Human without the bean

You've got a couple there George. I should have added no sequels to the list. This premise is simple. Some great shows on television affected more of the same and the results were great spin-offs. I'm not looking for Law and Order Miami, New York, etc. just some of the originals shows that held up and arguably now are still as good as anything on the tube today since the 90's.

That's him. Erroneously quoted in Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks). But in actuality it was astronaut Jim Swigart who said "OK Houston, we've had a problem here".

Not including animated or reality tv or talk shows name four of the top five television series to produce the most spin offs? So like, the show "Pawn Stars" has produced three spin offs. Cajun Pawn Stars, American Restoration, and Counting Cars. OK. I think it's going to be kind of easy for you guys to come up with this. So that's why I am asking for four of the top five.

I knew the song was from Grease but the name escaped me. Is it Summer Nights by Olivia Newton John or both ONJ and John Travolta?

I am? Let me get this straight. My answer on 10/28/17 was correct. Now on 12/6/17 I'm just finding out about it. Is that right?

Matthew Broderick's character's name was Philippe Gaston. I should know. I'm from a town in Oregon called Gaston.

"Steven Seagal"

Not to get to far away from our point but, I think Marisa Tomei is a wonderful actress and her performance is what brought her the Academy Award. Anna Paquin also received an Oscar for The Piano when she was only 11 yr.old. Hollywood and audiences both alike love a fresh new face on the big screen. Anyway, I'm getting away from the topic.

Yes I do. Yes I do. Yes I do.

Oh, I get it now. I've never heard about that thread here before. I have heard of that Allen movie Bananas. Don't think that I have ever seen it though.

Well I was sort of using the reply by Raf, (the picture of Chris Evans as Capt. Marvel?) as being encryptic (come on Raf, you know that's how you are) and as a way to insert my disdain about my having to keep logging in over and over and over. I never log out it's just that I can't stay logged in. If I browse another site for 5 or 10 minutes I am automatically logged out again. Everytime I try to log-in I am told that my username and password are incorrect (Of course they aren't). I never used to log out ever and for the past year or more I can't re-log into greasespot anymore unless I try the "forgot the password" tab because I can't log in directly. So enough of my problems WordWolf is up.

Encryption? Why doesn't greasespot have an HTPPS:// address Raf? I have to go to "forgot my password" every time I want to log in and then retrieve it from my email and then change my password. As long as we're talking encryption anyway.

This then is the "bananas" thing on the characters thread that I just viewed a while ago. How was that related to me George? WordWolf? I have never heard of "Bananas"!

First of all George I have no single idea what you are talking about. Secondly, it's your clue up on the boards now, and I don't have a clue what it is. Thirdly, in response to WW's answer if that is his way of moving this thread along I'm all for it.

That still doesn't answer my question Grace, where have all the good actors gone? By the way, good for you that you don't have a tv. I could do it too, but, I have a family who loves tv and spends most of their day there. I could follow shows on the world wide web and drop cable but my wife and kid wouldn't go for it. I do like some tv shows. Not the classics (they're good too) but I'm into the edgy satirical shows like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" (twisted shows, I think some are quite good) "Portlandia", "A Handmaid's Tale". I haven't seen Handmaid's tale yet. I may have to soon rent the first season. But, this is an excellent segue back to the topic of this thread. The actress Elisabeth Moss won a tv award I forget what they are called right now (Grammy, maybe), but I think she is an excellent actress and her career is only just starting really. I thought she brought the strongest role to the series "Mad Men" which I happen to be particularly very fond of. She's very talented. I also think another "Mad Men" cast star is a very good actress too, Christina Hendricks. She's kind of a Rita Hayworth type, she is a natural red head and tries to exploit that and she can act as well.

"Young Frankenstein" could be included in that list. Some of my favorite movies come from the 80's or 90's. "Goodfellas", "Silence of the Lambs", "Sense and Sensibility","Good Will Hunting" , "Pulp Fiction", "Rain Man", "American Beauty","Leon: The Professional", "Jerry Maguire", those are some of my favorites.

That's the character George. Lestat de Lioncourt. When the writer heard that Tom Cruise was cast for the movie she publicly went on record to say she thought that he couldn't do the character of Lestat justice. After she saw the movie she sent Tom an apology letter. Here's the scene from Interview With a Vampire. YOU'RE UP!

"Listen, Louis. There's life in these old hands yet. Not quite Furioso. Moderato? Cantabile, perhaps. Ask the alligator. His blood helped. Then on the diet of the blood of snakes, toads, and all the putrid life of the Mississippi, slowly, Lestat became something of himself again".

Return is a chick movie and probably no one has seen it here that plays anyway. So, Beethoven.
