| Oct. 10, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | TV Trivia 4 Post the next question here.............. |
| Oct. 11, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | OK - here's the next question - who the heck get's to pose the next question??? I think obviously Docswear or The Wood would be a logical choice since they live down there around tinsel town and their newspapers are always full of this stuff + they must not be playing anough ball lately as they have a high % of correct answers so must have the time on their hands. |
| Oct. 11, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Pete: Why Docswear? He hasn't answered anything since his lunch order on Tuesday. To him, an Orange Crush is a soft drink. Shouldn't the guy with the 'Poopdeck Pappy' response have the floor? Perhaps I should address this to Stone since it was his series of questions... BW |
| Oct. 11, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Bob - you said he doesn't miss a meal and seldom missies a trivia question. I figured he could jot down a question on one of his extra napkins while snacking through the day. |
| Oct. 11, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Wow... You guys are tough.. I think Wood might be right (that's a rare event) and we should either let Stoneman decide who gets the next question or one of the guys that got one of his questions correct should.. My napkins don't absorb ink. Real funny Pete.. docswear |
| Oct. 11, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | NO - no - I said "extra napkin" - not one you've already used.......... |
| Oct. 11, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Ok, the commissioner will make a ruling........ Stoneman is totally out of control. First off, this is TV Trivia. He asked three questions, and some were not related to television! And there is some confusion to which post is going now. This is it. Ignore the other post that says Trivia 4. And I am awarding the wood the next question. You are up sir. The Commish |
| Oct. 12, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Mark IV produced many TV shows back in the 50, 60 and 70s. At the end of each of their episodes there would be a guy with a hammer stamping in the letters of 'Mark IV on a wall'. We could only see his rather muscular forearm and fist holding the hammer. This guy was also in an action series that lasted quite a while. What was/is his name? BW |
| Oct. 12, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Wood... in spite of getting PeteD involved in your harassment of myself, you do occasionally ask good trivia questions. Unfortunately, I believe the company was actually Mark VII... The hands, I think, were none other than good old Jack Webb? If I am wrong, I might spring for donuts in the morning... If I am right.... I like lemon-filled the best. (<. docswear |
| Oct. 12, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | D/S: Better ask the lovely bride for some WAM as you are definitely wrong. (WAM = walking around money). You prefer lemon filled but your universe of 'acceptable input' encompasses much, much more. :-) additional hint: The action series was a one hour show each week night. I'll be leaving my office in 20 minutes and won't be back for 3-4 hours... so if I appear slow getting back to any responses, you'll know why. |
| Oct. 12, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Wow, great question! |
| Oct. 12, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Lou Ferrigno from the Incredible Hulk? |
| Oct. 12, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I don't have a clue. |
| Oct. 12, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | This was way before Lou Ferrigno's time. |
| Oct. 12, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Well the only other guy in that era was Peter Lupis from Mission Impossible that I can think of. Steve Reeves had killer arms but I don't think he ever did any TV. |
| Oct. 12, 2007 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | Popeye!!! |
| Oct. 12, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | PeteD.... I like your way of thinking on this.. The guy from Mission Impossible does make sense. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that they used Jack Webb's arms and that was his production company but, thinking about the size of the arms, that does not really make sense. Maybe an urban legend? Wood had best know... Not sure where to research this.. This is a good stumper. By the way.. just kidding about the Napkin thing. I just like to pull Woody's chain... (<. docswear |
| Oct. 12, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Docswear was right. Here is a link to the answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_VII_Limited |
| Oct. 12, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Peter Lupis is the correct answer... Pete D, the floor is yours...BW |
| Oct. 12, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | DocSwear: While I do believe that you Bruce From GA created the psuedo-wikipedia web site in short order, I have no choice but to relinquish the floor to you. While I mess with every chance I get, I honestly thought the hands belonged to Lupis. I will have a lemon-filled donut for you tommorow. Sorry, Pete D. :-) |
| Oct. 12, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | BW, I'm not that smart! I do like glazed donuts! |
| Oct. 12, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Wow BW that has to hurt... turning it over to Docswear. But, since he doesn't miss a donut, trivia question, or HR the odds were on him. Make mine a jelly donut - mmmmm |
| Oct. 12, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Turning it over to Doc is no big deal... buying him a jelly is not an imposition either... leading you guys down the wrong path does smart a bit... had Sherlock Fairchild not researched it a wrong would have endured.. BW |
| Oct. 13, 2007 dmike13 Men's 60 28 posts | WHO WAS THE STAR OF THE 50'S SHOW "MAN WITH A CAMERA". HINT, HE TURNED INTO A BIG ACTION STAR IN THE MOVIES. ALSO WAS A BIG WESTERN STAR. |
| Oct. 13, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | dmike13: I realize that my current credibility is right there with Charles Manson's press agent but shouldn't the floor belong to Krispy Kreme (aka Doc Swear)? After all, he did answer my question correctly as was confirmed by Bruce's link. PeteD: I did not provide Doc with the lemon filled this am as I ad promised. We were rained out (yes, in So Cal) so I got a reprieve. Don't ever under estimate the power of prayer. :-) BW |
| Oct. 13, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Docswear has control............ The Commish |
| Oct. 13, 2007 dmike13 Men's 60 28 posts | SORRY. WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. |
| Oct. 14, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Woody... I figure you stayed up all night doing a rain dance and praying for cloudy skys. You have just delayed the donut day a bit. Thanks for having my back and getting my questioning power reinstated. Can't trust anyone with the name Mike (<....... Here's one that any old superman fan should get. What was the name of the editor of the newspaper where Clark Kent worked and what phrase did he always use when he was angry??? good luck, docswear |
| Oct. 14, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Perry White always yelled "Great Caesar's Ghost" when he was excited. |
| Oct. 15, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Ken... absolutely! docswear |
| Oct. 15, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Okay, on Sky King, what were the names of the niece and nephew? |
| Oct. 15, 2007 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | Penny was the niece and, I believe, Clipper was the nephew. |
| Oct. 15, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Right you are. You're up. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | Back to "Leave it to Beaver", in the Pilot episode, who played Ward Cleaver (played by Hugh Beaumont in the series)? |
| Oct. 16, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Now your talking! It was played by Casey Adams. It was just shown on TV Land last week. It was weird watching Beaver's dad smoke cigarettes. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 boomer1 Men's 55 14 posts | Since we are on Leave it to Beaver....my favorite lines where Wally and Beaver are in the maternity ward looking at the new babies, Beaver: Wally, why do they put a window between us and the babies? Wally: Becasue they don't want everyone slobering on them Beaver..... |
| Oct. 16, 2007 DoubleL10 Men's 70 907 posts | Dbax- CORRECT! Not everyone even knows there was a pilot episode and not many know that Hugh Beaumont and Tony Dow were not in the "original" cast from the pilot. You're up! |
| Oct. 16, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Sorry for the delay. Been out catching bad guys all day. William Frawley, better known as Fred Mertz on I Love Lucy, was also in another 60's sitcom. Name it and his character. Extra points for naming his replacement and his character. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | My Three Sons... he was Bub, the boys' grandfather. Fred McMurray was their father but not Bub's son... do the math! :-) |
| Oct. 16, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | You are correct sir! William Demarest took over as Uncle Charlie. He was suppose to be Bub's brother. Go for it. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Now that doc Swear is neatly tucked into Hawaii (at least, I hope that he fits), I feel comforatable asking this question. In a TV series (mostly in the 50s) there was a guy named Jim Anderson (character name). What was the name of the show and what was his occupation? |
| Oct. 16, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | The name of the show was Father Knows Best, starring Robt. Young as Jim Anderson. I believe Jim sold insurance. Great show. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 jim16 Men's 65 180 posts | The sherrif on "Murder She Wrote" is a very talented softballer. I played many a game where he played short and I played third. He always said I taught him how to go into the hole. He was a former CHI White Sox farm hand. Does anyone out there know who he is? In 1976 thru 1980 I had a Southern Calif A ranked team with a 6'4" second basenman. He batted left and threw right. He was also a USC basketball scholarship. Anyone know who he is? I also had 2 buddies who always wore a cap with "CI" on it no matter what our team was named. They played a lot together in the valley, one was an oversized first baseman and the other a pint sized infielder and former college baseball player. The little one was a very talented player and would make some amazing plays. Both are better known for comedy. Anyone have a clue who they might be? If anyone can come up with the right answer for all three questions, without another post helping, I'll give a senior combat, any size to the winner. If you are the first to get any of the questions right, I'll award a pair of "Trump Leather Batting Gloves. They are, in my opinion, the best. If I dont have your size or color in Phoenix, I'll ship them to you. Jim |
| Oct. 16, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Jimbo: tom selleck was the 6' 4" 2nd baseman... I remember him playing with Dillon's in Pinole, Ca, in the '77 USSSA State Championship. Penn and Teller on the last question... I'm thinking Kurt Russell on the first one... I know that Jimmy Van Wyck was in the Twins organization. BW Ken: you got my question... the floor is all yours. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | There was a long-running show on in the fifties that depicted suburban life. The star of the show, and his neighbor, were always getting in trouble and he had a favorite saying - “WHAT A REVOLTIN’ DEVELOPMENT THIS IS”. I remember he was always in a hammock, lol. Name the show and lead character. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 jim16 Men's 65 180 posts | William Bendix on the life of Riley. The Wood, right on Selleck, wrong on the other two. They are all TV stars and the White Sox guy does a whole lot of voice over. He had a short run TV show in the 70's where he lost his job because he had knee surgery from a softball game. I was in the hospital with knee surgery at the time and he called me to make sure I didnt miss it. The other two guys are real pals and when you see them in an interview today, chances are they will mention baseball. CI stands for Coney Island..they are New Yorkers. The Wood gets a pair of the best batting gloves made. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Would the small guy be Billy Crystal? |
| Oct. 16, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | You got it Jim. Nice going, you're up. |
| Oct. 16, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Not Tony Danza.... |
| Oct. 16, 2007 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | I believe Ron Masak was the sheriff on Murder She Wrote. |
| Oct. 17, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Jim16, you are up. Please ask a TV Trivia question. The Commish |
| Oct. 17, 2007 jim16 Men's 65 180 posts | Wow! You guys are pretty good. BIlly Crystal is a pretty good softball player. I have a video tape of him playing second base where he goes into the hole, comes up with the ball, spins completely are and fires a strike to the first baseman. The first baseman in this game was Al White, Hall of Famer and absolutely one of the greatest players ever. He has passed and is missed but he had a whole lot of talent. However, in this game he dropped the throw. In that same game, Billy hit a long fly ball to left field that Mike Lorden, tremendous Southern Calif player, made an over the head diving catch to rob Billy. Billy is pretty small but he hit that one about 290 feet. Rob Reiner was Billy's runnung mate on the softball field and Rob played first base and really enjoyed playing. It was a fun time when they got together. Lecak gets a pair of batting gloves along with Wood AND stattad. Ron Masak played slowpitch in the San Fernando Valley for years and was an accomplished player. His voice is heard in commercials doing voice over and he had quite a few parts on the tube, the best was the sherrif for Murder She Wrote. If you 3 will email me your address I'll send out the batting gloves. My last question and it will also be a softball question with a relationship o TV. There is a former Boston Celtic and Chicago Cub who was a TV star as well. I was fortunate to have been in his home because I played softball with his son. His son was a very good softball player and he played on my team for a couple of years. He was about 6'5" and hit with power. First guess the father and if you can tell me the sons name, another pair of batting gloves will go out. My email is jimcary16@hotmail.com put glove size in the email |
| Oct. 17, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | The father is the Rifleman, son don't know sorry. To wood or Jim16 do either of you recall ever palying against Sam Cunningham (USC) in the early to mid 80's? I seem to recall him being a first basemen. Very hazy back then I was in a perpetual deadhead fog. |
| Oct. 17, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Jim: I played with Steve Connors as well (Sagebrush Cantina, 1981). his dad was Chuck (aka The Rifleman). He also played with the Brooklyn Dodgers. My email address is awtgroupsc@aol.com Lecak: I never played against him but I did play against Anthony Munoz... before he became a huge star at SC and then in the NFL. He was more than just a big guy. |
| Oct. 17, 2007 jim16 Men's 65 180 posts | Bob, you are too smart for me. Steve and I worked together for a while too. I played some for Ron Rubenstein and Sagebrush too. BTW, Ron is with Victory, a really quality softball/baseball pant company. I spoke with him earlier this year. Am email is on the way to you to get your shipping address. |
| Oct. 17, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Since the wood answered the question completely, he has the floor. Sorry Joe! The Commish |
| Oct. 17, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Jim: Knowing Ron and Steve doesn't make me smart... perhaps quite the opposite. :-) Thanks in advance for the batting gloves. Ron is a client and friend of mine. We have bought some goods from him over the years... AIS, and now Victory, sell a lot of pants to the baseball minor leagues. Steve used to work for a SF Valley bank in the early 90s. I lost track of him after Ron's 50th birthday party, sometime in the mid 90s. DBAX: In the Life of Riley series, what street did Chester A and Peg live on... as well as Gillis and Honey Bee? The first name of the street is sufficient... it doesn't matter whether it's road, lane, way, etc. BW |
| Oct. 17, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | I don't know for sure, but the obvious answer would be Easy St. Worth a try, lol. |
| Oct. 18, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Nyet! additional hint: the street name contains a color... |
| Oct. 18, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Bluebird? |
| Oct. 18, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | You're half right. The correct answer is 1313 Blue View Terrace... you only had to answer the street name, not the number or the last word. Go ahead and take the floor as I might not be available for a while. BW |
| Oct. 18, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Okay, there was a show about a guy who sailed the South Pacific (late 50's early 60's), solving everyone’s problems and bedding a bevy of beauties. I need the name of the show, and the character's name. (extra credit for the name of the boat) |
| Oct. 18, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Adventures in Paradise... Gardner Mc Kay as Adam Troy on the Tiki. |
| Oct. 18, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Holy Crap! The Wood says he isn't going to be around for awhile, then nails the whole question! |
| Oct. 18, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | It was merely a head fake, my man. Assuming the floor is mine, here is the next question... Adam Troy was the character in the last question... he was a decorated war hero. Which war? I really will be gone for a while now... :-) |
| Oct. 18, 2007 Ken Men's 55 462 posts | Korean war. |
| Oct. 18, 2007 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | No, it was WWI... Adam Troy looked really young for his age. Just kidding... Yes, it was the Koren war and it's your floor. BW |
| Oct. 18, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2100 posts | Ken. post the next question on TV Trivia 5. The Commish |
