  1. 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.
  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 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. Not many films have credits that leave out who played principal cast, but this was one of them.

  4. WIll either Human OR Raf just go?
  5. 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.
  6. Without cheating, is this the Culture Club song, "Time"?

  9. 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.

  12. You might as well go. Raf will return eventually, and generally appreciates it if someone moves the thread along.
  13. Any chance this was "Scarlett Johansen"??????
  14. Let's see.... A Marvel movie that was a political thriller. Anthony Mackie (I always get his first name wrong) appearing as the Falcon. This is probably "Captain America- Winter Soldier."
  15. How about "Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio"??????
  16. Ok, next round. ============================== 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.

  19. This prequel to a very popular show (itself a re-imagining of another sci-fi show decades earlier) centers on the happenings of one planet of the Twelve Colonies of Kobal. Due to low ratings, the show was cancelled without showing the final five episodes. All episodes are available on DVD. ["Battlestar Galactica" reimagined the classic 70s show of the same name. IIRC, the prequel show was named "CAPRICA", a name of one of the 12 colonies (at least in the classic.) ] This show centers around Bo, a succubus, and all sorts of good and bad fae (werewolves, gnomes, valkyries, etc. The voice-over introduction to each episode is: "Life is hard when you don't know who you are. It's harder when you don't know what you are. My love carries a death sentence. I was lost for years, searching while hiding; only to find that I belong to a world hidden from humans. I won't hide anymore. I will live the life I choose." [That's "Lost Girl." I might watch it, if SyFy here airs it. I watched a little when it was a new show. A "lost" faerie, who was given the choice of joining either the Winter Court or Summer Court, and chose "NEITHER". Except they didn't call the courts "Winter and Summer" nor "Unseelie and Seelie", but "Light and Shadow", I think.] This series follows five people with superhuman abilities, led by noted neurologist and psychiatrist Lee Rosen (David Strathairn), as they investigate criminal cases involving other suspected super-powered people. Rosen and his team operate under the auspices of the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the criminal investigative arm of the U.S. Department of Defense. While investigating these crimes, it does not take the team too long to discover that a group known as "Red Flag", which was thought defeated and eliminated long ago, is using other super-powered people to commit crimes. Incidentally, I found out that this series had been cancelled when its cancellation was mentioned on "The Big Bang Theory." [IIRC, Sheldon was going nuts trying to find out the conclusion to "ALPHAS" and wanted another season just to resolve the story.]
  20. CORRECT. "The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence of attempts to hide, remove, or censor information, where the effort instead backfires by increasing public awareness of the information. The effect is named for American singer and actress Barbra Streisand, whose attempt in 2003 to suppress a photographer's publication of a photograph showing her clifftop residence in Malibu, California, taken to document coastal erosion in California, inadvertently drew far greater attention to the previously obscure photograph.[" "The Streisand effect is an example of psychological reactance, wherein once people are aware that some information is being kept from them, they are significantly more motivated to acquire and spread it." That's courtesy of the wikipedia page on the effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
  21. No. Does Busey actually mind if people know where he lives? Most celebrities might, but he might not.
