Is that Rod Serling's "Night Gallery"?

Clint Eastwood Firefox John Ratzenberberger

Bravo! You have it in one. I didn't know the lyrics existed until just before I posted the clue.

Ok, next show. Someone wrote words to this show's theme song. Here they are. " So you think that you've got troubles? Well, trouble's a bubble So tell old Mr. Trouble to get lost! Why not hold your head up high and Stop cryin', start tryin' And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed. When you find the joy of livin' Is lovin' and givin' You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed. A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down So smile, and that frown will defrost. And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed "

I knew Alphas was cancelled, but I never saw the show. I knew Dollhouse was cancelled, but never saw it either. I knew Eliza Dushku was in it but not Summer Glau. I never watched Warehouse 13.

That was it. Mrs Wolf loves this movie. I didn't even get to mention Cesar Romero in the cast...

Next movie. Shirley Mac Laine Norman Fell Red Skelton George Raft Joey Bishop

That's it.

Obviously, I know her from "Firefly." I know she was in "Terminator- the Sarah Connor Chronicles."

No. I hope you're feeling flexible. You'll want to kick yourself soon....

*looks* I've heard of the one with Bill Murray and might have gotten it, but the one with Joan Collins, I've never even heard of it.

"I've seen the footage. The only thing you really fight for is yourself. You're not the guy to make the sacrifice play, to lay down on a wire and let the other guy crawl over you." "I think I would just cut the wire." "Always a way out..." " You really have got a lid on it, haven't you? What's your secret? Mellow jazz? Bongo drums? Huge bag of weed?" "This is out of line, Director. You're dealing with forces you can't control." "You ever been in a war, Councilman? In a firefight? Did you feel an over-abundance of control?" "They needed a push in the right direction. They got it." " Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on." "They'll come back." "You really sure about that?" "I am." "Why?" "Because we'll need them to." "Raise the mizzenmast! Jib the topsails!" "Kneel!" "Not today!"

"Scrooged"?

I can name 2 series, not counting guest shots and not counting "Arrow."

That specific wouldn't apply, but others would, or might, depending on how they were presented in court. There was no signed contract that said the corps was "signed up for a lifetime of Christian service." It wasn't anything they SIGNED- it was a SLOGAN for the corps. IF they HAD signed such a document (which they didn't), it would be unenforceable to be signed up for "a lifetime" for a program, especially with such a nebulous requirement as "Christian service." That is far too VAGUE. Working in soup kitchens is "Christian service." Mission fields are "Christian service." And so on, and so on. "Misrepresentation" is a separate issue, and violation of twi's fiduciary responsibilities are completely different issues-but applicable to prosecuting twi. The main reasons to sue twi are not "breaking contracts". That's a little like bringing in Al Capone on income tax evasion. It's true and legal, but hardly the main reason to bring in the criminal.

I think EVERY country has had someone hide out there at some point or other, but a reputation for being a refuge for wanted criminals is more a fiction than a reality for any country. (Running to Brazil is as realistic, today, as running to Mexico and being shocked when you're caught and extradited. Most countries don't really look like their media impressions- England is modern, Mexico isn't an old Western set...) IF he slipped the net into Brazil, he'd have to live completely "off the grid" and sponge completely off the followers. That's less likely every year with information nets getting tighter every year. He's practically be under "house arrest" since he doesn't speak Portuguese and would stand out quickly between not looking Brazilian and having a US accent even if he DID try to speak Portuguese. He can make a MUCH more successful fade into the background if he stays in the US somewhere, even if it's an island of the mainland US.

Ok, to move this along, "Batman the Movie". The moustachioed guy was Cesar Romero. As a kid, I never noticed the moustache under the makeup. The cast-change was Julie Newmar replaced by Lee Meriwether. (Julie couldn't clear her schedule for the shooting.) Given that 3 different recurring villains were played by more than 1 actor, none of whom looked like each other, this didn't seem peculiar to me when I was the movie. Then again, I saw it on television years later. (I wasn't ALIVE when the movie hit the theaters.)

Or maybe just for her character.

Wow! I always thought that movie was meant to cash in on the show! I heard that somewhere....apparently incorrectly.....

Ok, that narrows the field a lot, and I have a chance, now. (Slim, but I have one.) "Star Trek The Original Series?" "The Brady Bunch"?

We all know some shows that most people here would never remember. If an initial clue shows people have NO idea (especially 1 season shows), it helps to keep adding clues until we get there, and it helps to admit that sometimes we won't get it unless the clue is blatant because we've barely heard of a show-if ever. When I post on less well-known shows, I like to put clues for 2 shows at once and saying someone guessing one will take the round. When I post on really obscure shows, I like to put clues for 3 shows, since it gives some hope of a chance to people who are, after all, TRYING to solve them.

Another hint might be nice...

AFAIK, it's a violation of the General Law of Contracts to sign someone up for a contract who has not signed up for a contract. They were billed for contracted services they never requested. If there is no Offer and Acceptance, there is no Contract. The people never AGREED to purchase the services, so there was no Offer and Acceptance. If they HAD, this would fall under both Misrepresentation and Clean Hands, but neither applies in the absence of a Contract-either could void a Contract. So, QED, what he did was illegal. Naturally, if we had a contract lawyer chat with us here, he might say something I'm unaware of, but I strongly doubt he'd look at everything I did and come to the OPPOSITE conclusion. (Someone showing him a little MIGHT get him to make a statement that didn't apply here, for example, but not if he had all the facts.) Most do. With twi and ex-twi, that changes once you're an insider. Insiders often don't get the "nice guy wants money" thing, they get the "God's protection racket wants their cut" thing that vpw started and lcm exemplified.

Oh. So, IF he could leave the country and somehow get there without being tracked, he could sponge off of them. That gives a reason to think he'd WANT to hide there. It's not like that's the country of refugees, it's the country where he has assets. But the first point of "wanted criminals can't just buy plane tickets, go through customs, and be ignored" still applies. Interesting story you linked to-although hardly shocking by now based on what we already knew about the guy.
