  1. Kind of like how katabole means "overthrow" because of its etymology, never mind that it couldn't possibly mean that.

    A few thoughts

    Thanks again, Mr. Tucket.
  3. I shouldn't have answered. I'll be on a cruise for the next week. Will not be checking in. Free post unless you guys want to wait until my return.
  4. Leave it to Beaver And we're back!
  5. Cesar Millan is the Dog Whisperer. Yes, the show I'm alluding to is The Ghost Whisperer. James Van Praagh is one of those phony psychics in the vein of John Edwards. I figured between the guy who talks to dead people and the Dog Whisperer, SOMEone would figure this out. And I managed to avoid any reference to the lead actress' utter physical perfection. Yay, me! And you're up.
  6. Willow is correct. Warwick Davis was 17 when George Lucas, who had been toying with the idea for some time, crafted the role around him. Davis was, of course, Wicket the Ewok in Return of the Jedi. Val Kilmer got top billing in Willow. And you're up.
  7. The show, which dealt a lot with people resolving unfinished business, was cancelled before producers and writers could craft a proper farewell episode. And yes, my comment was something of a clue, but only in a cheeky way (that word is NOT a clue).
  8. If you know who Cesar Millan and Jams Van Praagh are, it's really really easy. Then again, it takes a special talent, a gift if you will, to even catch what I'm saying.
  9. Who said the show has been around for 20 years? I said he starred on the show until 2006. I said he reprised his role in 2017. I said he didn't miss a single season. In any event, the show is Will & Grace, and Jack is played by Sean Hayes, who did a stellar job as Larry Fine and as Jerry Lewis.
  10. 10-4. The show was filmed entirely on the Universal Studios back lot in Hollywood. The town square is the same central place that was used in Back to the Future and Gremlins. Among the guest stars was Cesar Millan (a cameo appearance). Among the consultants, James Van Praagh.
  11. But it leaves in Ghostbusters. Next.... The movie was written by the producer for one of the stars, who was 17 years old. The producer met the star during filming of his previous blockbuster. The movie didn't do as well as hoped, but the star did. He's been in lots of movies, and while his characters are quite different from each other, and you probably wouldn't recognize him from the vast majority of his on-camera work, you will notice that, for a very obvious and unavoidable reason, you can call his filmography an example of typecasting. The actor with the most lines, the most screen time and the title role is billed second. First: the lead supporting actor, who later married the lead supporting actress. They much later divorced.
  12. Desperately Seeking Susan Madonna Dick Tracy
  13. No. Not a whole lot on screen. He did serve as executive producer of a show you never would associate him with: Grimm.
  14. JAG Pretty sure NCIS spun off of JAG.
  15. Kermit was kind of a narrator/supporting player. Robin was the star of this special. Ok, next... The producers of this show hired 200 people to take phone calls from complaining viewers after an episode that featured a lesbian wedding. They received 11 complaints. One actress on this series occasionally her character's twin sister on another series. The two series were originally unconnected, but the producers figured they had these two characters played by the same actress... what the hell, why not make them twin sisters? The ditziest character on the show is played by an actress considered the smartest by her castmates.
  16. Kermit helps a bewitched princess... Wait, did she talk backwards? And Kermit's nephew was like the Frog Prince, only he wasn't a prince but a knight, Sir Robin the Brave? THAT special where Kermit helped a bewitched princess?
  17. Incorrect. Jack McFarlane was a character on a show in the late 90s until 2006. The same character appears on the same show from 2017 to the present. He's been a regular character, played by the same actor, in every season of the show.
