Was it simply called "Wyatt Earp"?

"She's the Man Show." I'll never forget the segment of "the Museum of Annoying Guys", but my favorite was the one where they got women to sign a petition to end women's suffrage by using reflexive explanations. ("Women are suffraging needlessly right this minute!" like that.)

Ok, I figured "Old West" meant "Spectre of the Gun," and this means it's referring to an account of the Shootout/gunfight at the OK Corral. So, maybe this is "Tombstone." (aka "Old Guns." XD )

One line definitely rings a bell, but I can't place it yet.

I also think the answer isn't "yes/no" and that's it. I think there was definitely something of God in people being drawn to God and choosing to embrace peace rather than hate or violence. I think the cultural zeitgeist paved the way for that, and lots of youths looked in lots of directions for their answers. Some found them in drugs, some in no-strings sex or drugs, some in Eastern philosophies, some in permutations of some or all of the above. I also think that some of the kids who dabbled in those brought that with them when they became "Jesus People" and so on, which is why, ultimately, I can't UNRESERVEDLY just say "yes" when pointing to them.

But they said nothing when they said they had something to say. "We're just trying to be friendly" was about as controversial as they got. (I'm not counting their theatrical release film, "Head", because that was quickly forgotten and is usually overlooked.) It's like people who have to tell you they're "profound" because they never demonstrate it. To the unobservant, they can actually pass along the idea despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Are we still on Shakespeare, by any chance?

Let's go obscure again. Answer ANY to take the round. A) This failed show could be seen as an attempt to remake "Gilligan's Island." 6 survivors of nuclear war tried to survive together on a farm and rebuild civilization. Yes, a wacky comedy set post-apocalypse. There was a schoolteacher, a homeless man (no longer homeless, he's on a farm), a radical feminist bookstore employee, a "research biologist" (he was stated to be a PATHOLOGIST and it came up in the dialogue how he missed doing analyses of cadavers), a hair salon employee, and a venture capitalist. 13 episodes were planned, 10 were aired before Fox pulled the plug. B) This MTV game-show had people sitting in a fake living room and served snacks in between the rounds while the contestants answered questions somewhat pretending to watch television and channel-surf. Adam Sandler was one host, as was Colin Quinn, Kari Wuhrer and Denis Leary, but Ken Ober started it off. The premise was that he set up his basement to host a game-show. Contestants sat belted into recliners. I loved watching them go to commercial break...the contestants would get snacks. Some would be lowered, but if it was a party food like cereal or popcorn, they had to get their bowl over their head fast as a rain of the stuff came down. It lasted for 5 seasons. Categories were selected by the contestants, supposedly by using their hand-held gadgets. C) This Comedy Central game-show had experts in pop culture that had to be out-smarted. 3 were regulars, and a 4th chair rotated among specialists in specific pop culture subjects. Occasionally, an expert was replaced- the music one was changed, and the Star Wars one who rotated in was different as well. Every episode had a music expert, a TV expert and a movie expert, and the rotating 4th....of course, they never, ever called them "experts", they called them something much nerdier...

Ha! Good one!

The "so" suggests there's a connection between this question and the subject of the thread, but it looks like an attempt at a derail instead. Why do you ask, and why ask on this thread when making a new thread that's relevant is free?

Hey- so long as the link doesn't END with those, that's perfectly fine. Val Kilmer Real Genius William Atherton

That's it.... that her face, at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale"." Your turn.

There's 2 things about the Beatles- the music and the zeitgeist. As for the music, much of it stands the test of time and I'll listen to it or sing along depending on the song. As for the zeitgeist, they were in the right place at the right time with the message that the kids wanted to hear. Naturally that took off. If you give even a NONSENSE message, but the kids want to hear it, you'll have a fanbase, even if it's only the easiest to lead.

Talking about perception being everything... You grew up in the USA. You had preconceived ideas about Christianity before pfal. You hadn't articulated them as preconceived ideas. But you'd heard of Christianity, you'd heard of Christians, you'd had some kind of exposure, one way or another. So, unless your brain was missing functionality in most of the cognition centers, you had SOME preconceived ideas. (If the other case was true, you wouldn't be able to post here and form sentences.) If anyone was going around, calling difficult students "sodomizers", then the students didn't need to help make them look stupid. Their PERCEPTION was that they were serving God Almighty. Your PERCEPTION was that they were serving the evil one. Then there was the reality, where all of you were serving organizations but didn't perceive that. Apparently, their church-group was fine with them breaking the law and the spirit of the law. So was vpw, who had many such steps in getting pfal to you locally. twi's kept that up, too- I think they're still telling people to get big TVs for classes and returning them for full refunds if they can get them. They were probably safe from physical violence. I never heard anyone advocate or threaten violence against anyone on the field, only at Root locales, like the Corps or the ROA. Your PRESENT perception is that the stolen materials were "real spiritual light rather than the religious conterfeit." That's an interesting perception.

"We skipped the light fandango. Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor. I was feeling kinda seasick, but the crowd called out for more. The room was humming harder as the ceiling flew away. When we called out for another drink the waiter brought a tray. And so it was that later as the miller told his tale"

I'd question that being fair, but you've already seen me use this show in a round, so I think you'd know I'd get it. Let's see.....

No bites? Ok, how about I swap the last guy? Peter O'Toole King Ralph John Hurt Can't tell me you don't know him. Richard Griffiths is easily spotted as Uncle Vernon Dursley in 7 of the 8 movies of a popular series about a boy wizard. John Hurt has been in a LOT of things.

Nicely phrased, from both of you.

"We skipped the light fandango. Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor."

Freddie Prinze Sr and the "other Chico." Eddie Albert. I know him entirely from this show and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. I remember, vaguely, Della Reese from there. Scatman Crothers was a LOT more recognizable. "Stick out your can, 'cause here comes the Garbage-Man!" It confused me horribly to think that Mexicans looked exactly like Puerto Ricans when I was a kid. It didn't occur to me that the "Mexican" was played by a Puerto Rican. (I could have gotten this one if I'd had a few hours to log in.)

Automatically rejecting anything old just because it's not new is foolish. However, we're talking about the foolishness of rejecting the new and embracing the old JUST because it's old. That's demonstrably foolish. It's like seeing characters like "Disco Stu" who can't grow past their glory moments of decades ago, in the 70s and 80s. To see it in real life is sad and cliched. It's watching someone refuse to grow up. To look back at past decades- the styles and fads, is to look back at silliness to a degree because styles and fads ARE silly to a degree. They're popular at a moment in time for arbitrary reasons (generally) and returning to them for arbitrary reasons when you're the ONLY one who's trying to return to an old fad is just sad.
