Hm. Is that why there were procedures for when an indentured servant had completed his term of indenture, and decided to extend his term to the rest of his life, becoming a slave after having spent years working under that person already?

Ok, if nobody's already hit 'add reply' before I do on the last one, we go from Animal House to John Belushi to Blues Brothers Frank Oz Trading Places

Hm, same thing happened to Raf....

Deleted- George beat me by a few minutes. I think the post didn't appear instantly, though...

Which means it's Human's turn.

DING! George was correct!

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. Stars Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, Carol Kane, Heather Graham, Melissa Joan Hart, Stephen Collins, Adrian Grenier, and Ali Larter. Part of the title was changed when a Britney Spears song was added to the soundtrack, and 2 actors (Melissa and Adrian) appeared in the video of the song to cross-promote and increase name recognition for the movie and the song.

In the 70s, I read the Mad Magazine spoof of it. A running gag was to rag on how boring it was, or the titular character was. ("The Duke of Nytol"?)

Nowadays, the tickets cost a lot more in the theaters. And that doesn't count DVD sales, Pay-Per-View, and syndication payments for networks to air them. Nor the overseas markets. If a film nowadays makes $15M domestically at the box office, it's a tiny indie film made for reasons other than making money (like impressing judges at Cannes or Sundance and generating buzz for the director.) By contrast, the Blair Witch Project made that in the first 3 weeks only counting the US box office. (And progressively more in the 16 weeks that followed.)

Barney Miller. The show has people, all the time, in the police station. The police have them sit down, fill out reports and papers, and so on. The average day of police work is more of that and less "rescue the hostages", for which I am thankful to [name redacted]. The cryptic comments were a reference to the spinoff- Abe Vigoda as "FISH." More than once, Abe Vigoda's been incorrectly announced as dead. Over the DECADES. Raf's turn!

I forgot I was up. Feel free if you're ready.

Yes. At least as of this posting.

It is definitely not any form of "reality"/camera show. It was definitely scripted. And it had a spin-off.

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.

The Proclaimers got their break on the "BENNY AND JOON" soundtrack after one actor (actress?) kept playing their stuff during filming.

...starting primarily with "Scream."

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.

"Stuart Little Nicky." :)

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.

That's it, of course. It's the plot-and the game on which it's based, all in one sentence.

"That's what we're trying to find out! We're trying to find out WHO killed him, and WHERE, and with WHAT!"

I'm thinking this is "the Carrie Diaries", some sort of prequel or something to "Sex and the City."
