And you would be right. The blue guy is a "Guardian of the Universe" in DC Comics (specifically, in Green Lantern). The Guardians are from the planet Oa at the center of the universe; sometimes, therefore, they are called Oans. I figured TANK and CASH would be enough for the comic-book-challenged to figure it out. TANK + OAN + CASH = "Tango and Cash." You're up again, Topper! George

"Bozo's Circus" was a very popular kids' show in Chicago. In fact, the waiting list for kids to get on was 12 YEARS, at one time. Probably best to get tickets before you were engaged! Though Larry Harmon created the character of Bozo, it was Bob Bell who portrayed him for years. Add Ringmaster Ned (Locke), Oliver O. Oliver (Ray Rayner), Sandy the Clown (Don Sandburg), and Bob Trendler leading the Big Top Orchestra, and you have the recipe for entertainment. Sure, the set was cheesy -- Bozo's "Grand Prize Game" consisted of six buckets about a foot apart and a ping-pong ball, but every kid hoped the "magic fingers" (two arrows superimposed over the screen) would pick him to play. I taped a 50-year retrospective of WGN back in 2001 (fortunately, my cable company carried WGN then). It was fascinating to see how Bell, Rayner, Frazier Thomas, and famed sportscaster Jack Brickhouse did everything on that network from the morning farm report to kids' shows to the evening news. Hiway -- did you ever watch "Garfield Goose"? George

Them's fightin' words, Hiway! Bozo ROCKED! (This of course was on WGN in Chicago, the REAL "Bozo's Circus." I understand that there were knockoffs around the country. Perhaps you had the misfortune to watch one of THEM.) George

My parents said I liked Howdy Doody, but I have no recollection of that at all. The only time I can remember seeing Buffalo Bob and Clarabelle was when they appeared on Happy Days. George

I'd prefer confirmation from Chas, but I think it's pretty clear. This one may be easier for comic-book fanatics, though I think any of you can get it: George

I had received the link from a friend who said it reminded him of me. (Well, up to the late 80's, anyway.) I thought about posting it until I saw it in the humor forum, as well. It is pretty funny! George

Pretty much, yeah. Of course, any hottie will do! George I hope this doesn't wind up appended to my answer to Dooj, but I believe Chas's puzzle depicts the classic "It's a Wonderful Life." George

I don't have another puzzle right now, so you go ahead, Dooj. Of course, I would have used Steffi Graf instead of the grate. George

I think Ron Howard and Richard Dreyfus would be pleased. George

Yes. Lee Meriwether (Miss America, "Time Tunnel," "Barnaby Jones," Catwoman in the 1966 "Batman" movie.) Puff the Magic Dragon. Faith (why not? she's cute) Ford. Go for it, Topper! George

Now, Tom, we're all adults here... George

Is she adopted? Just kidding! Congratulations! George

"Deep Throat"? George

Raf often goes missing on weekends. Could your movie be the Jerry Lewis film "The Big Mouth"? George

Well, I have to admit that that was even more entertaining than the "Bobby Kennedy" version! Ah, Jessica... Uses a Playboy spread to proclaim that "I am not a bimbo." Then, at Playboy's expense, gets $10,000 of plastic surgery, to do yet another spread. (It WAS nice work, incidentally, but I'm sure the $10,000 could have been better spent.) I seem to recall some sort of topless RADIO show she did, as well. She's not a bimbo; she's a moron. George Chas, is Mathman your husband? I'm not up on all these things.

If I'm not mistaken, Kathy's show clip was a '60's TV show with this basic idea: Mine was much nicer :-) George

Just in case Sharon isn't the only other one to see this film (and, no, it's not "Traxx"), here's another clue: Son, I know every son thinks his father is indestructible -- and I essentially am -- but you never know if the next time I fly up to smash a meteor heading toward earth, it might be me coming down in a million pieces. Think "X-Men" meets "The Breakfast Club." Sharon, feel free to give the answer. George

I have no idea what Tom was looking at. I see four A's, then this: , then a dove, an inn, then incense. I'm not sure if " " is part of a clue or if for some reason a picture isn't coming up. (The incense took a while to load, as well.) George

Actually, that was going to be my next clue (or the line you adapted, anyway)! Where have you been, Sharon? George

Okay. Here's the rest of that quote: My girlfriend became my arch-enemy; my arch-enemy became my best friend; and my best friend became my girlfriend. That's high school for you! George

I know I've heard this one a lot. Time to give my old brain a workout! George

Correctamundo. George

I admit that I'm not always up on the Academy Awards, but I THINK Raf was kidding. On the other hand, I don't have a better guess. :( George

That's the group (slightly misspelled). Name the song! George

Here's a little more: I get back to my house, hear the woman's mouth Preachin' and a cryin', tellin' me that I'm lyin' George
