Name that TV Show

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"The only reason that you're conscious right now is because I don't want to carry you."

"You inhaled plutonium, George."

"So?"

"So I'm not the only person who shouldn't be here today."

"You okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Is there anything I can do?"

"I said I'm fine! I am trying not to think about what happened, I'm gonna process it later, okay?"

"Sure, fine."

"Edgar, I appreciate your concern. I really do. Just when I shot that guy, I thought I'd go all fetal position. But the truth is, I didn't feel anything. At all. I hope I'm not some kind of a psychopath."

"Well, he WAS trying to kill you."

"Yeah, but still!"

"Maybe it's a delayed reaction kinda thing. Maybe you'll freak out about it in a few days."

"I hope so."

"Did you revise the casualty projections?"

"Of course...Here they are."

"Just give me the number."

"Two to five million dead within the first 48 hours."

"Good enough."

"I was unfairly harsh to you a few minutes ago, I didn't mean anything."

"All right. Apology accepted."

"It wasn't really an apology, it was more of an observation."

"You are gonna tell me what I wanna know, it's just a matter of how much you want it to hurt."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Time to start "naming names."

"Jack, if you kill me, you won't know who I work for. You think I work for Drazen, but I don't!"

"I trusted you, Nina..."

"I was just doing my job."

"Your job? My wife and daughter almost died today! How many people that trusted you lost their life today because you were doing your job? Walsh, or Jamey? Ellis? How many others?"

"How many people died because of you, Jack?"

"We're in an active code, Chloe. We don't have time for your personality disorder."

"The only reason that you're conscious right now is because I don't want to carry you."

"You inhaled plutonium, George."

"So?"

"So I'm not the only person who shouldn't be here today."

Okay, let's make it REALLY obvious:

"I'm federal agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life."

"Jack, if you kill me, you won't know who I work for. You think I work for Drazen, but I don't!"

"I trusted you, Nina..."

"I was just doing my job."

"Your job? My wife and daughter almost died today! How many people that trusted you lost their life today because you were doing your job? Walsh, or Jamey? Ellis? How many others?"

I don't think other people have been checking in.

The Jack Bauer reference means this is "24". (Which I've never watched.)

You're probably right.

And you're right.

If I were to just make a suggestion about this game or any other it could take quite some time to wait until the person who correctly got the answer to post his reply. If they were to go on vacation, or get sick, or a cruise then we are left to wait until they return.

Why not first come first serve as they say. If someone gets the answer then, lets say, anyone can start up the game again. Just a suggestion.

[WordWolf]

Usually people will say "I'll be out of town, so anyone can take my turn"

or something along those lines.

In this particular case, if you're saying you want to take the next turn,

go ahead, you can take mine.

(If you don't post, I'll post eventually.)

That's not what I'm saying. But no thanks anyway. Be my guest WordWolf.

I think he did a cartoon series. This is not it, however.

[Gen-2]

Brooks did "Get Smart" And some Robin Hood parody (I think)

"How can you sell meat so cheap?"

"I'm glad you asked that. We rope, we brand, we butcher. We do everything but eat it for you."

"What do you know about rice?"

"Well, I had it thrown at me on one of the darkest days in my life."

"It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for."

"Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch."

[Gen-2]

One of the most re-runned (?) B&W TV series of all time - But I liked other episodes more.

Another one of Lucy Ricardo's half-baked plans to get into Show Business. She pretended to be sick to get Ricky to agree to let her on the show but Ricky finds out she's faking. He hires a fake doctor to treat the fake ilness. a rare tropical disease. Ricky also rigged up a green lightbulb over where Lucy was laying to make it appear she had turned green. The Quack diagnosis is golbloots from the hind legs of the booshoo bird, you have to remove your zorch to fix it and if it gets too bad you turn green ... and you can never trummle again....EVER!

Needless to say,... NO. I have no idea what the episode title or number is I think it was on Nick at Night years ago before TV Land existed

I can't honestly say the light bulb was green,... it was a B&W show

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Gen-2,

In this thread, you don't need the episode title, just the name of the show. I think WW will probably give it to you. (Luille Ball had a few shows, but only one that featured Desi (Ricky) as well, if I recall correctly.)

Let's see... Lucy Ricardo, Ricky, yeah, close enough.

You needed to just name the series, the show, and that's

specific enough. (Only one show had Lucy RICARDO, and had Ricky,

more or less.)

BTW, like the rest of "Name That TV Show", I actually quoted a few different

episodes. I shall identify them.

Oh, and yes, it's your turn now. "Wikiquote" will help if you're

absolutely stumped for ideas.

" 'El Breako the Leaso'?"

Lucy and Ricky wanted to move to Connecticut, but the Mertzes wouldn't let them out of

their lease. So they became very unpleasant tenants.

Culminating in Lucy recommending Ricky's band rehearse in the living room.

When Fred and Ethel were guaranteed to be home, Lucy recommended they play

that old Cuban folk song, "El Breako the Leaso." According to her, that's the

name of the Mexican Hat Dance. By the end of the song, the Mertzes were hit with

falling plaster.

"Introducing Rhea, the Medium.

Well done, Medium Rhea!"

Lucy was superstitious. So was a prospective client of Ricky's.

So they dressed up Ethel to pretend to call up a deceased loved one for him,

Tilly. Then he asked for his deceased wife.

Lucy faked the voice for Tilly, and Fred faked the Mrs.

He was especially convinced because that's exactly what Tilly would have

sounded like, IF SHE COULD TALK, she was his former Cocker Spaniel!

That was also the episode where Lucy and that client were both into

numerology.

"I got the golbloots from a booshoo bird?!"

"We may have to remove her Zorch."

Or just half of it. After all, half a Zorch is better than none.

Yes, this episode was correctly identified and described.

The one flaw was something nobody ever caught....

Ethel saw Lucy as green under the green light bulb-

but should have seen everything else was green ALSO and known

something was up!

"How can you sell meat so cheap?"

"I'm glad you asked that. We rope, we brand, we butcher. We do everything but eat it for you."

They bought a big freezer, then decided to buy meat in bulk.

They knew "a side of ham" was a certain size (half a pig),

so they figured "a side of beef" was about the same size (no, it's half a COW!),

and Lucy and Ethel ordered a side of beef EACH (about 1 cow's worth of meat!)

They tried to sell some of it off to customers at a local butcher's shop,

and Lucy had to explain why it was cheap.

(Actually, they DID save a lot of money buying in bulk. Too bad they couldn't

keep that much frozen...)

"What do you know about rice?"

"Well, I had it thrown at me on one of the darkest days in my life."

The boys and the girls changed roles to see who had it tougher.

Lucy and Ethel went to work (remember the chocolate scene?)

and Ricky and Fred cooked dinner-chicken and rice.

Ricky asked this question when they decided what to cook.

"It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for."

"Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch."

They were visiting Europe. At the stop in Italy, a director wanted to cast

Lucy for a small role in his new movie, "Bitter Grapes."

So she went to a local vineyard where they still stomp grapes to learn how.

(This scene should come back to you!)

When she returned, she was all covered in grape-juice stains from getting in a

fight in the vat. The director explained the name was a METAPHOR and the movie

wasn't about the vineyards. He had wanted her to play the role of a tourist,

but he couldn't count on her getting all the stains off her skin-

so he cast Ethel!

That's all of them. I hope that brought back a funny memory somewhere.

Your turn!

It's still Gen-2's turn...

It's still Gen-2's turn...

Oh sorry, I didn't know it was, as I never named the show. I didn't know which of Lucy's shows it was, and never "named it"

I'll go to the University's library and get one of their archived TV shows for some quotes this afternoon

[GeorgeStGeorge]

It's a lot easier just to google the name of the show and "quotes." But, never let it be said I kept someone from going to a library! ;)

Or, you know, going to Wikiquote like I said...

Movies are a little easier, since IMDB tends to have a page of

quotes for each movie already.

Well crap, I couldn't find anything for the show I wanted to do except one or two measley quotes. I'll pass. The show I wanted was "My Favorite Martian"

When I get back to Adare in June I'll play properly - sorry.

[WordWolf]

Well then I'll go again this time.
