  1. Oh, good Lord. Quantum Leap FREE POST George
  2. The Blues Brothers "Is she with you?" "I thought she was with you." George
  3. Beryl. Not a good track, though wind shear and Saharan dust may knock it out before it hits the US. George
  4. It's another name for a caveman. It was an oddball hit in the early 70s. George
  5. I'm not sure that the Daniel Craig Bond actually drinks martinis. Don't know if David Niven did, either. I do believe this (part of) a line was used in multiple Bond films, though, so you may be right. I'd have gone with an earlier one, Like Goldfinger or Dr. No. George
  6. Neither. I imagine that this show is regarded as science fiction, though it was more of a drama. George
  7. "Rufus, Brint, and Meekus were like brothers to me. And when I say brother, I don't mean, like, an actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it. Which is more meaningful I think." "I wasn't like every other kid, you know, who dreams about being an astronaut, I was always more interested in what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere's a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I'm selling? No. Do I know what I'm doing today? No. But I'm here, and I'm gonna give it my best shot." "There was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, "Wow, I could really spend the rest of my life with this woman"." George
  8. I am. "Oh, Boy." George (Note: I'm sure that phrase probably has shown up in almost every TV show, at one time or another; but it ppeared in EVERY episode of the show I have in mind.)
  9. Is (B) "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader"? I know I've seen (C), but that was 15 years ago, George
  10. Assuming that's it, it's another song I heard countless times without ever listening to the lyrics. George
  11. It's kind of funny. Probably because I was a big JLA fan, I liked Sekowsky's work. It's funny how much impact an inker can have. With Bernard Sachs or Sid Greene, it was rather pleasant. When George Roussos started inking Sekowski, it was AWFUL. There were two or three JLA issues like that before Dick Dillin took over the penciling. I can't remember who did the inking on Sekowsky's GL and WW runs. But I digress. WW is up. George
  12. Actually, that quote was from International Man of Mystery, but go ahead. George
  13. Independence Day Brent Spiner The Great Outdoors George
  14. Gunsmoke is correct. A lot of interesting info about James Arness. George
  15. It's a Wonderful Life "Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later?" George
  16. I'll give it to you for Aparo (He also did Aquaman, the Teen Titans, and the Spectre.) Ross Andru was probably best remembered for his work on Wonder Woman in the 60's and early 70's. Joe Kubert did Hawkman and Sgt. Rock. Ramona Fradon did Aquaman. She just died recently. Maybe the last of the "old guard." Nick Cardy did the Teen Titans. Mike Sekowsky was the Justice League artist from the late 50's to the early 70's. He also had a run on Green Lantern and was the artist on the horrendous "karate chick" Wonder Woman of the mid 70's. You're up! George
  17. I edited a clue just for you, WW! I suppose if it were translated more accurately, it would have been "El Humo del Revólver." George
  18. Dodgeball Rip Torn Men in Black George
  19. Getting closer. The star received his draft notice in 1943, and trained at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, before shipping out for North Africa. He was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division in time for the invasion of Anzio. Ten days after the invasion, he was severely wounded in the leg and foot by machine gun fire. He lost part of his foot, and received a medical discharge from the Army. When shooting movies or television shows, any scenes that required extensive walking would be shot early in the morning, before his feet and knees started giving out. For his service, he received: a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze campaign stars, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. The star was the only actor to appear in every episode. One other actor missed only thirty episodes, six while he was recovering from a heart attack. The show was slated to be cancelled in 1967 due to low ratings, but CBS President William Paley, who was a big fan, reversed the decision. He moved the show from Saturdays to Mondays (cancelling Gilligan's Island in the process), placing it back in the Nielsen's Top Ten. Though the show went many seasons, the star only kissed a woman once during its run. In Spanish-speaking countries, the series is known as La Ley del Revólver. I suppose if it were translated more accurately, it would have been "El Humo del Revólver." The star was reluctant to take the role, fearing it would hurt his movie career. His good friend John Wayne convinced him to take the part. Wayne also gave the intro to the first episode. George
  20. I don't think Kubert ever did Batman. He did do a different Justice Leaguer and a major character in a different genre. Correct on Infantino, Swan, and Kane. (I would have accepted The Atom for Kane, as well.) I'll add a couple more artists. You still need one more to win. Ross Andru Jim Aparo George
