  2. The Brady Bunch? Zoom meetings often resembled the opening of the show. George
  3. There was a song "Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight,: but I don't think that's what you mean here. This seems to be a song REFERENCING that song, and I have no idea what it is. George
  4. One of the answers to my clues is the player "Jimmie Duggan" was patterned after. Probably would have hit 600 homers if he hadn't kneecapped himself by drinking. Players' initials: J.F. and M.O. If no one still gets it, I'll give it up for a free post. George

  6. These are names which you would probably recall if you heard them, but may not be in the forefront of your minds. One played his entire 22-year career with the New York Giants. The other started as a Philadelphia Athletic, moved with the team to Kansas City, then returned to Philadelphia to finish his career with the Phillies. Name ONE to win the round. George
  7. Flash's final episode is next week. George
  8. Indeed it was! I started with some of his earliest roles and only got to the mid 1940s, so far. You're up. George
  9. Correct. None of the stars were particularly strong swimmers. Pamela Anderson said she hated the water. Anderson also starred in "Stacked" and "V.I.P." George
  10. I suspect that I'm the only one watching Riverdale. Except for the first episode this season, which tried to bridge the previous, we're-all-now-ten-years-out-of-high-school-in-2020 season to the current, we're-all-now-in-high-school-in-the-1950s season, the show has been pretty faithful to the comics (although not as funny). I especially enjoy hearing "Golly!" and "Gee whiz!" instead of all the cussing so prevalent today. One cute story line has Jughead writing comic books and collaborating with his hero "Brad Raybury," author of "The Jupiter Journals." Sexual mores of the time are examined realistically (IMHO). Kevin's and Toni's dealing with their homosexuality is also believable. (Of course, to make things more taboo, both are in interracial relationships.) Noticeably absent from the group was Reggie Mantle, until this past episode. His purpose seems to be the focus of anti-Asian bigotry, which was indeed a problem in the 50s. If you were (are?) a fan of the Archie comics, I recommend watching at least this season, which will be the final one. George
  11. This was the longest-running show to never win an Emmy until Supernatural (2005). After its California run, the show was going to move to Australia. Due to severe backlash from Australians, the show moved to Hawaii. Neve Campbell auditioned for the series but the casting director turned her down because he thought she was too pale. Alicia Silverstone, Teri Hatcher, and Denise Richards were also passed over for roles. The show depicts people of a certain profession requiring a particular skill. None of the actors were particularly proficient in that skill. One of the stars later starred in series about a bookstore and a protection agency. George

  14. Cobb had a lot of hits, but only 117 HR. Lou Gehrig finished with 493. Mays hit his 500th in 1965. The two I'm referring to hit their 500th home runs in the 1940s. Both are (obviously) in the Hall of Fame. Neither hit more than 550. One of them was an inspiration for a main character in "A League of Their Own." George
  15. Babe Ruth's 714 career homers (ending in 1935) is even more amazing when you consider that only two other players reached the 500-homer level before 1960. Name them. George
  16. Denzel Washington Glory Cary Elwes George
  17. Ursula Andress Dr. No Sean Connery George
  18. Redrock, I'm glad you took your "reproof" in the intent it was given. We're always looking for more players in "the game room." Welcome, George
