  1. Is it Bad Company's "I'm Ready for Love?????"
  2. cast includes- Paul Reubens Chaka Khan Kathleen Freeman Henry Gibson This movie had a great soundtrack- but it was NOT marketed as a musical, it's an action-comedy. This movie included some under-utilized, under-appreciated performers who were available for work. It was very smart of them to accept their offered roles, as their careers, as a whole, were jump-started when this movie hit the theaters, introducing them to new potential fans. Not many films have credits that leave out who played principal cast, but this was one of them. It was done on purpose, but didn't really change anything, since the audience knew who the 2 cast members were. Even stranger, another principal role didn't seem to have a name (although the role's actress is easy to recognize.) A number of the cast seemed to play themselves, while others definitely did not. I hope you get this soon. If not, I'll see you next Wednesday.
  3. Did I miss something? I can't find you identifying the current round. Isn't it still my turn?
  4. As for Priscilla Barnes, I thought I'd heard the name somewhere. If you've watched "Three's Company," you may recall that the "3" in the title changed. We kept Jack and Janet, but the blond went from Chrissy (Suzanne Somers) to Cindy (Jenilee Harrison) to Teri (Priscilla Barnes.) She's been in some other things, but that's how she's best remembered- as Teri. Not every actor can be remembered as having done Shakespeare. On the other hand, at least she's remembered. On the other hand. Richard Kline was in around twice the number of episodes, and I could not remember he played Larry Dallas (Jack's wingman) without help.
  5. In "Die Hard", according to imdb, Robert Davi was the taller/older of the FBI agents named Johnson. "I'm Agent Johnson, this is Special Agent Johnson." " Figure we take out the terrorists. Lose twenty, twenty-five percent of the hostages, tops."
  6. That line naming the colors sounds vaguely familiar, but I'm not coming up with anything right now.

    Goodbye!

    I don't think you're crazy. Then again, I don't think it's a problem if SOMEBODY thinks you are, only if EVERYONE thinks you are. If your journey moves you on from here on out, well, farewell until we meet again... maybe that will be soon, who knows?
  10. That's him. He did the voice of Letterman on The Electric Company, went on a "Haunted Honeymoon" as Larry Abbot, Avram Belinski was the rabbi in "The Frisco Kid", and so on.

  13. WIll either Human OR Raf just go?
  14. That's it. "Dixie" was the name Daisy Duke gave her jeep. "Daisy Dukes" were named after her, in fact, at least a decade after her. Their CB handles were used in many episodes: Shepherd- Uncle Jesse. Lost Sheep- Bo and Luke. Bo Peep- Daisy. Luke allegedly learned gliding in the Marines. Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg may have started out both as moonshiners, but Boss Hogg's branched out to politics and lots of illegal schemes since then.
  15. Without cheating, is this the Culture Club song, "Time"?

  18. No matter who was the target audience of the show, few people seem to remember "Dixie." They DO remember "Bo Peep", but rarely by that code-name. Most also forget the "Lost Sheep" and "Shepherd" by their code-names, but remember them by their actual names. (The names of the characters, not the actors, in case that wasn't clear.)No matter who was the target audience of the show, few people seem to remember "Dixie."

(The names of the characters, not the actors, in case that wasn't clear.) One character was said to have served in the Marines before this show, and somehow that's how he learned to hang-glide for an episode. Two characters- a good guy and a bad guy- may have had very similar checkered pasts, but the bad guy's still a bad guy (despite a public facade of being a respected businessman.) "Bo Peep" was particularly famous for her character's wardrobe- which gave us a phrase in popular culture in use decades after the show.
