  1. If I haven't seen it, I MUST have heard of it. Robin and Marian? George
  2. One would think that that's enough, but I still need more... George
  3. "I just learned something very interesting." "'Pinocchio.' You risked our lives based on something you read in a children's book?" "Wait, it's a book? How about that? I got it from a movie." "I will return to you when it's safe. One day, right here, at sunrise, we'll be together again." "Nothing." "Of course it's not working. It's been sitting here gathering dust since before the Sahara was a desert!" "Before the Sahara was a desert... You do your best thinking when you're not thinking at all. Hold still. We need water. You're the closest source." "Show-off. I could've just peed on it." "My obligation isn't to love; it's to my family and my nation, and I've turned my back on both. Sometimes we have to do what's right, even if our heart aches against it." George
  4. Another Easter Egg from the Night Court sequel: We all know Melissa Rauch is the star, playing Harry Anderson's daughter as the new Night Court judge. At the end of the last episode of Season 2, Simon Helberg shows up, claiming to be her husband. Unfortunately, the show has been cancelled, so we'll never see how this twist was supposed to develop. George
  5. Addams Family "Good night, John Boy." George
  6. When viewed from their north poles, most of the planets in our solar system rotate counterclockwise. Which two rotate clockwise? George
  7. OK, how about FDR? Seems unlikely, but we've ruled out almost everyone in the first half of the 20th century. George
  8. I could see GW Bush as a cheerleader, but Human said that Reagan was one and [the other] three were in the early 20th Century. George
  9. The original title for this series was "Please Stand By," but because the Cuban Missile Crisis had happened less than a year earlier, executives thought it might make people fearful of an air raid. As a reference to this, when this show would cut to a commercial, the Control Voice said, "Please stand by." When the series finale, The Probe (1965), was originally aired, a live announcer spoke over the Control Voice's closing statement about returning "next week at this same time." The live announcer stated that The King Family Show would be seen "next week in this time period." The regular Control Voice closing for The Probe (1965) was heard only in re-runs. Gene Roddenberry was a big fan of the series, being a regular visitor to the set. He would use many of the crew, cast, costumes, and props on Star Trek. George
  10. "Granny, why are you making soap in the cement pond? We can buy it at the store!" "Store-bought soap? STORE-BOUGHT SOAP?? How long do you think 64 million dollars will last if we use STORE-BOUGHT SOAP??" George
  11. Early 20th century would probably limit the selection to Teddy Roosevelt to FDR. I think we can rule out Taft. Having already eliminated TR, Coolidge, and Hoover, let's try Harding and Wilson? George
  12. I suppose it should have been obvious that cartoons would be as easy to make in a pandemic as without one, but it didn't really occur to me. And, uh, I hope you had a feliz cumpleanos. George
  13. "Did you ever kill anybody?" "Yes, but they were all bad." George
  14. I actually would have gotten it from your penultimate post. Harley Quinn definitely has cussing and violence, but being a cartoon, based on a comic book (which was based on a prior cartoon), one might have expected it to be a kids' show. George
