Is that "Mad Men" ?

Wild swing here.... Annie Potts?

Although I would agree with this statement, you're doing a disservice concerning the rest. You quoted a biased source, labelled it unbiased, and got called (successfully) on it. That's worth some chagrin, but really, suck it up and move on. If you don't do that, and instead make it personal, how can you hit upon any of the perfectly legitimate points left unaddressed here? I mean, Raf accidentally POSTED one in the past day, and you missed it completely because you were busy being emotional on a subject that should be approached coldly. You can do a LOT better than that, and usually do. If you respond to points with nothing more than emotion, Raf will come away thinking you've proved he was right because you had nothing to respond with other than volume.

Liam Neeson.

That's it. Why Alfalfa and Herb Alpert (the musician) were in there, I can't guess.

That's it.

I'm with you so far.

"You have all overbid."

Here's a triple. In this animated (?) TV movie, we follow the life of a boy/man. As a young teen, he discovers an alien device (the Omnitrix) that allows him to transform into alien forms. As an older teen, he has to find an un-date-able girl in school a date so he can date her younger sister (somewhat like a takeoff of Shakespeare.) As an adult, he goes through a mid-life crisis and becomes infatuated with this blonde, cornrow-wearing married woman he meets.

That's him, in "S1m0ne", "the Devil's Advocate" and "Scarface."

No idea about the first role, but the other 2 are definitely "Sean Penn."

"Coming Home Alone." (We might have done this one a few years back.) Yes, once upon a time, we did this one. Gets tough to cover new ground after a while...

That was indeed "HAMLET." David Tennant did a version alongside Patrick Stewart as King Claudius. Mel Gibson, IMHO, spent the most time of the versions, speaking and moving as the character, and not as Mel Gibson. I was quite shocked and impressed. (If nobody got it, I was going to mention 3 more actors and then it should have been obvious.) Ethan Hawke's "Hamlet" set the thing in modern society, with a corporation at risk rather than Denmark. (No, I haven't seen it.)

Sounds like a description of "COP ROCK."

I never knew that about Professor Falken. I'll always remember him and "Joshua" chatting together at the end of "WAR GAMES", however. How about a nice game of chess?

On at least one thread, we did. The idea is to keep from stalling threads indefinitely.

Ok, that's Robin Williams. John Keating from "Dead Poets Society" and Peter Banning from "Hook."

Since there were 2 spinoffs and one successor, it should have been obvious this wasn't it, even before you noted the Jeffersons did well. The Ropers equivalent was called "George and Mildred." The characters George and Mildred Roper were spun off to that show. I was actually surprised about that. I remembered Man About the House and Robin's Nest, though, since they were in syndication in NYC on a local channel for a time. (WNYW, before the Fox network was formed, when it was an independent channel. Back when NYC had independent channels on 5, 9 and 11, with PBS on 13 and CBS, NBC and ABC on 2,4 and 7 like now. Now, 5 is Fox, 9 is UPN and 11 is CW.) If that was unclear, Raf was correct.

I'll try and clean that up a bit. This is about a US TV sitcom that was based on a UK TV sitcom. The UK TV sitcom lasted several seasons, then ended and 2 other sitcoms spun off from it. One was based on a couple from the previous series, the other was based on a main character from the previous series. The US TV sitcom lasted several seasons. A few seasons in, they spun off a couple from the series into their own sitcom (the couple corresponding to the couple who got their own series in the UK.) When ther main US TV sitcom ended, it was succeeded directly by a new sitcom, based primarily around one main character from the previous series (the one corresponding to the one who was spun off to his own series in the UK.) In the US, the main sitcom was very successful, but the 2 spinoffs were not.
