  1. My first guess is Get Smart!, but I'm not quite sure that fits. Get Smart Again was just a TV movie to the best of my knowledge, and the third series was just called Get Smart (and was not critically acclaimed by a longshot).
  2. When you say you "thought it was awful," you're talking about the third series, right? Also, I'm assuming from your question that the shows did not all have the same name.
  3. I thought I was the only person not involved in the production who remembered it.
  4. I am surprised you remembered the 1979 version
  5. Surprised anyone remembered this. The Miracle Worker starred Patty Duke as Helen Keller and Anne Bancroft as Anne Sullivan in 1962. Remade in 1979 with Patty Duke as Anne Sullivan and Melissa Gilbert as Helen Keller. Patty Duke is well known for playing "identical cousins" in "The Patty Duke Show"
  6. Did the younger actress in the older version ever play the cousin of the older actress in the later version?
  7. Should be said: "Private interpretation," biblically, didn't even mean what VPW said it meant. It has nothing to do with the meaning of scripture.
  8. Because she wasn't. Wrong year of death and wrong... oh fine Doris DAY
  9. He said, In winter 1963 it felt like the world would freeze With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles.
  10. Debbie Reynolds died a day after her daughter. You're thinking of the wrong day.
  11. Ooh, re-search. Good one!
  12. Points off for spelling, but yes, Jerry Maguire. You had me at hello. SHOW ME THE MONEY! Cuba Gooding won an Oscar. Later, Regina King and Renee Zellwegger. Tom Cruise has multiple nominations. "You had me from Hello" was a hit for Kenny Chesney
  13. Ok, ok. But Bull Durham is not a character. This movie has a title character who was played by Not Robin Williams. One co-star won an Oscar for his role. Two others won Oscars for later roles. And I can't stress this enough: You should have it from the first clue.
  14. Hello. An actor who eventually won an Oscar for this movie first auditioned for the part opposite Robin Williams and believed Williams would be cast in the title role. The real title actor had already been hired and it wasn't Williams. Williams was just doing a favor (not clear whether it was for the director or the actual star of the movie). Nonetheless, the Oscar winner would eventually work with Williams on another movie. Sometimes considered a sports movie. Other times, total chick flick. Contains a number of famous lines, (among them, NOT "The Kwan" or, alt spelling, "The Quan"). One of those lines was later adapted into a hit country song. Three of the four main actors went on to win Oscars (one for this movie, two for others). The fourth has never won, but was nominated multiple times. I'm surprised you didn't get it from the first clue.

  16. We've discussed this before, but I thought I'd resurrect the topic. A friend is working on a podcast that will touch on how cults manipulate language and why. My feeling is that giving people a peculiar vocabulary and jargon helps builds group cohesion at the expense of outsiders who use the same words but don't mean the same thing. Examples, "I'm believing for" instead of "I'm praying or hoping for." "Religious" as an insult. I'd like to give her more examples unique to TWI. Suggestions?
  17. I don't know the actual name, but I would say "Istanbul" And the only band I know of that sang it was They Might Be Giants
  18. And this was the answer on another thread like really really recently
  19. Mark agrees with Raf. Put it on your calendar. We will celebrate the anniversary of this next year
  20. The artist is neither Cleopatra nor Caesar
