Well, Paul2, I guess it'd be cheating if I used any of my reference books or Googled! Some of these questions are really tough, but I think I know one or two.
ReplyDelete1. I'll guess the Partridge Family opened for the Monkees, but, really, I have no idea!
2. I'll go with "I Spy," which was on NBC. But I wouldn't be surprised if Culp starred in an earlier show. By the way, he was in my favorite "Outer Limits" episode: "Demon With a Glass Hand."
3. I know this one: the hour-long "Danger Man" episodes became "Secret Agent" in the U.S.
4. I think Fonda's show was "The Smith Family" and he played a detective who coped with family situations, too. I'll guess the network was NBC (or maybe ABC). Stewart might have been in a sitcom called "The Jimmy Stewart Show." I'm not 100% sure. But I know he was in a 90-minute series called "Hawkins," in which he played a lawyer not unlike the one in "Anatomy of a Murder." This series was on once a month, rotating with "Shaft" and "The CBS Tuesday Night Movie." I think the pilot film was called "Hawkins on Murder."
Rick your pretty good I'll give the answers next week. But I will the you #1 is wrong, #2 is a good guess but wrong .But your comment about Demon with a Glass hand was going to be ome of next weeks questions. Great minds Think alike.#3 is rightand Four is short of right. BTW do you know in what famous LA building Demon was shot?It'was also uesd in Blade Runner, and is a LA landmark.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be the Bradbury Building! The setting--and the hand, of course--are part of what makes "Demon With a Glass Hand" such a cool episode.
ReplyDeleteThat is correct Rick. Since we're talking about The Outer Limits I once sold it's productor Leslie Stevens A Car Stereo Upgrade for his BMW.He's a real nice guy and we played Trivia together So I'll give you a preview of next weeks questions They will all be about Mr .Stevens TV shows .
