Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man George

A la WordWolf, only this time the category is rock and roll shows. None of these shows had the longevity of American Bandstand, but most had pretty good audiences. Identify one, correctly, to take the round. (I personally remember watching three of these shows.) Hosted by LA local Gene Weeds, this show was frequented more by girl groups than the other shows. Also notable was a young (obviously) Teri Garr as one of the dancers. This Dick Clark show was different in that the locations were all outside: beaches, parks, etc. It featured a lot of the heavy hitters of the day: The Byrds, The Who, The Shangri-Las, James Brown, Bobby Rydell, The Zombies, Dusty Springfield, Marvin Gaye, the Kinks. The "house band" was Paul Revere and the Raiders. NBC's entry into the field had a bigger budget. That meant nifty prop sets (like, say, The Mamas and the Papas singing amidst a bunch of bathtubs and pipes) and a rotation of celebrity guests to handling the hosting, acts like Sammy Davis, Jr. and Petula Clark. The show was filmed at 30 Rock studio 8H -- later home to Saturday Night Live. This ABC show had later luminaries Glen Campbell, Billy Preston, and Leon Russell in the house band. There were a number of Beatles appearances and the only televised version of Little Eva performing "Locomotion." George

Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody" (That was worth two.) George

Joan Cusack Working Girl Melanie Griffith George

Haven't watched any HP movies, but I think that in this one was Alan Rickman Die Hard Bonnie Bedelia George

No. When I was married, we watched a few shows (Beat BF, Dinner impossible, Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives and a couple of others.) Not really my thing, though I did just see an episode of DD&D. Feel free to enlighten us. George

Stripes John Larroquette Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock George

This film was originally shot as a short entitled 'The Sitter.' However after the huge success of "Halloween", the screenwriter saw the potential of expanding the short into a full-length feature. The opening 12 minutes of "Scream" (and parts of "Scream" parodied in "Scary Movie") was an homage to the first 20 minutes of this film. George

I think I've actually seen (C): "Beat Bobby Flay"? George

Fair enough. Simple. Good family values. If you need a lot of action or suspense, probably not for you. George

Clue Colleen Camp Police Academy 2 George

So how would he know what the insignia was, on his uniform? George

Interesting. I know Clancy from a lot of TV shows, but I can't think of a movie featuring him. George

Ah. Another popular show which I never watched. George

I'm guessing she went blind, but the show still isn't clicking with me. George

Shanghai Surprise Sean Penn The Game George

I remember the story (I think it was an issue of "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps") where Katma Tui is sent to recruit a new member whose planet is in total darkness. Without light, the species had no concept of "light" "lantern" or "green" (or, for that matter, "black" or "night"). She had to give him the power ring in terms he could understand, which were auditory. New one soon. George

I do not recognize it. George

Billy Bob Thornton Monster's Ball Peter Boyle George

"Green Lantern" (with F-sharp bell)? George

Wild guess: Dynasty? (Based mostly on the villainous female.) George

It hit me this morning on the way to work. I was hoping it hadn't been answered yet. Oh, well. Apparently, after five seasons, they decided that there were no more stories to be told, and closed up shop. Not like today's shows, which often linger long past their "expiration dates." George

I can think of a few b&w shows which were popular, but not one that ran only five seasons. George

Jennifer Connelly The Rocketeer Alan Arkin George

I had though of "Black Magic Woman" and "Witchy Woman"; but, like "Love Potion #9," I knew they weren't right. I may have heard "Devil Woman" at some point, but I don't remember it. Your new song also seems familiar, but not enough for me to hazard a guess. AFAIK, the "three day" waiting period for googling is only for getting an answer, so the game can move on (like a name in Triple Movie Links). If someone has no intent to answer the puzzle, he can google at any time. WW was certain that he could not answer the last song clue, so he looked it up for his own information. Had he looked it up and then gave the answer, THAT would have been a high crime or misdemeanor. George
