"In Living Color"? George

"Babylon 5" is correct. Babylon 5 was essentially a space United Nations, where Minbari, Centauri, Narn, Vorlons, and Humans (among others) basically tried not to kill each other and eventually band together against "the Shadows." The CGI was state-of-the-art at the time. The last season seemed more of an afterthought, but it was well-written and well-acted. It was often compared with (also well-written and -acted) Deep Space 9, although the only real ties were that both occured in space and had integers lower than 10 in their titles. You're up, Wolfie!

My hard drive crashed, and I had to send it away to have the data recovered. Costing me $2000. Great ad for Carbonite! The movie is "The Natural." "Gus Sands" (Darrin McGavin) bets "Roy Hobbs" (Robert Redford) that he can't strike out "the Whammer" (Joe Don Baker) on three pitches, but he does. Sands has Hobbs shot later. FREE POST George

I can't find this quote online, so I might not have it exactly. But it's a famous film, and the line should be recognizable to someone who's seen it. I once lost a hundred bucks on three pitches. Got even with the guy, later, though. George PS My home computer is out of business for a while, so I won't be posting on weekends.

I'll have to give this one some thought. Sadly, though, it's gotten to the point that I don't WANT to "win" in this thread, because it's so hard to come up with new ones. :) George

Well, vampires. But I haven't seen this one (or anhy of the Twilight series, for that matter...) George

"Popeye"? George

Robert Redford The Natural Glenn Close George

Not getting it (at least, from those lines)... George

I've been out for a while, but you are correct, Freelancer. Give us the first line of a new song! George

Googling to move it along... Daddy Day Care Eddie Murphy Tower Heist George

The show was often compared with one of the Star Trek series, which debuted about the same time. George

I'm thinking, "Uncle Buck"? George

Okay. I don't recognize the quote. George

I'll go. Minbari Vorlons Narn Centauri Humans George

"Count Duckula" and "Groovie Ghoulies" ring a bell, though I don't think I ever watched them. And Raf did mention "Dark Shadows." "Supernatural" routinely features vampires, especially the "alpha vampire," though they wouldn't be considered stars of the show. I'm out. George

No. I just googled "vampire" "cop" "show" and found "Forever Knight," which is the one I had in mind. I can't think of any vampire cartoons off the top of my head, unless Count Chockula got his own series. I know Casper featured Wendy the witch; maybe there was a vampire, too? I seem to remember a Frankenstein monster cartoon, where the monster was supposed to get "one drop of nice" but got a whole bottle, instead. He might have had a vampire friend. Batfink was a bat, but not a vampire. George

Five come to mind immediately: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel The Vampire Diaries The Munsters and a show whose name I can't think of right now starring a vampire cop (I think "Night" was in the title) Let's see what others turn up. George

Then there was this line from the "Dragnet" movie with DAn Aykroyd: The story you are about to see is true; the names have been changed to protect the innocent. For example: George Baker is now called "Sylvia Wiss." WW, why don't you go? George

The first is, of course, "Dragnet." I'm not sure about the second. George

No. And I'll be offline for the next few days. "Urban Cowboy" FREE POST George

Kim Basinger My Stepmother is an Alien Dan Aykroyd George

Sounds familiar, but I can't place it. George

It is, of course, "Third Rock from the Sun" I don't remembere if I've already used this, but They're altogether "ooky"... George I'll be out of pocket for a few days, so feel free to go ahead if you know this one.

Let's not forget John Lithgow... ;) George
