  1. The Flash musical also has some important Supergirl development, so it would be good to be caught up with the latter before watching the former. George
  2. Obviously, I didn't start with the easy ones. Let's add a couple more, before I throw in the giveaways. Cletus Poffenberger Captain Kruge Henry Sikorsky "Sleepy" Bill Burns Harold March Lou Russo George
  3. If Raf's as big a Helen Slater fan as I think he is, he should know the first half. There's actually a two word overlap in this one. George
  4. I may have to get Netflix. In the meantime, I actually enjoyed the Flash/Supergirl (with bits of Arrow and Legends) musical crossover! First plus: it was a musical, not an opera, so there was plenty of talking between songs. Second plus: the singing was good. I really enjoyed the Barry/Kara song-and-dance number, "Super-Friends." Third plus: Hank Henshaw in full Martian mode. I wish he had been in the BIG crossover Minus (sort of): Why is every male singer a tenor? (OK, the Joe/Martin/Malcolm trio at least had a baritone.) Minus (sort of): The villain was The Music Meister. If I'm not mistaken, his only other appearance was in a musical episode of the Batman Brave and Bold cartoon... All you laggards: Catch up!!! George
  5. Not really. It has its moments, but the characters just have no appeal. I'm still watching it, but I'd be surprised if it gets renewed. George
  6. OK. So you don't want Mon-el to be Lar Gand, for some reason. You make his DAD Lar Gand? George Yes, I realize that this may be a (very minor) spoiler to some. At least I haven't talked about Arrow's "big reveal."
  7. It's been around here a BIT longer (1.5 mo. maybe), but I take your point. George
  8. I didn't watch Buffy enough to remember. George
  9. Indeed. A thoroughly enjoyable film. George
  10. Musical episodes are one of the signs of shark-jumping. I was going to add a link to jumptheshark.com, but apparently, it's "boned the fish": http://bonethefish.com/whathappenedtoJTS/JumptheShark.php George
  11. "My name's Richard Grayson, but all the kids at the orphanage call me Dick." "Well, children can be cruel." "Wait, does Batman live in Bruce Wayne's basement?" "No, Bruce Wayne lives in Batman's attic." "You think you're my greatest enemy?" "Who else drives you to one-up them the way I do?" "Superman." "Superman's not a bad guy!" "I like to fight around." "Mr. Freeze, Penguin, Crazy Quilt, Eraser, Polka-Dot Man, Mime, Tarantula, King Tut, Orca, Killer Moth, March Harriet, Zodiac Master, Gentlemen Ghost, Clock King, Calendar Man, Kite Man, Catman, Zebra-Man, and the Condiment King!" "Okay, are you making some of those up?" "Nope, they're all real. Probably worth a Google." "Black. All important movies start with a black screen. And music. Edgy, scary music that would make a parent or studio executive nervous. And logos. Really long and dramatic logos." "What's the password?" "Iron Man sucks." "Why did you build this thing with only one seat?" "Because last I checked I only had one butt." "Were you looking at the old family pictures again?" "No, I wasn't!" "Sir, I have seen you go through similar phases in 2016 and 2012 and 2008 and 2005 and 1997 and 1995 and 1992 and 1989 and that weird one in 1966." "I have aged phenomenally!" George
  12. There were several shows in the 70's with this general idea. "Search" had three rotating private investigators. "NBC Mystery Movie of the Week" brought us Banacek, Columbo, MacMillan and Wife, and others. I'm just not getting the "publishing company" reference, nor who the particular "hottie" was. George
  13. It was a case of mistaken identity. For some reason, I thought that the first Billy Jack movie was "Walking Tall." I believe that the correct answer is "The Born Losers." George
  14. I thought the title included the Legend of Billy Jack, though that might have been a sequel. George
  15. I recognize the last two lines, but I couldn't tell you the title or artist. George
  16. Not yet, and no. This is not a live-action film. George
  17. You're sort of on the right track, but this was much more recent. George
  18. "Black. All important movies start with a black screen. And music. Edgy, scary music that would make a parent or studio executive nervous. And logos. Really long and dramatic logos." "What's the password?" "Iron Man sucks." "Why did you build this thing with only one seat?" "Because last I checked I only had one butt." "Were you looking at the old family pictures again?" "No, I wasn't!" "Sir, I have seen you go through similar phases in 2016 and 2012 and 2008 and 2005 and 1997 and 1995 and 1992 and 1989 and that weird one in 1966." "I have aged phenomenally!" George
  19. You are correct. Humorously, when the cast would come out for bows at the end of each taping, Earl Hindman ("Wilson") would always hold a small piece of fence in front of his face (with the exception of the final show). You're up, Human. George
  20. This will be far too easy, but I loved the show. Other than a couple of "so-and-so was originally slated to play [featured role]", there isn't a lot of good trivia out there on it. On episodes containing a show-within-a-show, the studio audience of the "pretend" show was the studio audience of the real show. The last US broadcast network sitcom to be videotaped. The iconic neighbor, whose whole face is never seen, was based on the star's childhood memories, where he was too short to see over the fence. George
  21. Donald Pleasance The Great Escape James Garner George
  22. Jessica Tandy Driving Miss Daisy Dan Aykroyd George
  23. Could it be "Frasier"? It was still on in 2004, and Kelsey Grammer played the role for about 20 years. However, his "ex-wife" was Lilith, who did not, as far as I know, portray a "Nanny G." Still, it's my best guess. (Maybe one of Grammer's real life exes was Nanny G?) George George
