Athletes of the Spirit: Runtime?
WordWolf replied to Galvatron's question in Ask the Greasespot Cafe
My recollection matches his. The show was divided, basically, into 2 parts, each 1 hour. The first hour ends with the end of the "born again" scene. I seem to remember an actual curtain-drop in the video at the end of the scene, with the curtain lift included at the beginning of the next scene. I used to use this as a natural intermission for bathroom breaks and so on. IIRC, others did, as well. The end of the show dragged on longer than one might expect because they dragged the closing credits out. All the people in the show were named one at a time and came out dressed as athletes again like in the opening sequence. Once the credits ended that everyone may remember, the screen faded out. Those completionists may remember that the credits actually continued after that. With a screen almost black (and low, colored lights on), the behind-the-scenes credits continued with those who were not on camera, and those names crawled along. At the end of THAT, the video ended and you got static. I have a very vague recollection that the credits might have run something like 17 minutes, start to finish. i am NOT certain about that, but it shouldn't be off by a wide margin. (That might have just been the last part with the production credits.) -

Got to be a spoof of something hard-boiled. I can picture Detective Frank Drebin saying these lines, but I know he did not. Perhaps this was "DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID".

I remember discussing "Wild Kingdom" with the hitchhiker. This MUST be "Twilight Zone- the Movie." William Shatner's episode with "some...thing on the wing" was redone in the movie with Lithgow seeing the gremlin. This movie redid that episode, and "It's a Wonderful Life", and I forget which was the third.

Thank you for the first image. I'm fairly confident I haven't seen the movie for the second image.

That song is correct. The description of the group is accurate enough. It was called "USA for Africa." It's funny how, sometimes, it's the inaccuracies that can stick in your craw decades later. I actually might have gotten it from the end, when Ray Charles took over. "All right, let me here you!" He sang counterpoint to everyone else at that point.

About 1 more day, then we can look it up.

Ok, the other one. If it wasn't Wonder Woman, it had to be LOIS LANE.

No, but Martin Buber sounds pretty sensible. I've heard of him before but I haven't read his books. -
"Well, well, well, let's realize that a change can only come When we stand together as one." (This next song is NOT a political song.)

Well, I saw the name somewhere. I know I'm not far off. WONDER WOMAN?

That's entirely possible. However, he shows so many signs of psychopathic/sociopathic behaviour that I tend to think that his response was because we weren't people to him, we were RESOURCES. So, when we thought for ourselves and dared to disagree with him, he took that personally because he was entitled to do all our thinking for us. -
Ok, I think I know where I saw the name "Salome Jens." These are actresses who played SUPERGIRL. Salome Jens was a voice actress who played her in a cartoon.

That's quite possible. ELP's Palmer was CARL PALMER. At one point, they replaced him with "Powell" but he seemed to return later. A few years ago, "THE CARL PALMER TRIO" did a world tour through here (with a note that he's that "Palmer" on the posters.) (World tours seem to pass here a year after they pass the US.)

Correct. I take it you vectored in on Langella.

I'm not sure about "Legend." However, Wadsworth the Butler in "Clue" and the Plaza Hotel front desk manager in "Home Alone 2- Lost in New York" were both TIM CURRY.

CORRECT! I was going to say he wasn't Austin, but "Austin Powers in Goldmember" is the actual title! In other news, the guy in the picture was NIGEL Powers, Austin's Dad, played by Michael Caine. (Nigel's played by him.) Your turn!

Your answer is correct. I prefer the exchange about doing something for himself for once.
