  1. It is. The Mary Tyler Moore "reunion" movie excluded Phyllis, so Cloris Leachman actually picketed the production. She won a Best Supporting Actress award for "The Last Picture Show" and played Granny in the Beverly Hillbillies movie. Phyllis's husband, Lars, was never seen. George
  2. I always think of that as the title. I can't remember the real one. Space Oddity? George
  3. Nathan Lane The Birdcage Robin Williams George
  4. Pat Boone covered a number of Little Richard tunes. Far less scary for suburban housewives. "Bohemian Rhapsody" "When the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with Mars..." George
  5. Raquel Welch Mother, Jugs, and Speed Harvey Keitel George
  6. The star of this show won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar before this show appeared (though not before she first played this character -- yes, it's a spin-off). The star also appeared in a movie version of a different (and somewhat earlier) sitcom, playing a much older character. The backstory of the spinoff is that the character's oft-mentioned but never seen husband dies, so she moved in with her mother-in-law to start a new life. (?) The original show had three spinoffs: two comedies and a drama. This is one of the comedies. A TV Movie was produced and aired in 2000, featuring two main characters but nobody else from the original show. The star of THIS show was offended that she was not invited to participate in any way; and she picketed the production during shooting days. Barbara Colby played Julie Erskine in the first three episodes of the series. She and her friend James Kiernan were murdered on July 24, 1975, not long the episode "Up for Grabs" was filmed. The crime remains unsolved. George
  7. Brainiac 5 continues to use movie references. Last week it was "Ghostbusters" (the "perfect movie," according to Brainy); this week it's "Back to the Future," as he a Nia go back to Kara and Alex's past. The actresses portraying the younger Kara, Alex, and Cat Grant are amazing likenesses. I almost thought they were digitally de-aged (as per Kurt Russell in Guardians of the Galaxy 2). George
  8. I'm surprised you didn't go with Pat Boone. I don't think the performer is required in this thread, so go ahead! George
  9. I'm Henry the 8th by Herman's Hermits. I guess we can try this again... Wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom! George
  10. Kevin Hart? (That's whom I meant before.) George
  11. You're not limited to quotes in this thread... George

  13. LotR Fellowship of the Ring Christopher Lee Hannie Caulder George
  14. Carrie Fisher Amazon Women on the Moon Robert Picardo George
  15. Correct. A number of groups performed it. I remember it was a one-hit for The Shadows of Knight. It was, however, written by Van Morrison for his band, Them. You're up. George
  16. It was a famous movie, but I guess there's only one other actress you'd recognize. Sandra Oh Dancing at the Blue Iguana Daryl Hannah George
  17. I haven't heard the term used on the show, but my TV listing refers to Supergirl's team as the Super Friends. George
  18. Batman v Superman Diane Lane Under the Tuscan Sun George
  19. So, is this a different actor? If so, who was the other one? George
