This show was sort of a spin-off from "Hawaii 5-0," in that CBS didn't want to close its Hawaiian production offices, and so set this show there. "Hawaii 5-0" and "McGarrett" were occasionally mentioned, though not seen. One of the main characters was a British WW II veteran, played by a Texan who was a child during WW II. That same character had four illegitimate siblings, all sharing the same father but different mothers: Father Paddy McGuinness, an Irish priest; Soo Ling, a half-Chinese sister; Elmo Ziller, a rodeo owner from Texas; and Don Louis Mongueo, a royal heir to the throne of Costa De Rosa in South America.

Clearly Red Skelton. Was his show simply "The Red Skelton Show"? George

And I didn't even have to mention Joe the Bartender and Crazy Guggenheim. ;) You're up. George

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments --- scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents down by the waterhole --- drunk every Friday --- eating their nuts --- saving their raisins for Sunday. Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows --- they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows. George

"And awaaaaay we go!" George

Still a FREE POST George

Late 90s almost guarantees I won't know it, unless it was one of my stepkids' favorites. George

Stockard Channing Grease John Travolta George

"I wish I knew how to quit you." George

"Ghostbusters"? George

I caught the AJ and NC reference, but I still can't think of the movie. It's possible that human, hiway (and MAYBE rottie and Raf) are reading this. If so, they're probably in the dark as much as I am. :) George

Sorry I asked! :unsure: George

Actually, no. I always thought he had a real moustache, so I didn't think I really had the answer. It just sounded Groucho-ish. Back later with a new one. George

That's it. George

Well, EXCUUUUUUSE MEEEEE! :lol: George

Well, this movie seems to be a remade comedy that involves a lot of cars. You say it wasn't marketed as a comedy, though the lines you posted are pretty funny. I recognize some of the stars, but can't think of anything with them together. Perhaps if you gave some of the cast of the ORIGINAL.. George

"You Bet Your Life"? George

Was there a remake of "Cannonball Run"? George

I may have misread Wikipedia: Bozo was created as a character by Alan W. Livingston, who produced a children's storytelling record-album and illustrative read-along book set, the first of its kind, titled Bozo at the Circus for Capitol Records and released in October 1946. Pinto Colvig portrayed the character on this and subsequent Bozo read-along records. The albums were very popular and the character became a mascot for the record company and was later nicknamed "Bozo the Capitol Clown." Many non-Bozo Capitol children's records had a "Bozo Approved" label on the jacket. In 1948, Capitol and Livingston began setting up royalty arrangements with manufacturers and television stations for use of the Bozo character. KTTV in Los Angeles began broadcasting the first show, Bozo's Circus, in 1949 featuring Colvig as Bozo with his blue-and-red costume, oversized red hair and whiteface clown makeup on Fridays at 7:30 p.m. Apparently, Bozo was a MASCOT for Capitol Records. It's not clear if his image was actually used on the records. Chicago's "Bozo's Circus," with its high popularity and small studio, had a 12-year wait list for tickets. So, if you were already pregnant, it was too late to get your kid on the show! WW is up. George

None of this rings a bell. George

In that case, "Warehouse 13 Ghosts" FREE POST! George

Does anybody (other than me) watch shows on SyFy? ;) George

All this talk about Clutch cargo brings back another childhood memory: This children's show was, like "Romper Room," originally franchised, rather than syndicated. After about a decade, it was syndicated, with the Chicago production being the most widely distributed. The primary character was taken from old Capitol Records logos. George

OK. One of the cartoons was "Clutch Cargo," an adventurer (Clutch); his son (Spinner); and their dachshund (Paddlefoot). Rather than spend money animating faces, they simply filmed actors reciting the lines and then superimposed their lips over the cartoon faces. It was actually a pretty creepy effect. I don't know if Clutch had his own show. When I grew up in Chicago in the 60's, episodes of CC were shown on the "Garfield Goose and Friends" kids' show, in the late afternoon. I imagine I'll recognize the other "lips" cartoon when it's revealed, but I can't think of it, now. George

Ummmm.... Need more. ;) George
