Ok, some competitions this round. Name ANY to take the round. A) In this competition, dog owners/dog trainers run obstacle courses with their dogs, and take challenges with them finding things by detecting scents. Often there's a part where the trainer and dog travel together on a zipline or down a wall. B) Surprise! You're not here to audition for a cooking show. You're here to participate in a cooking competition! You will now go head-to-head against a professional chef in making a dish around a selected ingredient. A panel of average people will judge the results. If you get at least ONE vote (from a panel of 6), you win the money. C) The best of the best Food Network chefs face off one-on-one in a randomized competition with a random ingredient, random kitchen tool, random heating element, random style, and random time limit. The dishes are presented by 2 other chefs/ food blogger experts, who inform the expert judges what was made (to make it a blind judging.) The winners move on, and the overall winner gets money and a big victory belt.

"I would kill for her. I would die for her. Either way, what bliss!"

So I can quiet the noise in my head, I'll ask. "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"?????????

Ha, I remembered correctly. Molly Ringwald The Breakfast Club Ally Sheedy

If we can't have another clue, can we have a different question?

"I'm just wild about Saffron"

Any chance the first one is "BURN NOTICE"????

OK, that helped me remember a name, or at least a commercial and a sentence. "THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE."

Ok, very hostile exchange between the wife and mother, and somebody else, that narrows down the possibilities. Possibly an angry nanny, now if I could remember some movie names that would help....

"*in harmony* They're digging in the wrong place!" Confirming. Go, George.

Mia Kirschner also played Ruby Cates in "Wolf Lake" (for all of us WL fans out there.) The 3 of us remember the detective following her across the state looking for her- not that we blame him. AFAIK, canon for this stuff is usually any theatrical releases, followed by television shows regardless of format. Afterwards there's other media (novels, comic books, etc.) So, either 2 or 3 tiers of canon, depending. For ST, the written works are considered the second tier. That's why you can find the movies and shows on Memory Alpha and the books on Memory Beta. On MA, any references in books are listed at the bottom, under "Behind the Scenes" (the same applies to Star Wars and Wookieepedia.)

Correct- but you knew that. Scott Pilgrim faces the seven evil ex's of his intended girlfriend, Ramona Flowers (who works for Amazon.ca). She has lots of varieties of tea at home, and changes the color of her hair whenever she feels like it.

"You made me swallow my gum! That's going to be in my digestive tract for seven years!" "Wait! We're fighting over Ramona?" "Didn't you get my email explaining the situation? "I skimmed it." "You will pay for your insolence!" "He punched the highlights out of her hair!" "We are Sex Bob-Omb and we are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff." "Amazon.ca! What's the website for that?" "Amazon.ca. " "You broke the heart that broke mine." "Well, if my cathedral of cutting-edge taste holds no interest for your tragically Canadian sensibilities, then I shall be forced to grant you a swift exit from the premises... and a fast entrance into hell!" "What kind of tea do you want?" "There's more than one kind?" "We have blueberry, raspberry, ginseng, sleepy time, green tea, green tea with lemon, green tea with lemon and honey, liver disaster, ginger with honey, ginger without honey, vanilla almond, white truffel, blueberry chamomile, vanilla walnut, constant comment and... earl grey." "Did you make some of those up?" "If you want something bad, you have to fight for it. Step up your game, Scott. Break out the L-word." "Lesbian?" "The other L-word." "...Lesbians???" "Every pilgrim reaches the end of its journey... some sooner than others." "Do you have any idea how long it took me to get all the evil exes' contact information so I could form this stupid league? Like, two hours! Two hours!" " Prepare to feel the wrath of the League of the Evil Exes." "What about Ramona Flowers?" "You know her? Tell me now." "Scott has unlocked the Power of Love!" " You doing okay there? "Yeah, good, good, good. She changed her hair." "So, it looks nice blue!" "Yeah I know, but she did it without making a big deal out of it or anything... She's fickle, impulsive, spontaneous... God what am I going to do? "

I think that's "SUNSHINE OF YOUR LOVE." (I don't need to post the artist in this thread, but I think it was "Cream" originally.)

BTW, the cryptic comments about "spectacular" were because the show has the word "amazing" in the title, and "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man" are related comics. As for the numbers, they're references to the Marvel Super Heroes Role Playing Game. In the MSH RPG, (basic), all characters had stats with number and description, and the same applied to their powers. So, their attributes were Fighting, Agility, Strength, Endurance, Reason, Intuition, and Psyche. All of them could be rated Feeble(2), Poor (4), Typical (6), Good (10), Excellent (20), Remarkable(30), Incredible(40), Amazing(50), Monstrous(75) or Unearthly(100). When necessary, there was also higher numbers, Shift X, Shift Y and Shift Z, and those related to cosmic characters. Anyway, each power had one of those ratings, also. An incredibly average person may have FASERIP scores ALL of "Typical (6). The numbers become important when doing calculations. Health score is the sum of FASE, and initial Karma score is the sum of RIP. If you throw a simple punch, you deal damage the same as your Strength rating. And so on, Armor has a rating, and will prevent standard damage equal to its rank (Incredible armor will pass along zero damage if an Incredible punch is delivered,) And so on. For the curious, Spider-Man has Amazing Agility and Amazing Spider-Sense, but the Incredible Hulk doesn't have any "incredible" stat. If anyone's still awake after all that, it's Raf's turn.

It IS "The Amazing Race." Have none of you guys ever seen it? We've seen about 24 seasons of it in my house. Of course, each season is a race, and there's around 11 episodes a season, but still.

Depends on your point of view... or possibly your thesaurus. To a handful of people, it would neither be considered Excellent (20), nor Remarkable (30), nor Incredible (40.) I'll be shocked if anybody else on this board can rattle off what that would mean. But to those people, "spectacular" would be all right as a descriptor, mainly because it lacked a numerical value to them. To some other people, "Spectacular" would be a RELATED word, but not EXACTLY the word called for as a descriptor here. For a show where speed is definitely a factor, I'm surprised this is taking so long. AFAIK, this is a current show in its original format, and has had more than 30 seasons in that format so far. One season was interrupted by Covid lock downs while the season was in progress- but they resumed as soon as it was feasible.

"Top Secret!" ?? Seriously, this isn't as easy as you think it is.

Those are INCREDIBLY different actors. What role could they POSSIBLY have in common...... Is this "Ebenezer Scrooge??????"

"Reginald and the Angry Dwights?" (If that's right, I'm really, really going to be shocked. )

"That's Incredible" was a show with scenes composed of video clips of people doing allegedly incredible things. IIRC, the first episode included early bungee jumpers (before that was a thing), and another early episode (or possibly the same one) showed a martial artist punch through a thick ice block. Another showed a man jumping a car, then jumping 2 cars. Personally, I felt it was set up to compete with "Real People", which was less fantastic and more human-interest, and started a year earlier. So, no, this round's description is nothing like "That's Incredible." It's a different remarkable show.

In case that was wrong somehow, JAMES GARNER???

The answer is correct. And I have no messages from you pending.

Travel around the world in pairs, and each week the slowest pair is eliminated as they arrive last. There's a million dollars on the line, with all sorts of stunts and tasks awaiting the pairs at every stop, not to mention prizes at different stops for the fastest team each stop. Yes, this is a popular show, and it's had local spinoffs filmed by Canada and Australia. What's this incredible show's name?
