In this musical comedy, an interdimensional traveler ends up displaced from home and on Earth- where he's made the President of a tiny European country.

For those curious who have time on their hands, we have discussed the heck out of LEAD on several threads. Here are links for a few: "The L.E.A.D. accident-what happened?" (discussion thread) "The L.E.A.D. accident-what happened?" (Biographical thread) "Other L.E.A.D. questions, stories, etc" "LEAD 1986" "LEAD" "Foolhardy behavior"

The Grammys, too. Frank Sinatra got a Lifetime Achievement Award, and they interrupted his acceptance speech by "playing him off." When Billy Joel later did a song, he suddenly paused, stopped, pretended to listen, and muttered "Valuable advertising time going by." The MTV Movie Awards made fun of it. Yoda won the "Best Fight" Award for SW Episode 2:AotC. When he came up to make his acceptance speech, they began to play him off early on. He did the Jedi hand wave and the music halted. "Play off Yoda does no one." The audience went bananas. :)

Kill Bill Volume ONE, but you're close enough. Volume 1 was a martial arts-feel movie, Volume 2 was a Western-feel movie. BTW, I stuck to lines delivered in English and not captioned into English. I thought it was more fair, even if it excluded a lot of good lines.

I think a jury would see it the same way, and a judge would as well. I know I do.

"If you had to guess where she was headed next, what would be your best guess?" "Guessing won't be necessary. She informed me. She said that I could keep my wicked life for two reasons..." "As I said before, I've allowed you to keep your wicked life for two reasons. And the second reason is so you can tell him in person everything that happened here tonight. I want him to witness the extent of my mercy by witnessing your deformed body. I want you to tell him all the information you just told me. I want him to know what I know. I want him to know I want him to know." "As your leader, I encourage you from time to time, and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you're unconvinced that a particular plan of action I've decided is the wisest, tell me so, but allow me to convince you and I promise you right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo. Except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is... I collect your f*ing head." "You have every right to want to get even." "No, no, no, no, no. No, to get even, even-Steven... I would have to kill you... go up to Nikki's room, kill her... then wait for your husband, the good Dr. Bell, to come home and kill him. That would be even, Vernita. That'd be about square." "It was not my intention to do this in front of you. For that I'm sorry. But you can take my word for it, your mother had it comin'. When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting."

Even if you read that, IIRC, that poster was caught lying about a bunch of stuff. I wouldn't count on anything you heard being true.

It doesn't have to be, but I can't think of many shows that had so many guests. Come to think of it, maybe it DOES have to be The Muppet Show. In any event, it IS the Muppet Show. The Brady thing wasn't around the yearS it would take to have so many guests. The Muppet Show sequel was "Muppets Tonight." (1996-1998 plus syndication.) There were many Muppet movies, and there's one in the theaters or getting ready for them now.

These crackpots always have a special exception for celebrities. They don't have to do the gruntwork, they get awards but skip the earning of them, etc. Remember that Tony Collins (New England Patriots) was awarded a WOW pin despite never having gone WOW or even signing up? According to lcm's OWN ACCOUNT (vp and me), all the local leadership in New England were AGAINST lcm showing up and giving him a WOW pin (1984), and told him it was being a "RESPECTER OF PERSONS." lcm decided to do it after consulting with vpw, and was convinced it would further the ministry.

And when there were rapes in the LEAD program, it should have been halted immediately. vpw insisted the program continued, and belittled the risk of rape, saying that one could potentially be raped anywhere. Which, in and of itself, isn't a lie, but is truth phrased to be deceptive. Although it is technically true someone could perform a rape at a church's altar or on the duty sergeant's desk in a police station, the odds are incredibly small in comparison to, say, the specifics required in the LEAD program. That's why, despite there being many church altars in the US, and many duty sergeants' desks in the US, we don't hear about rapes at them but we've heard of rapes during LEAD. IMHO, once the first rape was reported, vpw was complicit in any succeeding ones, since he had a fiduciary responsibility to remove obvious risks from the program, and chose not to do so-rather vocally.

Really, do what we do and look up the movie on Wikipedia and IMdB (especially IMdB) and you may have pages and pages of stuff to draw from. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page http://www.imdb.com/ I've found that what I THOUGHT I knew-or read elsewhere and thought was correct- was incorrect and corrected myself with IMdB in particular. It's really perception. I don't know that many movies. I remember trivia, but much of it is for movies I've never SEEN. That's why I sometimes flounder trying to name actors, recognize quotes, etc. I stay in there and keep trying. You've probably seen more movies than me. (I tend to re-watch movies I like more than reach for a new movie, when left to my own devices.) But, of course, I can only ask you to stay in, I can't make you play. Please hang in anyway.

This "variety" show had many, many guests, including: Candace Bergen, Ben Vereen, Rita Moreno, Florence Henderson, Phyllis Diller, Ruth Buzzi, Julie Andrews, Milton Berle, George Burns, John Cleese, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Rich Little, Steve Martin, Ethel Merman, Zero Mostel, Bernadette Peters, Vincent Price, Lou Rawls, Connie Stevens, Pearl Bailey, Petula Clark, Roy Clarkm James Coco, Alice Cooper, Bob Hope, Elton John, Danny Kaye, Cloris Leachman, Liberace, Loretta Lynn, Gilda Radner, Helen Reddy, Roy Rogers, Peter Sellers, Raquel Welch, Harry Belafonte, Spike Milligan, and Victor Borge. (Yes, I could have kept going.) This show spawned a sequel, eventually, and there were a number of theatrical-release movies.

Now you know why I sometimes respond to bluster with "You can't scare me-I've seen Bea Arthur sing."

It may have been a typo. Then again, I don't know if vpw had a venereal disease. Knowing him, it was possible.

Incredible how twi hemorrhaged followers until they were something like 1/7 of their previous size, and yet that handful managed something twi couldn't do when there were tens of thousands in rather than just thousands- "get the Word over the world." He announced it had happened THEN and not before. And his explanation of how it was "over the world" was that there were (now) Bible meetings in locations where the entire planet could potentially attend. Yes, that's hysterical. He was only counting official twi stuff and NOT any offshoots. He said the "remnant" of twi (his term, and he redefined that and said the remnant was the best part of the cloth) which was far smaller than a few years before, NOW had fellowships fricking EVERYWHERE (but previously it did not when there were a LOT more people involved.)

They aired the show in syndication at lots of different times when I wasn't at work. I do have some interest in modern-day magic stories (I read "the Dresden Files" and recommend them for any other fan of the genre.) Also, I was single and the show starred these 3 cute chicks. That's enough for me to have watched the show when I was able. Admittedly, later it was hard for me to follow time-wise, so I missed the later seasons and what looked like interesting stories about the school. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Star_Wars_Holiday_Special 1978 was between Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. At the time, I was a kid. Naturally, I was really into Star Wars (there were toys, comic books, etc.) In 1978, Lucasfilm greenlit a project to appear on TV to maintain hype for the fans while Lucas worked on TESB. It was aimed at small children, and was 2 hours long. (It worked as a small children's special, but would have made a successful 1 hour special.) There were many problems with the thing, and Lucas has said, off the record, that he wished he could destroy all the bootleg copies of the thing from the sole airing. There were some neat things about it, and it DID feature most of actual SW cast. There were a number of actors who played bit parts, with varying levels of success. A high point was Art Carney as Saun Dann, a low point was Harvey Korman stuck playing a defective droid (he was much better as the alien Julia Childs analog). Towards the end, there was a scene set in the Cantina on Tatooine. Now, I get the grizzled bartender (Wuher) has to have someone else tending bar and he might not be there at any particular moment. All they needed was another grizzled-looking actor to play a hardened Tatooine worker. So, out of all of Hollywood, they chose BEA ARTHUR. Even as a kid, it made no sense to me... and worse, since this was a MUSICAL, they had her show up, bartend, and then SING! TWICE! And then Harvey Korman tried to pick her up. My subconscious actually suppressed the memory of the show until I saw a bootleg airing for fans decades later. Then it all came back to me. However, it explains why I went out of my way to avoid Bea Arthur shows from 1979 onwards. (Now it's just a habit, not a rule.)

I knew some of the trivia, but remember I get to use the Wikipedia page and the IMdB page (and other resources) when composing the clues. I have ONE kid. He just SEEMS like he's plural because he's a lot of work. :) At the time of the airing, I noticed the change from "day" to "week" but had forgotten it over the decades. It came back to me last night when I was reading.

I actually thought of this show first, but figured "Golden Girls" was a LOT more likely. You're referring to Shannon Doherty and "Charmed." I thought of it first because I've watched this show and I generally don't watch Bea Arthur because of an incident November 17, 1978. (The sole airing of the Star Wars Holiday Special.)

"Scarface"?

I have 3 answers, each for a different type of show. "The Golden Girls?"
