You may well be considered a local celebrity, but you can leave here whenever you feel you must. In other news, you didn't name any of the shows I mentioned. I'll add more clues later tonight, or something before dawn at any rate.

Ooo, we've got the "red skies crossovers" and so on? I was waiting for those. I'm waiting on Mrs Wolf to watch Flash and Arrow. We're about 2 episodes behind right now, but will catch up soon I imagine. I can catch Supergirl and Batwoman this week and catch up there. I'll let you know what we're up to. (Next Arrow episode- "Purgatory", next Flash episode: Part 1 of "Last Temptation of Barry Allen." ) As soon as this all is over, I should binge-watch Marvel movies and catch up. (I haven't seen "Endgame" yet- I'm good through "Infinity War", at least 1 viewing, for the Avengers plotline.)

Then in that case..... David Carradine Kill Bill Volume One Lucy Liu

A) This reality show put a bunch of people in an RV and sent them around the US (usually) to finish tasks and try to win "a handsome reward." One season was on a big ship, and another season was across islands in Latin America or thereabouts. Probably the crowning moment there was when they were waiting for a boat on a beach. It arrived, piloted by Bob Denver in appropriate costume. "What's so funny? "IT'S GILLIGAN!!!!!" It would have been twice as bad if I were there- I was making Gilligan jokes as soon as a boat appeared on the horizon. Having him actually appear after that would have been too much. Oh, and the wind snatched off his hat- but one contestant jumped from the boat to rescue it. Bob was very thankful. The emphasis was more on the journey than on the locations, much of the time. They eventually ended up not only crossing over with another "reality" show, but sort-of merging into the crossover show, which has lasted a LOT longer than this show! B) This reality show put some "celebrities" together (for some value of "celebrity" or another) into one house. We got Gary Coleman, Tammy Faye Baker, Vanilla Ice, Ron Jeremy, Erik Estrada in one season. Another season had Corey Feldman, MC Hammer, Emmanuel Lewis, Gabrielle Charteris, and Vince Neil. Another had Charo, Dave Coulier, Flavor Flav, Jordan Knight, and Brigitte Neilsen. Another had Adrienne Curry, Christopher Knight, Verne Troyer, and Jane Weidlin. Another had Jose Canseco, Janice Dickenson, and Bronson Pinchot. Another (yes, six seasons!) had Sherman Hemsley, Tawny Kitaen, Florence Henderson, CC De Ville, and Steve "Smash Mouth" Harwell. This show had more than 1 spin-off. One memorable moment from the season with Jose Canseco was a softball game versus "the celebrities" - lookalikes of Michael Jackson, etc. Heading that team was "Jose Canseco." The resemblance was truly uncanny- because Jose Canseco has a twin brother and they brought him in for the episode! C) This short-lived reality show had a businessman study martial arts, then travel around to places with an indigenous martial art. There he tried to crash-course on it in a few days, after which he tried to compete in it. They didn't take it easy on the guy, and sometimes you had to wonder if he was going to suffer permanent damage or a fatal injury! D) This reality show has a comedy troupe do a hidden camera show. Each comedian wears an earpiece, and the others give him instructions he HAS to follow, and deal with the public. If he fails at his task, he loses. The biggest loser of an episode has a big punishment at the end of the episode. The biggest surprise is always waiting to see what the public does. We've seen people sign a petition for a charity called "Fake Charity". We saw one comedian security-wanding at an event, and a woman deliberately vague as to if she was concealing drugs (so she would have to be searched), and incidents where it looked like the comedians' lives were in danger.[/b]

"Those who are tardy do not get fruit cup." " I'm trapped! I feel like I'm caught in a web!" "Professor Little Old Man." " 'Lillolman'."Lillolman''."

Ok, next song. "Kick down the barricades. Listen what the kids say. From time to time people change their minds But the music is here to stay. I've seen it all from the bottom to the top"

No. "Big Brother" has some people and MAYBE later has some sort of "celebrities." This show started with the "celebrities" and continued that way through its run.

"I'm dreaming of a White Ho-Ho...." Yes, someone typed that up, and yes, we sang it.

I had a vague idea that Ron Jeremy was in a motion picture release, but I thought everyone else was strictly direct-to-video or whatever. Ron's shown up on TV as well as in at least one music video (Moby's "We Are All Made of Stars".) He actually sounds like a normal guy when he's just normal guy'ing, apparently.

That's him. "Ox" was in "Stripes", and was named in the dialogue. Burton Mercer was Jake Blues' parole officer. And so on.

..but by the mid 80s, places like where I was had those silly caveats I mentioned above. Couldn't call it Christmas if you were celebrating it- had to call it "HO-HO". Then you could do almost everything (except changing carol lyrics so "Christmas" was "Ho-Ho.") I'm not sure if that last part was done locally and tongue-in-cheek, or if someone seriously said this was a rule about the songs.

George is obviously up, since he gave a correct answer.

In twi, it was fine to celebrate the Birth of Jesus- so long as you did so on September 11th (and looked down on people who celebrated any other day.) Celebrate Christmas? lcm used to claim that Christmas (named after the Christ Mass people attended) was named after the MASSACRE of the innocents by Herod. (So, the holiday of Candlemas would have commemorated the massacre of a lot of candles, etc.) Yes, when I was in, I knew he was wrong. But, could not celebrate Christmas or Advent. Mind you, in twi, it was totally fine to celebrate a Household Holiday (Ho-Ho) on December 25th, with a decorated tree, presents, carols, and so on. You were totally not supposed to celebrate Christmas. Seriously, I'm NOT making ANY of that up!

I can't comment on the teaser, I'm currently behind 1 episode all around (and I don't want to get ahead of the Mrs on Arrow or Flash, but she doesn't watch Supergirl or Batwoman.) I didn't speculate on that, but Mrs Wolf thought they might be planning to merge the TV earths into 1 Earth. In fairness, many shows are connected- Constantine, Arrow, Flash, Legends, and Batwoman are all on one Earth. Black Lightning, Supergirl, and Powerless are not, and Powerless ended. Black Lightning can be merged with little trouble- the main gap is the difference between street-level (Arrow, Batwoman, Black Lightning) and flying capes (Supergirl), with "Flash" somewhere in between but open to interpretation, same as LoT.

That's it.

Billy Drago Andy Garcia Sean Connery

Ok, name the actor.... Burton Mercer Russ Lasky John Bourgignon Freddie Bauer Spike Nolan Jack Chester

Yeah, but their "BAD BOYS" is probably the only one anyone's heard of, unless they're related to someone who worked on the other "BAD BOYS".

I feel lucky.... Clint Eastwood.

One of those names makes me think "Clint Howard" but I really don't think you went in that direction.
