  1. I forgot I was up. Feel free if you're ready.
  2. Yes. At least as of this posting.
  3. It is definitely not any form of "reality"/camera show. It was definitely scripted. And it had a spin-off.
  4. In this movie, a teenager flunks his driving test and goes out for a wild time anyway- and is sought by another high schooler as a replacement date for her prom. (I was going to make this a triple, but the description was going to be incoherent, so it's a standard before-and-after.)
  5. This show has often been cited as the "most realistic" cop show- the show the police have said-more than once- best reflects the average day of a police officer.
  6. The Proclaimers got their break on the "BENNY AND JOON" soundtrack after one actor (actress?) kept playing their stuff during filming.
  7. Hugo Weaving V For Vendetta John Hurt
  8. ...starting primarily with "Scream."
  9. It's a dead issue now, because it was asked and answered already. But, since at least one person misunderstood, I'll explain. (I had no problem understanding.) Raf asked for more information because Allan's answer was VAGUE. Here's a hypothetical. You're due to meet a friend at a place and time- but the friend is missing the address. You show up, prepared to wait or to have him fail to show up. He shows up on time. "How did you find the place?" you ask. "Divine intervention," your friend replies. Do you leave it at that? Most people wouldn't. Did that mean the friend felt a stirring to follow someone else there? Did he feel a leading to the correct location? Did he suddenly run into someone who knew exactly how to get there? Did someone walk up to him and suddenly volunteer to lead him there? Did The Heavens open and a rolling voice announce the address and cross-streets? Did a chariot of fire descend, give him a lift, and drop him off at the door? Was he suddenly transported from his previous location to that one in an instant? So, most people would ask what the friend meant. Would he perceive that as them challenging wherher or not he was correct? Most wouldn't. Many would smirk and explain what happened.
  10. Oddly enough, George's reply got me thinking in the right direction. You didn't say the show was ANIMATED. It's Clint, Jackie, Chuck and Bruce- the Adolescent Radioactive Black-belt Hamsters! Or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-Donatello, Raphael, Leonardo and Michelangelo. (I once prepped a character for the RPG based in the setting. I named him 'Dante.') I still think of the Turtles in reference to the old comic, not all the cartoons that came out, despite all their versions.
  11. That's it, of course. It's the plot-and the game on which it's based, all in one sentence.
  12. "That's what we're trying to find out! We're trying to find out WHO killed him, and WHERE, and with WHAT!"
  13. I'm thinking this is "the Carrie Diaries", some sort of prequel or something to "Sex and the City."
  14. the Social Network Justin Timberlake Shrek the Third
  15. Has to be someone with a "domino" mask, not a full face mask. Eliminate all the non-glowing wearers, and that leaves us with "Green Lantern."
  16. From Dusk til Dawn Cheech Marin Once Upon a Time in Mexico Ghostbusters II
  17. Wild swing... "The Doors"? That movie about Jim Morrison?
  18. "Nights in White Satin," the Moody Blues.
  19. It is "Hollywood Squares." The "You Fool!" episode is famous, and has Gilbert Gottfried (and Penn Gillette) yelling that several times in a round that just wouldn't end..... Hollywood, Florida had X and O cards instead of electric things. It's partly based on Tic-Tac-Toe. The spinoff was "Storybook Squares", a great concept that took up too much time to be practical.
  20. Ok, so then that's Hugh Grant Music & Lyrics Drew Barrymore
  21. Edie Adams Milton Berle Sid Caesar Buddy Hackett Ethel Merman Mickey Rooney Phil Silvers Terry-Thomas Jonathan Winters Don't blink or you'll miss The Three Stooges in a cameo appearance.
  22. This game show had an episode where round 1 lasted most of the episode, because both contestants kept guessing poorly at the last question, and they had to answer correctly to win it- despite having 50/50 odds at a wild guess to do so. "YOU FOOL!" accompanied many of the misses. It's based partly on a children's game. This show also had a short-lived spinoff, a game-show targeted towards children based on the original. Although this show is named for a location in California, it's held episodes in Florida in an identically-named location, using pictures of ring-buoys (life-preservers) and crossed water-skis during the games. The first version of the show premiered in 1966, the last version ended in 2004 (not counting syndication, of course.) Bert Parks, Peter Marshall, John Davidson and Tom Bergeron have hosted.
