Actually, it was the names Kaylee and Wash, along with the "no saying grace out loud" line that gave it away. I thought it was a terrific show (and, yes, it was supposed to be a "space Western"). It was relegated to Friday night, though, which seems to be a death sentence for any sci-fi show (except for shows on SyFy, ironically). Moving "Dollhouse" to Friday doesn't bode well for this Joss Whedon show; and "Smallville" may be on the way out, too. :( I'll post new clues later today. George

"Firefly." George

"Deadwood"? George

The last exchange sounds like Rom and Quark, so I'd guess DS9, but which episode? George

Yeah, Ron. Nuke a liberal or something. You deserve it! George

"The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr."? George

Indeed, Paw. Happy Birthday, and thanks for giving us the Cafe! George

But his merits are lilliputian. (Lilliputian and brobdingnagian are derived from the tiny and giant peoples, respectively, in Gulliver's Travels.) George

A man's best friend turns out to be his son. George

I saw that Mad Men episode, too. Interesting that Sterling's daughter's wedding befell the same fate as your brother's birth. I remember hearing the news of JFK's assassination while in gym class (third grade). I also remember watching some of the funeral stuff on TV, but I don't remember everything being shut down. I don't even remember my parents' responses to the news. They were staunch Republicans, but also devout Catholics. George

"Field of Dreams"? George

Is this that Tim Burton Halloween cartoon? I don't remember the title. George

Indeed it is. I avaoided using obvious clues (Tally ho) initially. Trelayne's response to the second quote would also have been obvious: "I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline; I object to power without constructive purpose." "Why, Mr. Spock, you DO have a redeeming quality, after all. You're ill-mannered!" Take it away. WW. George

I remember when I was an assistant TC in grad school. Our branch had some witnessing program going on, and when my BC asked if my TC and I were doing it, I had to admit, no, not really. He tried to help by saying it was the "heart" of the thing that mattered. To which I replied, "Heart without works is dead!" :) George

Elijah Wood Sin City Mickey Roarke George

That's the one. George

Correct. Fun show, though I didn't watch it all that often, either. George

A guy helps his ex-wife's really important boss get rid of lots of overbearing visitors. George

"Try this for a deep, dark secret: the great detective, ---- ----? He doesn't exist. I invented him. Follow. I always loved excitement, so I studied, and apprenticed, and put my name on an office. But absolutely nobody knocked down my door. A female private investigator seemed so... feminine. So I invented a superior. A decidedly MASCULINE superior. Suddenly there were cases around the block." "A killer caught by a lousy television show and a rotten commercial. There's some thing poetic about that." "Now all we need is the third man." "Well, if it isn't Orson Welles, I can't be of any immediate help." "What are you doing?" "I'll tell you what I'm *not* doing! I'm not driving in circles trying to elude people I don't know, who want to kill a nice little nebbish, for reasons I don't even understand. I'm also not about to sit in that car while Sheldon looks at me like I'm Babe Ruth and George Washington all rolled into... [into phone] "... yes, information? I'd like the number of the Central Intelligence Agency... No, that is not a residence." "Who are you?" "Just a happy go lucky tourist out to see a bit of the world." "Is that why you've got five passports, from five different countries, in five different names?" "Kept trying for a good picture." George

"I must say, they make a perfectly exquisite display pair... but I suppose you want them back, now." "I object to you. I object to intellect without discipline; I object to power without constructive purpose." George

It's clearly one of the Moriarty episodes of NG. I believe it's the first, but I don't remember the title. "Elementary, My Dear Data"? George

You really don't remember? Oh, well. The young lady was Brooke Shields Brenda Starr Timothy Dalton George

It was, indeed, CH in the original "Planet of the Apes." In a cute homage, CH recites almost exactly the same line in the remake, except he's playing the head gorilla at the time! George

Yeah, Bow, that was asked and answered months ago! How about my NEWEST post? :) George

"All the time it was... we finally really did it. [screaming] YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! OH, D--N YOU! G-----N YOU ALL TO HELL!" George P.S. I just checked. Although it was the "Dirty Harry" character who said the line, it was actually the movie "Sudden Impact."
