  1. Correct. In the early years of the radio show, older actors portrayed the kids. Later, and during the whole TV run, the kids played themselves, sort of. George
  2. I'm afraid not. The show began as a radio series in 1944. In 1952 the show became a television series. Numerous 1950s episodes were sponsored by Hotpoint and included a prologue featuring Mary Tyler Moore as "Happy Hotpoint", a dancing pixie. Characters in this show were frequently named after the actors playing them, especially (but not exclusively) child actors. Until it was surpassed by the Simpsons in 2004, this was the longest running comedy series in American television history. The lead character was ranked #21 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" (20 June 2004 issue). After it was cancelled, the series was replaced (time slot) by "Batman." The actors were a real family, portraying a family. One of the stars became a rock and roll "teen idol." He even performed some songs on the show. George
  3. OK. It's "Troglodyte" by Jimmy Castor. The words are spoken not sung. TROGLODYTE FREE POST George
  4. It was a one-hit wonder, I think. Your Alley-Oop challenge reminded me of it. If neither Human nor Raf has an idea, I'll reveal. George
  5. Power Girl. One of the many revisions after Crisis on Infinite Earths made her not the Earth-2 Superman's cousin but a descendant of Arion of Atlantis. Then, she and Huntress were like the last two vestiges of Earth-2. I'm not sure WHAT her current origin is. George
  6. New an the Cartoon Network: DC's Super-Hero Girls. Less serious than Justice League Action, not as goofy as Teen Titans, Go! You just have to get past the premise: Kara Danvers, Barbara Gordon, Zatanna Zatara, Jessica Cruz, Karen Beecher, and Diana Prince are all students at Metropolis High.. Yes, Metropolis. And Hal Jordan is around, in some capacity. And it appears that Barry Allen is a soda jerk at "Sweet Justice." I'm a bit confused about something, though. Some sites indicate this as a new show, but IMDb says it's in its fifth season. I think it may have been licensed outside the US, first. Anyway, if you haven't already had your fill of simple-minde fun, give it a try. George
  7. Gitarzan was by Ray Stevens. And this isn't it. Here's the whole song, with the title edited out, whenever it appears.: What we're gonna do right here is go back, way back, back into time When the only people that existed were [EDIT] ...cave men... Cave women...Neanderthal...[EDIT]. Let's take the average Cave man at home, listening to his stereo. Sometimes he'd get up Try to do his thing. He'd begin to move, something like this: "Dance...dance". When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look In the mirror: "Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a Woman gotta find a woman". He'd go down to the lake where all the Woman would be swimming or washing clothes or something. He'd look He'd grab her by the hair. You can't do that today, fellas, cause It might come off. You'd have a piece of hair in your hand and she'd Be swimming away from you (ha-ha). This one woman just lay there Wet and frightened. He said: "Move...move". She got up. She was a Big woman. BIG woman. Her name was Bertha. Bertha Butt. She was one Of the Butt sisters. He didn't care. He looked up at her and said: "Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me!". She looked down on him She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him. She said (falsetto): "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy". He said: "Wha?". She said (falsetto): "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy". You know what he said? He started it way Back then. I wouldn't lie to you. When she said (falsetto) "I'll sock it to ya, Daddy" he said "Right on! Right on! Hotpants! Hotpants! Ugh...ugh...ugh" You don't need the artist's name, just the title. George
  8. Correct. Charlie Bradbury was her role on Supernatural Holly Marten was her role on Eureka. George
  9. That sounds like research, not cheating. And her last name is not Adams. It's actually shorter. George
  10. No. Apparently, Grey DeLisle only does voice acting. The one I'm clueing does both. Hint: she usually plays a spunky redhead. Probably because she IS a spunky redhead. George
  11. Not even close. Let's take the average cave man at home, listening to his stereo. Sometimes he'd get up, try to do his thing. He'd begin to move, something like this, "Dance...dance". When he got tired of dancing alone, he'd look in the mirror: "Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a woman gotta find a woman". He looked up at her and said: "Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me! " George
  12. Note: some of these characters are animated, for whom the actress provided the voice. Holly Marten Poppy Charlie Bradbury Cynder Kinga Forrester Erika Violette George

  14. I know that next year's crossover is Crisis on Infinite Earths. Maybe that's when Arrow will end. I'm still looking for a full-on Justice League, pulling Superman from the other Earth, add in GA, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Black Lightning, Black Canary, the Atom, even Batman isn't out of the question. And of course I'd love to see GL, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman. George
  15. Interesting imagery. What was your thought process in bringing it to pass? George
  16. Speaking of GA, the word is out that an abbreviated season next fall will wind up the series. George

  18. The Caine Mutiny Fred MacMurray The Absent-Minded Professor George
  19. 12 Angry Men Henry Fonda On Golden Pond George
  20. "Alley-Oop" (covered by about a dozen bands)? George
  21. This one may be a little tough, unless you watch a lot of sci-fi/fantasy TV: Holly Marten Charlie Bradbury Kinga Forrester George
