island was interesting. From what you saw, you were never quite sure what Roarke was thinking, whether he was a good guy or not... In later seasons, he's more obviously a good guy, and I don't think that was an improvement. The Mrs and I are probably in the minority there.

"A Society gentleman would only go out with you for one reason: to have a good time, a few laughs, and a little vo-deo-doh-doh." "I don't vo-deo-doh-doh!" "You vo-deo-doh-doh." "I don't vo-deo-doh-doh!" "You vo-deo." "Once. I was going steady a whole year. I have a spotless reputation." "I am going to mold you. How does that make you feel?" "Like old bread."

I sat here wondering if "R" by itself was a typo. After I saw Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington on the list, I knew it wasn't a typo. "JOHN CLEESE." In the HP movies, he played "Nearly Headless Nick", aka Sir Nicholas etc. In the James Bond movies, he played R, who replaced "Q" in the exotic weapons division, Division Q. I forgot which letter he had, but it was definitely Cleese. Where have i head "Archie Leach" and "Halfdan the Black" before?

"All Saints Day", featuring old William Shatner-face!

Was this MAE WEST???

"Gwendylspier Boughgrough." I may be wrong about the exact spelling of the first name, if so, it's what I wrote before, but she actually spells the last name briefly. The first name's last syllable is pronounced "spire" or "spear" by different people, so there's only 2 real possibilities for the spelling- "spire" or "spier."

"Fantasy Island"? It's one of the shows that had 1/2 hour episodes in syndication. It ran for something like 6 seasons.

Probably. Besides Harry Potter 3-6, he was in... Kingsman-the Golden Circle Victoria and Abdul Paddington Quartet The King's Speech The Book of Eli Fantastic Mr Fox Brideshead Revisited The Omen(2006 remake) Being Julia Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow Ali G Indahouse Gosford Park(2001) Dancing at Lugnasa Mary Reilly Squanto-A Warrior's Tale Toys (1992) Mobsters(1991) The Cook,the Thief,His Wife & Her Lover (1989) The Beast Must Die (1974) Othello (1965) All not counting Sleepy Hollow nor any TV roles. Get out, he was in "The Beast Must Die"? Oh, he was the guy with the cheesy moustache. I remember the character, but I haven't seen the movie since learning who Michael Gambon is.

Sleepy Hollow Christina Ricci Addams Family Values (Sleepy Hollow starred a bunch of Brits and a few famous Americans.)

That was it. One of my favorite skits of all time was one where Maggie Smith appeared. Imagine my shock when someone looked at the skit and said "That's Maggie Smith!" There were at least 2 skits involving the Queen, her husband, and Private Newberry. (He was a national hero when he saved his platoon by swallowing a live hand grenade, which meant he had no internal organs.) In one, he's a palace guard, and won't let them in because he doesn't recognize the monarchs! In the one I like, they're dedicating a ship in his honor- the HMS Private Newberry. His problem? First, he didn't want them to hit "his ship" with the bottle. (Independent of whether or not anyone could pronounce the name of his girlfriend correctly, him included.) The second problem? He wanted it named after how his friends called him. He wanted the HMS Stinky. Maggie Smith made a number of appearances on the Carol Burnett Show, in roles, comedic and serious, and sang, and even did at least one song-and-dance number. That's based just on my observations. The Carol Burnett Show may or may not be available to you for streaming. I can reach it on Plex. (It may or may not be available there or on Pluto or on some other service for you locally.)

Eventually, repetition is inevitable, but we're only 2 pages in. George, take another crack at it. Call it a do-over.

As per the clue, it's also a US show where someone played Queen Elizabeth and someone played her husband, Prince Philip. (More than once, actually.)

I'm trying to figure out if you really think MPFC was a US show or not. Terry Gilliam (the artist) was from the US, all the rest were/are Brits. Again, I'm looking for a US show where Dame Maggie Smith made a number of appearances in humorous and semi-serious roles, and also sang and danced. If there were dance numbers in MPFC, my memory fails me. There were few songs, most of them along the lines of "the Lumberjack Song."

The first was probably his most memorable line from "The Mask." The fourth was Bruce Almighty. The third was from the first Ace Ventura movie, when he bent over and pretended to sing from his behind. The other quotes I used so far were the 2nd Ace Ventura movie. He met a VIP at an embassy who resembled "The Monopoly Guy", but had a monocle. He dared a spear throw in the fight scene with the spears. If you've seen the scene, you might remember it as clearly as I do. The last quote was when he was meeting the Wachati tribe. His guide was greeting them as they walked past. "Bombaway achuna." Ace Venture greeted them also, in his own way, as best he could. "Bumblebee tuna."

It IS Jim Carrey. What's a familiar line is partly subjective.

"Ssssmokin'! "You must be The Monopoly Guy. Thanks for the Free Parking!" *sung*"@- $$holo mio! Sodomia!"*sung* “I want her to be happy, no matter what that means. I want her to find someone who will treat her with all the love she deserved from me. I want her to meet someone who will see her always as I do now, through Your eyes.” “I'll have you know that I have the reflexes of a cat and the speed of a mongoose. Throw it. I dare you!” "Hi there. Nice to see ya. Bumblebee tuna. Bumblebee tuna!”

The late Dame Maggie Smith has passed away recently. Most people remember her for her movie roles. Her younger fans remember her for her role as Professor Minerva McGonnagall in the "Harry Potter" movies. She's had many other roles as British women, in movies like "Hook" (as Wendy all grown up) and so on. Her career has encompassed stage and screen for decades, largely the large screen. (Fans of "Downton Abbey" may feel free to disagree.) That having been said, she made regular appearances on a US television show some time ago. That show is in syndication to this day. When people were online mentioning her roles recently, Mrs Wolf added a name to the list that we (Mr & Mrs Wolf) remember her by- her single appearance as "Ms Gwendylspire Beaugrauf." (Spelling up for debate, as was the pronunciation.) That woman was the Significant Other of the British soldier Private Archibald Newberry. She bears the dubious distinction of being the only known woman to meet Prince Phillip (Queen Elizabeth's husband) and greet him with the words "Hello, sailor." On this same show, she played a number of roles, semi-serious roles, humorous roles, and a few roles where she sang and danced. What was the name of this show?

I'm still thinking. If anyone wants to jump in, go ahead. I should have something within 12 hours or so.

"Ssssmokin'! "You must be The Monopoly Guy. Thanks for the Free Parking!" "@- $$holo mio! Sodomia!"

It starred: Kenneth Branagh, Kate Winslet, Robin Williams, Gerard Depardieu, Timothy Spall, Jack Lemmon, Brian Blessed, Billy Crystal, Charleton Heston, Richard Attenborough, John Gielgud, and Dame Judi Dench. Timothy Spall Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Michael Gambon

"Electrical banana is gonna be a sudden craze."

That last quote throws me, but I think the 2nd quote is ROBERT DE NIRO.

Danny de Vito's character to Arnie's character, when the latter visited the former in jail, through the phone and bulletproof wall thing.

Wild Wild West Kenneth Branagh Hamlet KB's "Hamlet" had an all-star cast. BTW, it's surprising how many people out there told me the same thing about "Wild Wild West." They said that Jim West was Robert Conrad, and Will Smith just couldn't fill his shoes. (I also heard the same thing about "Maverick" and James Garner and Mel Gibson.)

When George comes back, I'll want to know if this was "the Beverly Hillbillies."
