Some cities are more popular than others as settings for shows, and have had multiple series set in them. In this case, I recall 3 live-action series set in this city. The last of those shows was a little obscure (but has its own wiki.) The first of those shows was famous (but does not appear to have its own wiki.) In between those shows was a show with popularity between famous and obscure. It ran for 5 seasons. It was written as a serious show, an action drama. It didn't really cross over with any shows, but was in-continuity with at least 1 show that aired after this show ceased production. The last episode of the series was planned to be the last episode. It took place a decade after the rest of the series, and was titled "The Beginning..." The show borrowed freely from other media, but was as much inspired by them as anything else, taking plenty of dramatic license, which resulted in a better show. Despite this show using largely unknown actors, it could be argued that they used at least 3 well-known actors in recurring roles. One of those actors had been on television, and in a major movie series, (a trilogy, sorta.) The other 2, despite not having worked together previously, were both well-known from roles in well-known Science Fiction franchises (different franchises.)

That's it.

It could be argued that=despite this show using largely unknown actors- they used at least 2 well-known actors in recurring roles. (For some value of "well-known actor." At least, I knew who they were before this show, and that wasn't true of the rest of the cast, generally speaking.)

I checked earlier today, you're right about "the Nuclear Man" as the title down here.

Next one. "Ay-ay-ay-ay=ay!"

No, my son and I sat for the space of 3 episodes and hallucinated the whole thing! OK, seriously, yes. Strictly speaking it was a 3-part story on "Sanford and Son" where "Hawaii Five-O" appeared. Season 6, episodes 1-3, "The Hawaiian Connection." It's the only "Hawaii 5-0" I ever remember watching, other than the opening tune with the surfer. I liked that even when I didn't like cop shows. Oh, and Frank Nelson appeared as an airline pilot twice- when the Sanford flew to AND from Hawaii. https://sanfordandson.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hawaiian_Connection_-_Parts_I_%26_II https://sanfordandson.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hawaiian_Connection_-_Part_III

My son and I just watched the 3-part crossover of "Sanford and Son" and "HAWAII FIVE-O''. My favorite part was the recap at the beginning of parts 2 and 3. Narrator:"This is Hawaii. This is a palm tree. And this is a coconut..." *clip of Fred being stupid on the beach* etc.

If I was correct, the action figures for that series were huge- a foot tall or something, not 8-inches like the Mego ones. If I was correct, you had a foot-tall Oscar Goldman action figure? Were you a big fan of the character? *slaps forehead* "OG" for Oscar Goldman. I was thinking the slang meaning, that you were discussing an old school character. (An "original gansta.") The entire line was hard to find in stores. I imagine your family looked for Steve and only found Oscar. I think mine knew I was a big fan of the show at the time. I even had an "electro-genic arm" which I wore around. And that thing was uncomfortable because it was built so cheaply and clumsily. It was a hard semi-circle of gray plastic, plus one big decal of circuits, and a strap to hold it in place. One size fits nobody, I think. https://www.plaidstallions.com/images/tl/electrogenic.jpg

Hm. There were action figures. It was the right decade for action figures. And not all of them were made by Mego, just most of them. The show had a main character, and a spin-off. The main character was an action hero. *thinks* I'm going with "the Six Million Dollar Man." That had a spinoff- "the Bionic Woman." There were action figures of Steve Austin- I had one- and of Oscar something. (Goldman- I had to look up the cast's names.) There was also one of Maskotron. He was a robot bad guy who could be disguised as Steve or Oscar, or wear his own face. I never saw those in stores, but they were advertised on the box of the SA figure, and of the space capsule/bionics operating theater playset. I don't remember the boxes showing an action figure for the Bionic Woman.

I meant, on the album, the official title was "Baba O'Riley" because that's what was written on the cover. Thus, my usage of the past tense. No relation to the Swami Sali Maharishi Baba, or Sali Baba for short.

I was going to apologize for not being able to clear the table, but you didn't ask for that. OK, here's what I know, titles and artists.... 1) George Michael's "Careless Whisper." 2) Forgot the artist. 3) Chumbawumba's "Tub-thumping." 4) Forgot the title (we all know the artist.) 5) Tina Turner's "Proud Mary." 6) 4 Non-Blondes with "What's Up?" (To avoid confusion with Marvin Gaye's song.) 7) The Proclaimers, with "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" 8) Eric Carmen's "Make Me Lose Control". 9) No idea. 10) The Who's "Baba O'Riley". But I can't answer 2, 4, or 9, so if someone could finish clearing the table, for bragging rights?

Human, if you don't answer, I will.

That would be The Who with "Teenage Wasteland." (The official title was "Baba O'Riley".) First song on "Who's Next".

I'll call this one answered. It is the Goo Goo Dolls. This was their second hit but their BIGGEST hit, "Iris." You remember the song and its chorus well, but the title is not in the song's lyrics. I thought of "iris" as a reference to the eye, and there's mention of how the world sees him. That's my answer, and I prefer it to the official answers. The previous song was "Slide". That and "Dizzy" never seem to get much attention, but I think they're underrated, especially when "Black Balloon" and "Broadway" are off the same album ("Dizzy Up the Girl") and they get more airplay but are lesser songs in my opinion. Go, Human!

Oh, you should never doubt what nobody is sure about. It IS The Frisco Kid. Avram's misadventures included help from the Pennsylvania Dutch, being kidnapped by some nice Indians (you'll have to see that scene to do it justice, but there were 2-3 scenes with them, and resting in a monastery. For a rabbi, he spent a lot of the movie encountering people with different beliefs- and was actually helped by each of them. (Even the Indians, who had no reason to trust any Caucasians.) Avram refused to violate the Sabbath even when it could kill him. It's no shock that he graduated 77th out of 78 students in his yeshivah. Go, George!

The first exchange was Stuart and Denise. They were at the comic book store and the streets seemed oddly empty. The second was Mark Hamill, wedding officiant, stalling to buy time for Sheldon and Amy to show up. Georgie (Sheldon's older brother) is a tire mogul in Texas. He asked that question. Raj and his father. Raj kept drawing a HEFTY allowance from his RICH Dad. Despite that, Raj still had trouble starting relationships, let alone keeping them. Sheldon was mad that Bert, the Geology guy, got an award. He was unable to just get over it. Sheldon and Leonard and a not-uncommon exchange. Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler, with Sheldon "improving" their wedding photos. Amy planned her wedding, and had a job for everyone, the most important of which was keeping her mother busy and not interfering with the wedding. Mrs Wolf recognized the clue from Raj's scavenger hunt pretty quickly. They had been sent from the Riddler display at the comic book store to the next stop, and that was the next clue. So, take it away, George!

Correct-amundo!

CORRECT!

I like this song. I'm going to pivot anyway. Same artists, different song. "And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, Or the moment of truth in your lies, When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive."

How old is this show, and what do you know about the interests of these people?

The correct spelling is "Airplane!" . The answer is correct nevertheless. Go, George!

"Yeah, it’s weirdly quiet. Nobody’s in the street." "Huh, that’s strange." "You thinking what I’m thinking?" "They cut that meteorite open and unleashed a space plague." "Exactly." "Let me just lock up here." "Okay, so what do we do?" "Uh, well, if this is a worst case scenario and we’re the last two people alive we’re gonna have to rebuild civilization." "Do you have any special skills?" "I can draw. How about you?" "I can play clarinet." "I didn’t know that." "Yeah. Ten years. Ah." "You know, it, uh, might also be up to us to repopulate the earth." "I’m okay with that." "So shall we?" "Wait here. I’m gonna brush my teeth." "Does anyone have any questions?" "I do. Why are there no tires in Star Wars?" "You're an adult who can't get by without an allowance from his parents. Women don't want that." "What are you saying? That you're giving up on me? What kind of father gives up on his son?" "I have six children, five of whom are married and self-sufficient. I don't think I'm the problem." "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..." "What happened?" "I tried to let go of anger, and threw a rock into my foot." "Then, he got more angry and kicked the rock with his other foot." "What?! And what happened to you?!" "Oh, I laughed so hard, I burst a blood vessel in my nose! It's fine!" "You're probably wondering why I put you through this." "You mean the last two minutes or the last twenty years?" "Hey, watcha doing?" "Improving our wedding photos." "Oh, that's nice. Wait, I'm still in them, right?" "Of course. And not only you. I've added some guests who couldn't be there." "Who's that next to my father?" "The Wright brothers." "And why are they at our wedding?" "Orville, because I admire him; Wilbur, because he was Orville's plus-one." "Now we got a lot of family coming in tomorrow. I'm gonna need everyone's help. Think of this as one of your comic book movies. There's a bunch of superheroes, each with a different task." "Oh, like the new Avengers." "Which one was that?" "The one you slept through last weekend." "Ah. That was a good nap." "I think it's more like, uh,... like Lord of the Rings, and you're the Fellowship. Someone's gotta go to Gondor, someone's gotta go to Mordor, someone's gotta hold off the Demon of Shadow and Flame." "You mean the Balrog?" "I mean my mother." "It says here to 'Leave no stone unturned.' " If you're wondering if this is a show primarily about people who share a workplace, or about a group of friends, the answer is "yes." Obviously, over time, neither is an absolute- you can find regular characters who are not friends and/or do not share the same workplace.

I'm confident you've watched this show.
