Rutger Haeur was the star of that movie, and Gene Simmons (of KISS fame) was the terrorist/bad guy)

'The Immortal' Starred Christopher George as the guy with the special blood, and Barry Sullivan as the old, dying millionaire looking to 'transfuse' his blood to live longer. They were both also looking for C.George's brother who was suspected of having the same type of blood. This created a very 'Fugitive' style program.

I love trivia about old shows.

Here's a few for you experts out there.

Who remembers a show about three high-tech secret agents/private investigators working for the 'Probe' agency? Each episode starred one of the three main rotating characters. The three agents were played by Hugh O'Brian, Doug McClure and Tony Franciosa.
The head of the agency was played by Burgess Merideth, assisted by Gretchen Corbett.
Whats the name?

The show about the paramedics was 'Emergency!, starring Randolph Mantooth as paramedic 'John Gage', and Kevin Tighe as paramedic 'Roy DeSoto'. They worked in LA, thier 'home base' hospital was 'Rampart', and thier truck was known as 'Squad 51'.
This show was a spin-off of 'Adam 12'. What always struck me as annoying about this show was that the music was by the same guy who did the music for the 'Batman' show, and it sounded very similar. Kinda distracting, but otherwise, I loved that show!

Bonus points: What show was 'Adam 12' a spin-off of?

'The Second Hundred Years' starreed Monte Marklham as the title character as well as his own great-grandfather who was recently found frozen-for-a-hundred-years-but-still-alive. Not too good, as I recall.

Who played the '7 Million Dollar Man'. This should stump a few.

Name the THREE actors to have played 'Rudy Wells' in the 'Six Million Dollar Man'.

This is a tough one, for sure: What is the only character OTHER than 'James T. Kirk' that William Shatner ever played on the 'Star Trek' TV show.( I'm not reffering to any of the body-switching stuff either)

Who was all set to star as 'Michael Knight' in 'Knight Rider', but lost out at the last minute to David Hasslehoff? (This guy later went on to be very famous on a couple of other shows)

Who remembers these shows?

Tenspeed and Brownshoe

Feather and Father Gang

The Highwayman

What was the name of the prestidigitator who drove around in his '76 white Corvette (license plate 'SPIRIT') solving crimes? And what was the name of the show? (here's a hint: Mark Wilson was the shows consultant)

Who starred in the 'Barbary Coast'

What does the 1/2 hour show 'Call to Danger' have in common with 'Mission:Impossible'?

Before George Clooney starred in the drama 'E.R.', he was a star of a sit-com set in a hospital. What was the name of that show?

Who lost out the role of 'Batman' to Adam West at the 'last minute'?

Was 'M.A.S.H' patterned after the Korean war or the Viet-Nam war?

Who is 'Ed Straker', and what does 'S.H.A.D.O.' stand for?

A detective show from the late 60's/ early 70's had the star driving around in a custom Mustang. In fact, it was one of the two proto-type 1970 'Composite Mustangs'( also known as the 'Quarter Horse') that had the Shelby body work on it, and a BOSS 429 engine in it. One of the two cars was donated to the show by Ford. What was the name of the show, and who starred in it?

Who was the voice of the following:

'Jonny Quest'

'Shaggy' on Scooby-Do

'Velma' on Scooby-Do

Jeannie's 'master' on the 'I Dream of Jeannie' cartoon

Why did 'Speed Racer' have a big 'G' on his shirt?

Dragnet.

Steve McQueen DID star in a movie called the 'The Hunter', and it was a semi-biographical version of the real life of bounty hunter Ralph 'Papa' Thorsen, who got kinda famous in the late 70's.(This was McQueen's second-to-last-movie, his last being the Kevin Costner-like 'Tom Horn')
This movie had a spin-off(of sorts)on the cable channel 'USA' network a few years ago called 'The Huntress', starring Annette O'Toole as Ralph Thorsen's widow who continued the bounty-hunter business with thier teenage daughter. I have no idea if this was just a complete rip-off or if there was any sort of 'truth' involved there.

That movie had nothing to do with the movie 'Wanted: Dead or Alive'.

William Shatner did play 'James Kirk' in a 'Parallel' show, but that would still be James Kirk, right?
In the episode 'Operation:Annihilate', he also played the corpse of his dead brother Sam in a breief 1-second scene. (he had on a big fake-looking moustache)

The MASH question was a trick: Even though the show was ostensibly set during the Korean war, the producers conciously made the show to purposely more closely resemble the Viet-Nam war, since that was the big controversial topic of the day. And, did anyone ever notice that MASH lasted for 11 years, while the Korean war only lasted for 8?

What do Karl Kolchak and Oscar Goldman have in common?

What was the name of the show that starred Andy Griffith as the owner of a junk yard, who,with the help of his daughter's husband (Joel Higgins of 'Silver Spoons' fame)built a fully functional rocket ship out of JUNK that they would regularly fly to...the MOON!
It was about the worst, most preposterous show ever!

Who is Stanley Beemish, and why does he sound so much like 'K.I.T.T. from 'Knight Rider'?

Who played Blake Carrington in 'Dynasty' for a few episodes before John Forsythe got the role?

Who plyed 'Roz' on 'Frasier' for the first few episodes before Perry Gilpen got the role?

Almost half of the scenes with 'Marty McFly' were filmed for 'Back to the Future', and then the actor was fired and replaced with Michael J. Fox. Who was the fired actor?

Who played 'Mork and Mindy's' baby son during the last season?

How about these rip-offs of sucessful shows:

Street Hawk, The Highwayman, Turboman, Cobra, Thunder in Paradise, and Viper...all rip-offs of 'Knight Rider.'

Acupulco Heat, Miami Hustle, Adventures of Black Jack Savage, The Agency, Q.B.-5, Riptide, Silk Stalkings and Night Heat... all more or less a rip off of 'Miami Vice'.

Who is credited with inventing the '3 camera sit-com'?

What was the first movie to use a 'steady-cam'?

In what year did the FCC give permission for
black and white television to proceed on a commercial basis? 1945

T.H.E.Cat...I think it starred Robert Loggia as a P.I., or maybe a high class cat burgler or something like that. I think that was his name. 'Thomas-something-somwthing, the CAT'. My memory fades...

Operation Bluebook I believe was actually called 'UFO: From the files of operation Blue Book'. But maybe not.

The Invaders....Cool show. Starred Roy Thinnes an architect named 'something Vincent' who witnessed a UFO landing late one night in an out-of-the-way abandoned area. The 'Invaders' were here to take over the planet by infiltrating important officials with thier evil twin 'dopplegangers', but you could tell who was an alien by thier crooked little fingers, or some stupid crap like that. He was trying to expose them for who they were, while at the same time they were trying to chase him down and kill him.

Who was the TV show 'Columbo' specifically develped for?

Who was supposed to star as Dirty Harry Callahan, but when he broke his wrist during the first day of filming, the movie was quickly re-cast with Clint Eastwood? This one is bizzaro!

'One Step Beyond' I don't remember ever watching, but wasn't that an anthology show, kinda like Twilight Zone or Outer Limits?

How about some car-action shows that didn't last long?

'Dog and Cat', starring Kim Basinger and the guy from Laverne and Shirley(Lou something, I think)

'B.A.D.Cats'...cops whose only job is to apparently chase down car thiefs in a beat-up old yellow and black 69 Nova SS. Pretty lame.

'High Performance'...a retired race car driver and his daughter, along with two other 'instructor' drivers, use the race-driving school as a cover for thier high-speed secret agent business. The daughter, of course, was the best driver of them all. The show was extremely stupid, but I watched every episode because I loved the actress who played the daughter...Lisa Hartman! She quit 'Knot's Landing' to do this show, and when it was quickly cancelled, she went right back to 'Knot's.

'Chase'...about a retired race car driver(again?)who ran a secret agent service(again???), with all his sons. One drove a motorcycle, another drove a big 4x4, one a 'copter, another a 'Vette...that kind of crap. Lame-o.

'Strike Force'...big car-action rip-off af 'Starsky & Hutch'. Terrible, but I do remember it starred Richard Gere.

Speed Racer's name in the original Japanese creation was 'Go Mifune', explaining the 'G'

Frank Sinatra as Dirty Harry would really have sucked.

'Columbo' was developed for TV as a starring vehicle for...Bing Crosby! That would have really, REALLY sucked!

Don Johnson was THIS CLOSE to playing 'Michael Knight', but David Hasslehoff won it.

Before John Forsythe was on 'Dynasty' as Blake Carrington, George Peppard had the role.

'Roz' on 'Frasier' was originally played by Lisa Kudrow of 'Friends', but it wasn't working out, and she was replaced by Peri Gilpen.

Here is a last one before I go to bed:

Who was the original captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701(the one from the original series).
Note that I am not referring to the first actor to play the captain or HIS name, but the name of the supposed VERY FIRST captain of the ship.(who has never been portrayed in any version of the show, only mentioned briefly)

Until tomorrow...

John, I knew someone would say that 'Christopher Pike' was the first captain of the Enterprise, and he is indeed the first captain 'portrayed' as a captain of the Enterprise.
However, the question is who is the VERY FIRST captain of the ship?
So I'm gonna have to give you a Bronx cheer for that one.

The first captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC-1701 was 'Robert April', who had her for seven years. At that point, 'Pike' took command for another eleven years ( at least), and then 'Kirk' got a hold of her, ultimately serving two 5-year missions.
After that, the ship was retired, refitted, and rechristened 'NCC-1701-A' and turned over to 'Will Decker', the son of 'Commodore Matt Decker', commander of the U.S.S. Constellation, who was killed in the original-series episode 'The Doomsday Machine'. Whew...

OK, Star Trek fans. Jeffery Hunter is only one of two actors to portray 'Pike'. Name the other actor.

OH Yeah Cobravenom? what's the answer to the Mustang prototype?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The composite Mustang was given to the TV show 'Dan August', starring Burt Reynolds

'Christopher Pike' was also played by Sean Kenney in the 2-part episode 'Menagerie' on the original Star Trek.
They used the original pilot-episode footage of Christopher Pike (Jeffery Hunter), and made a 'frame' to go around it with the then-current characters ( Kirk, et al...). When this episode was filmed, Hunter had recently passed away and was (obviously) no longer availible to reprise the role.
Sean Kenney somewhat resembled Hunter, so they gave him a massively disfigured face make-up job and put him in a goofy-looking remote control wheelchair, supposedly the victim of a 'Gamma Ray' blast. ( Those go**amn gamma-rays!)

Earlier, someone mentioned the 'Green Hornet'. His secret identity is Britt Reid, publisher of a big-city newspaper.
2 questions about the 'Green Hornet':

Who is Britt Ried's Grandfather?

Who played his side-kick 'Kato' on the 60's TV show?

4) 'CONTROL'
5) 'Chief'
What kind of car did the 'Chief' drive? All REAL Mustang fans should know this one!
6) Barbara Feldon
7) Hymie
8) KAOS

Maxwell Smart's nemisis Siegfried had an evil assistant named 'Stocker'. Who played him, and what other role was he most famous for?

Name Maxwell Smarts 3 cars he drove in the opening credits.

I am revising my opinion of the show with the most spin offs. I believe the record holder is 'All in the Family':

Maude
Mike & Gloria
Archie's Place
Jeffersons
and the Jeffersons spawned '227' starring Marla Gibbs, which is another indirect spin-off of 'All in the Family'.

Which actor has had a starring role in the most American TV series?

The 'Green Hornet/ Britt Ried's' grandfather is none other than 'John Ried', better known as the 'Lone Ranger'.

'The Girl from Uncle' starred Stephanie Powers as 'April Dancer'.

King Moody played 'Stocker' on Get Smart, but he is most famous for being the first, and longest-running actor to portray 'Ronald McDonald' in the TV ads.

The Chief on 'Get Smart' drove a 1969 Shelby GT-500 convertible. Blue with white stripes top and interior. The steering wheel was a giant telephone dial.

In the opening credits of 'Get Smart', Max originally drove a Sunbeam Tiger. It was later switched to a Volkswagen Karmahn Ghia.
The last season he drove an Opel GT.
(mind you, this was only on the opening credits. For some reason never explained, he always drove the Tiger in the actual episodes for the entire run of the series.)

And finally I believe the actor with the most starring roles in a TV series would have to go to.....Robert Urich.
1) Soap (The tennis instructor)
2) Tabitha (her boss, the talk show host)
3) S.W.A.T. (Officer Jim Street)
4) Vega$ (Dan Tanna, P.I.)
5) Gavillan (ex-CIA agent/mercenary)
6) Spenser: For Hire (Spenser)
7) American Dreamer (sitcom,with Carol Kane)
8) The Lazarus Man (Western)
9) The Love Boat:The Next Wave(The Captain)
10) Emeril! (Emeril's best friend)

Ten shows! That has GOT to be a record!

Can we get a round of cyber applause here for Cobravenom71? I think he has proven himself the undisputed king of tv and Movie trivia. I bow before thee sir, you are truly a champion among men.

I meant to say Skiles and Henderson as far as the kings of sound effects comedy. They originated the echo sketch you hear other comics doing once in a while.
Who else remebers them?

Nope, on the last question, but 2 out of three ain't bad. here's a little flash movie that reveals the answer. I think it's kinda cool. Good job on the Burns & Shriver too. Avery Shriver was the actor on My Mother the Car.

Burt Ward, 'Robin' from the 60's 'Batman' series had to turn down the role that eventually made a star out of Dustin Hoffman in 'Midnight Cowboy'.

'Perry Mason', as most know, was played by Raymond Burr. Most don't remember the 'New Perry Mason' show in the seventies starring Monte Markham as 'Perry'.

In the last episode of 'Barnaby Jones', the millionaire that Barnaby (Buddy Ebsen)is trying to find is...'Jed Clampett', played by none other than Buddy Ebsen!

Because of Davy Jones' popularity on the 'Monkees', the character of 'Ensign Chekov'( Walter Koenig) was added to the second season of 'Star Trek'.

Maxwell Smart's son was played by Andy Dick on the 'New Get Smart' show on Fox network in the early 90's.

The 'Flintstones' were inspired by the 'Honeymooners'. Thier original name was the 'Flagstones'.

Mr. Spock has three ears....a left ear, a right ear, and a final front ear.( 'final frontier'). Feel free to groan out loud.

Jack Lord was very close to playing the part of 'Captain Kirk' on 'Star Trek', but his demands for part-ownership of the show queered the deal for him.

Brian Dennehy played the part of 'Buford Pusser' in the TV series 'Last American Hero', a weak spin-off of the 'Walking Tall' movies.

The customized ( and oh-so-cool!)helicopter used in 'Airwolf' was not maintained properly while it was being used on the show.
When the show was cancelled, the custom bits were removed, and the helicopter was sold to a Scandanavian guided air-tour company.( it was just a passenger 'copter, after all)
On its very first flight after being delivered to the company, the avionics systems failed completely, and it crashed, killing all eight people on board.
A thorough investigation proved that the lack of maintenance on it was responsible for the failure.

'Starsky' was originally going to drive a yellow Z-28 Camaro, and one was even purchased for the filming of the pilot movie. Since the show was being pushed for a possible ( and eventual) series, Spelling-Goldberg were asked to produce ( they had the 'Midsas Touch' at producing hour long series' at the time).
All Spelling-Goldberg productions at the time had a product-placement deal with Ford, so it was decided to switch the car then to a Ford product. Plus, they had a couple of good candidates 'laying around'.

Speed Racer's MACH 5 produces 5,000 horsepower PER WHEEL(!), with an individual torque-converter at each wheel. Boy, that 'Pops Racer' is one hell of a car designer, huh?

'Twiki' was the annoying little robot that carried around 'Dr. Theopolis'( a Frisbee shaped disc with 'blinkies' on it hanging around his neck) on 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century'.

The TV show 'Toma' was retooled as 'Baretta', starring none other than our favorite, but confused wife-killer...Robert Blake.

'Wierd Harold' was the real name of the cockatoo that played 'Fred' on 'Baretta'.

Josh Randall's rifle was called 'Mare's Leg' on 'Wanted: Deador Alive'.

The 69 Charger on the 'Dukes...'was originally going to be called 'Traveller', the same name that General Robert E. Lee gave to his personal and favorite horse.
This was supposed to illustrate the 'southern' loyalties of the Duke boys'. When it was discovered that almost no one knew who the hell 'Traveller' was, it was decided to just be as obvious as can be, and the ended up naming the car 'General Lee'.
( I always wondered why there wasn't a big showdown with a car from 'up north-ways' called the 'U.S. Grant', or something like that.)

The shortest-lived TV series in history is'Fantastic Voyage', a sci-fi show from 1976.

Lloyd Bridges played 'Joe Forrester' on the show of the same name.

David Cassidy played the cop in 'Man Undercover'.( a pre-cursor to the theme of '21 Jump Street')

Time Tunnel was the show with Whit Bissell and Lee Meriweather.

The roles of 'Sam' and 'Diane' were specifically written for Fred Dryer and Julia Duffy. Test audiences hated them, so the roles were recast with Ted Danson and Shelly Long.
Fred Dryer went on to be famous as 'Rick Hunter', on 'Hunter', and Julia Duffy went on to star as 'Stephanie' on 'Newhart'.

'Spicoli' was to be played by Nicolas Cage(Nicolas Coppala at the time, Francis Ford Coppala's nephew). Since he could not work more than 4 hours a day( being a minor), the role went to Sean Penn.

The late Wally George was Rebecca DeMornay's estranged father.

I try to ask questions with interesting answers.

How about the 'Flash', back in the late 80's/early 90's? Very inspired by the success of 'Batman' with Michael Keaton, this TV show had the same 'look' to it.
I think that after the show was on the air, the producers figured out pretty quickly that having a guy who's only 'super power' is that he can run real fast doesn't present itself with very many ways to write an original show where the 'Flash' catches the bad guys with his 'super-powers'. Basically, it was nothing but a big red blur every week, and the bad guys ended up in cuffs(or ropes,nets,a box,a jail cell, etc...) looking around in confused wonderment saying "Wha...what happened? Where am I? How did I get here?".

How about 'Bakersfield P.D.'? Very funny show on Fox in the early 90's

And don't forget 'Cool Million', with James Franciscus( Or was it Tony Franciosa? I always get them confused)

'Chopper One' with Dirk Benedict and Jim McMullen?('Adam 12' in the sky, basically)

'240 Robert' with Mark Harmon and Joanna Cassidy? ( A rip-off af 'Emergency!)

'Then Came Bronson' with Michael Parks riding around the country on a motorcycle?(similar to 'Renegade').

'Make Me Laugh!', a game show starring Bobby Van as the host? VERY FUNNY!!

'Stingray' , starring Nick Mancuso as the very mysterious 'Ray', inexplicably driving around in his cool black 65 Vette helping people.

'Enos', the 'Dukes...' spin-off? ( by the way, has anybody ever noticed that the motorcycle cop who pulls Cledus Snow over in 'Smokey and the Bandit' is Sonny Shroyer, who played 'Enos'? You can't see his face because of the glasses and helmet, but the voice is a dead give-away)
( By the way-part #2. Sonny Shroyer is also the guy who played the 'Bear Bryant'-like football coach in 'Forrest Gump'.)

Does anyone remember 'Manimal'? Too stupid to even attempt a dscription beyond this: A guy who can turn into animals.

'When the Whistle Blows'?

'On The Rocks'?

'San Pedro Beach Bums'?

'He's the Chief'. This one just came to me, and I swear I am not making this up: A labratory-created super-intelligent monkey becomes the...President of the United States!
( wait a minute...didn't this happen in real life recently? I mean, without the 'super-intelligent' part?)

'The Prez'. A teenager wins the presidential vote by a landslide election from younger voters. I think it starred Robert Walker Jr. as the 'Prez'. All I remember about the show is a lot of tie-dyed shirts in the oval office, and a lot of curly, curly blonde afros. Kinda like the 'Hair Bear Bunch'

'Dusty's Trail'?..Nothing more than a carbon-copy re-tread of 'Gilligan's Island' in the old west on a wagon train starring 'Gilligan' himself...Bob Denver!

'Gemini Man' starring Ben Jones? (the invisible man shtick for about the millionth time)

'Exo-Man'?.. A quadraplegic builds an invincible suit of armor to go out and wreak vigilante-style justice on the creeps of society. The suit looked like a 1940's-era deep-sea diving suit. In other words...Stupid!

'Fish Police'? Stephen Bochko's deep-dark skeleton he hopes everyone will forget.
