Name that TV Show [EZ quotes only]

[WordWolf]

Thing is,

with both "Andromeda"

and "Earth:the Final Conflict"

(I seem to have a psychological blind-spot on recalling these 2),

I followed a simple logic.

Gene Roddenberry, the Great Bird of the Galaxy, was nearly worshipped among

some Trekkies. If he had a competent SF concept to release, it would have

an automatic audience. (Well, it would for sure once ST:TNG was proven, and

points thereafter.) So, if Roddenberry had ideas for shows, and never followed up

on them, to me, that says he wasn't confident they were worth airing.

And if the writer is not confident they are worth airing, then I certainly am

not confident they are worth WATCHING.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I only watched a couple of episodes of Earth: Final Conflict and never got into it. I did enjoy Andromeda, though.

"Well did you know it was a secret?"

"Yes."

"Oh sure, what's the fun of telling something if it's not a secret?"

[GeorgeStGeorge]

That was a quote from a very famous episode of the show, but THIS should give it away:

"Rob!"

"Buddy!"

"Sally!"

"Mel!"

"ROB!!"

"BUDDY!!"

"SALLY!!"

"MEL!!"

George

[Ca_dreaming]

Dick Van Dyke Show!

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Of course.

The first quote was Rob asking Laura why she told about Allan's toupe in an interview.

The second was the usual merry-go-round when Buddy would make a baldie joke about Mel.

"If Mother wanted to ruin the party, it would be raining in the living room."

[Tom Strange]

I'd guess a show with an Uncle Arthur in it...

[GeorgeStGeorge]

And perhaps Dr. Bombay...

George

(Unless of course someone is being sneaky. Wasn't "Tabitha" a short-lived show, as well?)

[WordWolf]

And Sergeant York was in it, maybe.

(Not Sergeant York, but it was something like that.)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Perhaps Dick Sargent and Dick York...

George

[Ca_dreaming]

Okay folks, as you stated George this is not the Nostalic thread, so have at it, Tom.

[Tom Strange]

Is "don't be so hard on the beaver" a real line?

[hiway29]

I don't know if that phrase verbatim was ever said, but certainly many variations on it.

They seemed to be oblivious to the sexual innuendos. He would have been called 'gopher' or something if they were worried about it.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

OK, Tom, how about a real clue. Just to prove you can. :)

George

[Tom Strange]

you mean that one doesn't count??? OK... let me think...

how about (forgive the spelling)... "mecka lecka hi, mecka lecka hiney ho!"

...or something like that...

[hiway29]

"Pee Wee's Playhouse"

that would make it my turn, then.I'll get to it a little later.

[hiway29]

"you helped us all in many ways"

"you got inside our heads"

"and that is why we'd like to say"

"Mr Gianelli's DEAD!"

"well, THAT rhymes"

[WordWolf]

Wild guess.

Was this the musical episode of "Buffy"?

[hiway29]

no-the 'give away' clue, is that college students had a popular drinking game while watching it.

[pawnbroker]

The Bob Newhart Show

everytime someone said Bob you had to drink

Hi Bob...and you had to guzzle!!

[hiway29]

that's it pawnbroker

the quote was from the episode where Bob's patients are giving him a verbal thanbk you card,but Mr Gianelli didn't show up, with the last line. They read it anyway , and the sec bursts in to announce his death right on cue

not the best example, but it came to mind.

and you drank when someone said "Hi Bob", which was usually good for several beers per episode

[pawnbroker]

Crazy for @@@@, or crazy for ordinary people?

[pawnbroker]

Well, I'm your Vitavigavegivat Girl

[waysider]

I Love(hic!) Lucy.

Somebody take my turn.(that's not a clue.)

[WordWolf]

I'll run the next one, then.

"She's too busy getting hold of the Husbands."

"How many husbands are there?"

"Six."

"Six?"

"One of the Husbands is a girl."

"One of the husbands is a girl?"

"Yes. That's Murray Husband.

Then there is, uh, Donny Husband...."
