All Activity

Given my propensity to vanish, I will yield to you on the basis that you WOULD have gotten it. :)

I actually would have gotten it from your penultimate post. Harley Quinn definitely has cussing and violence, but being a cartoon, based on a comic book (which was based on a prior cartoon), one might have expected it to be a kids' show. George

Ok, I'll go. Knock knock knock... Penny. Played by Kaley Cuoco, who is most certainly NOT Margot Robbie (though she is a cutie pie in her own right). They do have the distinction of playing one Harley Quinn. Cuoco in an animated series, which one would predict could flourish in a lockdown environment because the actors don't need to be anywhere near each other.

I tried. So close yet so far away, George. I wasn't pointing you to a particular program as I was to a particular...

That sounds like Sheldon Cooper. "Young Sheldon" fits some of the clues (title character not played by Jim Parsons), but there was no violence or cursing, and the only main actor well-known before the show was Annie Potts (though minor characters were played by Ed Begley, Wallace Shawn, Craig Nelson, etc.).

Knock knock knock

Sounds like "Doom Patrol," except that that has no "title character." Based on a comic book, but not a kids' show. Lots of cussing and violence. Stars include Timothy Dalton, Brendan Fraser, Alan Tudyk. Started in 2019. George

This show, AFAIK, is still an ongoing show (if not, it ended in the past year and I never noticed.) It began during the Covid shuffle. For those of you who forgot, nearly every show currently being produced ended abruptly when that happened. A handful of shows were able to resume soon after. A few isolated EVERYBODY somewhere, so the entire show was self-contained. A few ran with only 1 or 2 people filming them, sometimes with their family, so we met Stephen Colbert's wife and kids and so on (with other people in separate scenes, like the band not at the same location.) A few shows figured out how to continue with isolation protocols in place- so "Guy's Grocery Games" had Food Network people as contestants and judges, working out of their own kitchens, in a season I actually liked. A few new shows began where the motif of people participating on screen was what drove the show. A few game shows kept all the contestants 2 meters apart from everyone. HOWEVER, one genre of show had the potential to prosper, even explode, during that time- especially since demand for content had exploded with so many people at home around the world, interested in content. This show was one of them, and began at that time. The unobservant might think it was for kids- but there's a lot of swearing and bloody violence, and a body county on the show. It's continued for several years since then. It's actually had a spinoff of a character who was almost comedy relief. There is a title character, but they're not played by the actor most commonly associated with this character. A large number of supporting characters appear. Some have appeared in lots of shows before. Some have never appeared in shows before. Strictly speaking, this show began to air before the lock downs, but viewings took off when they began. Of the main cast, at least 3 of the 6 are well known for playing well known characters in other franchises. All of the main characters were existing characters prior to the show's premiere.

"It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder. You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older. But the meteor men beg to differ, judging by the hole in the satellite picture. The ice we skate is gettin' pretty thin. The water's gettin' warm so you might as well swim. My world's on fire, how 'bout yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored." "Somebody once asked 'Could I spare some change for gas, I need to get myself away from this place.' I said 'Yep, what a concept! I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little change."

"Whenever we kiss, I get to feeling like this. I get to wishing that there was two of you. My heart cries out, "More, baby!" It feels so nice, I want your arms to wrap around me twice."

"Out of order, I show you out of order. You don't know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I'd show you, but I'm too old, I'm too tired, I'm too f*in' blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this place!"

Sí, y no. Quizás. It's inconsistent. Sometimes the title is rendered "Vaselina," and sometimes it's "Grease." Sometimes the name is a transliteration or almost so, and other times, the name varies by a lot. But even when dubbing, musical numbers are left intact. Subtitles may be added, but the audio remains.

Guesses: Teddy Roosevelt, Coolidge, Hoover, Reagan? George

Well scratch that then, Martin Scorsese directed "No Direction Home" and ~The Killer's video directed by Tim Burton. Four U.S presidents were cheerleaders in their respective colleges before becoming the most powerful men in the world. Too be fair three of the former presidents cheered for their teams back in the early 20th century. Name two or three?

Vaselina es la palabra? George

yes

Thanks for your input and insight, Allan. Obviously we are going to disagree on the big picture, so no need to rehash. My only other thoughts: Zephaniah 3:9 doesn't even remotely hint at S.I.T. Neither does Isaiah 65:8. Like, remotely.

What seven languages do you speak? Yeah, I know it's a bit off-topic. Just curious.

From a practical point of view, I could not s.i.t. before I was shown 'how to'.....then I could....I now show others how to'....I've been present at s.i.t. by new believers (a couple of who were 'gay as' and witnessed some supernatural happenings at the time...guess God is no respecter of persons huh ! As someone who speaks 7 differnt languages i've heard people s.i.t. a mixture and mish mash of some of those 'human languages' in the same utterance....kind of makes sense if it purports to confound the devil :) From a Biblical pov, s.i.t. is alluded to in OT and NT ...Zephaniah 3:9 and Isaiah 65:8 are a couple that spring to mind.

Jimmie Carter of course the only Peace Prize recipient to receive the Nobel while not being a sitting president. Who directed the 2005 documentary "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan? Or, Who directed ~The Killers~ music video "Bones" in 2006? Get one and take the round.

A play on words perhaps WordWolf? Okay, he is real. Then, no.

Just a little side note: I had an opportunity to see them in a local music venue about 15 or 20 years ago. It was a weeknight and I had to work early the next day. I passed it up. Friends of mine caught the show and said it was one of the best live shows they had ever seen. And they had been to a LOT of shows. Ya just never know. OK, back to the thread.

How about "Kal Penn"??????
