  1. The main character of this series left after the first season. Two characters who were initially in supporting roles eventually became the central characters. This series was a spinoff of another popular sitcom. The [eventual] producer of this series, already famous in her own right, was the sister of a star of the parent series. This series was not conceived as a spinoff. It was conceived as a fish-out-of-water comedy about someone [Meg Ryan] who became a supporting character [not Meg Ryan] when the spinoff idea took hold. When the main character of the first season departed, the aforementioned producer wanted to resume the fish-out-of-water angle. Alas, the actress [not Meg Ryan] hired for THAT role decided to leave the series. A few years later, she gave an acceptance speech at the Oscars.
  2. The second-fifth clues are DEFINITELY Batman 66. Bringing in the Sheaves is the song the marching band plays while Batman just can't get rid of the bomb. Lee Meriwether was Muss America 1955.
  3. Because it is. Not confirming. Just certain you are correct
  4. NCIS: L.A. from NCIS from JAG
  5. "Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you."
  6. "If I were dead and you were still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness. Back from the pit of hell to fight at your side." *** "Do you want to live forever?"
  7. We all know Rambo is a killing machine. In the first movie, his commanding officer told the small town sheriff hunting Rambo that he'd better have a "good supply of body bags" if they were going to send people after Rambo. But how many people does he actually kill in the first movie, First Blood?

  9. I absolutely agree. Back to the original analogy, a vaccine is injected into the healthy body. It is not sprayed in areas where the infecting virus might be. I can think of another "vaccine" that is peculiar to Wierwille, not Christianity in general. It's when he says Eve's first mistake is "considering" what the devil had to say. Man, imagine you could block off all dissent by making it a fundamental error to even CONSIDER that you might be wrong. Whoo-whee!
  10. No we don't. This is Alice in Wonderland, the first one with Johnny Depp.
  11. Didn't Melania Trump sing this?
  12. Upon further reflection: yeah, that IS plagiarism. Not deliberate, but still plagiarism.
  13. It should be noted that an ad hominem approach (let's refrain from my earlier use of "attack") does not necessarily imply an insult. Ad hominem simply means you're arguing the person instead of the topic. Things like, "Of course he feels that way; he's a Democrat." That's ad hominem. It does not address whether the person is correct in his thinking or incorrect, whether his position has validity or not. It dismisses his argument based on who he is, not on what he argues. Whether Paul meant to say that the natural man is unable to understand the things of the spirit or unwilling to understand the things of the spirit makes no difference in terms of ad hominem. It's ad hominem either way. Whether one is more insulting than the other, I really don't know. My reason for bringing up ability v. willingness had nothing to do with ad hominem. Rather, it had everything to do with the appropriateness/inappropriateness of the "magic decoder ring" analogy. That analogy would not apply is the issue is unwillingness. For whatever that's worth.
  14. Sean Connery Kevin Costner Taron Egerton Russell Crowe Sean Maguire Patrick Bergin
  15. This series featured neither the first nor the last portrayals of the title characters. Self explanatory The actor who played one title character recently said in today's political climate, he would never be allowed to say a line that has been associated with his character for decades. It was a peculiar claim, considering that he, in character, also never said that line (and it was never spoken in the series, though it did come close once). Dean Cain recently complained that he would not be allowed today to say "Truth, justice AND THE AMERICAN WAY." He neglected to mention that on Lois & Clark, he promised to fight for truth and justice. Jerk. On a different show, the lead actor went on to play a character you could consider the adoptive uncle of his character in this series." Dean Cain played Kara's adoptive father in Supergirl, making him Clark's adoptive uncle. Anyway, I'm actually aware of two series in which the two main characters are named in the title. The two series do NOT have the same name. I'm looking for the earlier of the two series." You figured it out "One of the shows featuring the two title characters as the title characters is currently airing. I'm looking for the other one. You figured it out Plenty of other show and movies in which only one of the title characters is a title character (the other is usually present, but not a title character)." Superman, Superman II, Man of Steel, Superman Returns, etc. Lois, not so much. "On yet another show, the lead actress went on to play the mother of her character in this series. " Teri Hatcher played Lois Lane's mom on Smallville.
  16. On yet another show, the lead actress went on to play the mother of her character in this series.
  17. Neither. Batman was not a character on either show. Not that I know of.
  18. If anyone can think of how he can get any closer without giving away the answer, I'm all ears.
