1. "G'night, John-boy"

:)

[kick-ass-bob]

2. maybe I should make it a "guess where the line comes from" thread.

that might be more interesting.

[Beaverhausen]

9. The Waltons

these are easy folks!

[SoCalDem]

16. I didn't think it was a contest:)

The OP just said to post 'em :)

[Beaverhausen]

19. Doesn't it say "Guess the show"

am I hallucinating? :crazy:

[Left Is Write]

22. It does, but that was edited in AFTER SoCalDem posted.

:)

[Beaverhausen]

28. I think 12:49 falls before 1:10

but I could be wrong

[Left Is Write]

29. No, I mean SoCalDem posted the line "G'Night John Boy" before

the subject line was edited. At the time the line was posted, SoCalDem didn't know it was going to be a guessing game.

[kick-ass-bob]

34. To clarify, I said "just post them" then SoCal posted one and then

I changed it to a game.

[Call Me Wesley]

3. Sit, Boo Boo, sit. Good dog.

Well, more like the producers sig line, but hey!

[kick-ass-bob]

it's not boo boo - it's Ubu.

:D

[Call Me Wesley]

10. Oops, thanks.

Sounded like 'Boo boo', but I never seen it in print.

My and Google's mistake. :blush:

[SoCalDem]

4. Sit UBU..

It sounded like boo-boo, but it was Ubu:)

Advertising Mascots - Animals
Ubu Roi - Black Labrador retriever formerly owned by Gary David Goldberg, the producer of UBU Productions, Inc. founded in 1981. At the end of each of Goldberg's television programs (FAMILY TIES/ NBC/1982-89; THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE/CBS/1991-93; and SPIN CITY/ABC/1996-2002, among others) a black and white photograph of Ubu Roi is flashed on the screen. The photo shows a Black Labrador retriever holding a frisbee in its mouth, facing to its right. He is sitting on a patch of lawn in front of an unidentified college dormitory (supposedly somewhere France). Off screen Gary David Goldberg speaks the phrase "Sit Ubu, Sit!" and the comment "Good Dog!" The dog acknowledges his master voice with a quick, single dog bark. Ubu Roi (who died in 1984) played Frisbee with Goldberg during his college days.

86. I think I saw "Sit Ubu" at the end of "Taxi"... my dad would always

say that to our dog, even though his name wasn't Ubu.

[ghostsofgiants]

5. I think it's Ubu, not Boo Boo, but Family Ties, perhaps?

[Call Me Wesley]

11. I know it from 'Spin City'. (nt)

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Yeah, I think it has some kind of Michael J. Fox connection...

[Call Me Wesley]

14. LOL! (nt)

[kick-ass-bob]

[GOPisEvil]

If you get them all you win the total geek award.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

40. The last one is...

The Prisoner

[m_welby]

44. that is correct.

Two if the others are british as well.

...and two are sci-fi.

[Pithlet]

69. I heard they're remaking that show.

I don't have a link, my husband told me this last night.

[m_welby]

75. yes, i've heard that as well, though I can't imagine how.

[Karmageddon]

76. 3 is Monty Python's Flying Circus. Is 2 Dr. Who?

[m_welby]

79. right on both. n/t

[patcox2]

78. Lost in Space

nt

[m_welby]

80. correct.

I had thought that was the easiest one, yet it's the last to be identified.


I guess I should have gone with 'danger danger will robinson', but that really would have been too easy.

[salin]

"Out of the blue of the western sky..."

"I've been both mother and father to her ever since she was born..."

"...but most of all, I remember..."

"Hey kids, what time is it?"

[m_welby]

41. i got some of these

the first one is (i think) my friend flika.

The second is the lone ranger (easy)

don't know number 3

this fourth one is the wonder years i believe

the last is howdy doody of course.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

46. Sorry, only the last one was right

:shrug:

[book lady]

45. I believe #4 is

"...but most of all, I remember Mama"

[Lydia Leftcoast]

47. Correct!

:thumbsup:

That's the 1950s TV series, "I Remember Mama," about a family of Norwegian immigrants.

Starring Peggy Wood, who later played the Mother Superior in The Sound of Music, with Robin Morgan, who later became a feminist writer, as one of Mama's daughters.

[kick-ass-bob]

48. is the 2nd one

Bonanza?

[ProfessorGAC]

49. It's Either That Or Sky King!

Some of these even pre-date me. (I'm 49) But, WGN used to show that early and mid-50's stuff on Saturday mornings.

So, if you're answer isn't right, we have a back-up.
The Professor

[Lydia Leftcoast]

52. The correct answer is

Sky King!

[ProfessorGAC]

50. Is The Third One, Bachelor Father?

John Forsythe?
The Professor

[Lydia Leftcoast]

53. Nope

Kelly didn't come to live with Uncle Bentley until she was 13.

[ProfessorGAC]

54. Wow! You Remember This Stuff Better Than I Do

The Professor

[Lydia Leftcoast]

55. Okay, they've all been answered except #1 and #3

Where are all you 50+ people this morning?

[book lady]

57. I am at work......

shhhhhhhhh

[book lady]

56. is #1

Fury, with Peter Graves and Joey and an old codger, and a beautiful black horse that I fell in love with...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

58. YESSSS!

And for a trivia note, Peter Graves was the brother of James Arness, star of Gunsmoke.

[m_welby]

60. well the only one left is #3 so here's a shot oin the dark...

Gidget.

- I should've known #2 was sky king, before my time but my elder brothers watched it.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

62. Nope, much earlier

:-)

Gidget was ca. 1965. The one I'm thinking of was about 8 to 10 years earlier.

[m_welby]

64. oh, duh...Bachelor Father!!

before my time, but i think that's correct. if not, thats my 3rd strike and I admit my ignorance.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

65. Sorry, 3rd strike

As I told Professor GAC, Kelly didn't go to live with Uncle Bentley till she was 13.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

63. Hint for #3:

It starred a distinguished looking former silent film star and a young actress whose name was sort of a pun as his grown daughter.

After this series ended, the actress went on to star in a series called "Oh, Susannah," which lasted only a few episodes.

And that was it for her career.

[spacelady]

68. My Little Margie?

[DancingBear]

74. Definitely My Little Margie

and Gail Storm's best friend on that show was played by an actress with the greatest name in all of TV history:

Zazu Pitts!!!!!!!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

81. Give spacelady and DancingBear official baby boomer certificates

:-)

[spacelady]

82. Geez, here I thought Gale Storm was a name to be reckoned with.

Zazu Pitts is a great name, weird enough to be a given name rather than a stage name. Shouldn't talk though considering what we named our daughter.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

87. I remember seeing an interview with ZaSu Pitts when she was very old

She said she was named after two aunts or cousins or grandmothers or something, one of whom was Eliza and the other of whom was Suzanne. The name was pronounced "Zaysoo."

[DancingBear]

73. Out of the blue of the western sky comes...

Sky King!

(lest us not forget his lovely niece Penny, and the Songbird, which was the plane)

[sakabatou]

66. "I'll use my sword to protect people."

[southlandshari]

83. .....

:hi:

[BrotherBuzz]

85. dupe

:shrug:

[lpbk2713]

88. This one is probably way too easy.....

"And hey, let's be careful out there."


So just to add a little difficulty, who said it?
