  1. Bittersweet memories That is all I'm taking with me So goodbye. Please don't cry. We both know I'm not what you You need.
  2. One of the actors in the early years of this comedy series was about 54 years old when it started. You would have sworn he was older, if not actually dead. This is one of those shows that had a revolving door of guest actors and actresses, many of whom played different characters. At least two became series regulars [again, not playing the characters they played earlier as guests]. Many of the guest actors and actresses later appeared on Night Court, which debuted on another network three years after this series ended. One of the writers (50 episodes) was Reinhold Weege, who later started a production company called "Starry Night Productions," which went on to produce... Night Court. The name Starry Night came from an episode of this series (it was the phony name of a phony porn company one of the characters came up with as a cover story). One of the characters in the early seasons occasionally broke into his native Spanish. What he said in Spanish was never scripted.
  3. Do they all dwell at the same location?
  4. I finally watched Armageddon from Flash Season 8. Not bad. Catching up.
  5. I don't think a spoiler alert is necessary after more than a decade, but whatever, spoiler alert. Rule number one of turning a TV show into a movie: honor the TV show. Rule number one of this movie adaptation of a popular series: screw the source material. Let's make the hero the bad guy! This movie has had five sequels, not counting the two currently in the works. This won't help you: it's the LAST movie to get a home video Betamax release. (It's not as old as you might think, based on that clue). The original plan was to bring back the entire original cast of the TV series and kill them off in the first act. They settled for making the main character of the seried the Big Bad. There's a significant, uncredited cameo by a fairly well-known actor (EE) in the first act of the movie. He did it to return a favor to the lead actor in this movie, who appeared in a significant, uncredited role in an earlier movie starring EE.
  6. So I wish you joy And happiness But above all this I wish you Looove...

  10. Suddenly in the mood for coffee
  11. Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait. You Catholic girls start much too late.
  12. Bono was more than a cameo. He was the man with the bomb. The buh? No, not the buh. The bomb.
  13. By the way, Richard Belzer originated the role of Det. Munch in the series Homicide, which was set in Baltimore. The character transferred to the NYPD for Law & Order SVU. And he's played the character in like a googol different series, including American Dad, which is animated.
  14. Was it the thunk that gave it away? thunk thunk!
  15. I'll allow it. Law & Order SVU
  16. You can't think of a single long-running series whose female lead might be a rape crisis counselor [and that fact is relevant] and her mom was a pinup? Really? None? Whoda.... thunk?
