  1. This commercial has just started airing on TV over here. It's for price comparison website moneysupermaket.com and stars David Soul and the Gran Torino. The other guy (who is a regular on their commercials) is Iranian stand-up comedian Omid Djalili, who has also been in movies like 'Gladiator' and 'The Mummy'.

     

  2. Points to MaryAnne, Roger and Daney there. Jeannie Wilson played Mary Kaye Porter and Laura Bardsley, although she was credited as Jeanne Wilson when she played Mary Kaye. According to IMDb she was Miss Texas in the 1968 Miss USA Beauty Pageant.

    Q. In 'The Meeting', Black Jack Bender asks Daisy for some coins to use the payphone, hands her some money, and tells her to keep the change. What value note did he give her?:

    A) $1

    B) $5

    C) $10

    D) $20

    E) $50

    F) $100

  3. We've reached a milestone today (I don't think there's a metric equivalent to that :)). A large portion of the credit must go to Roger who has asked the most questions, and still plays along answering mine. Thanks also go to all the other members who've asked and answered questions. This thread is getting about 100 views a day due to your participation.

    I'll post a new question in a few hours.

  4. Sometimes a line from Dukes reminds me how far we've come in 30 years. In 'Officer Daisy Duke' Enos is explaining to Daisy about the new directive from Washington when he says:

    "This here Equal Opportunities law says that the sheriff's office has gotta open jobs for ladies now, just like regular people."

    This time I am sure that is the song title...at least according to Youtube. ;)

    At least it made me smile :) (<- see that's me). There are still a couple more Johnny Cash songs with 'Train' in the title.

  6. Desperado - Johnny Cash

    Another cover by Johnny Cash, this time of The Eagles, and also on American IV: The Man Comes Around.

    Another Johnny Cash song. Has a haunty and sad sound to it. One of his newer songs. Remember when this song came out and the controversy that it brought because it was either wrote or produced by a rap singer. I do like the song, but found it odd that a country artist would turn to a rap singer -the two genres seem to be as different as can be from one another. My opinion of course. ;)

    The

    was written by Trent Reznor and recorded by his industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails on their album The Downward Spiral. I actually went to see them live on that tour.
  7. Beep Beep - The Playmates

    I'm playing the single word repeated rule :). This is the original US version about a Cadillac and a Nash Rambler. The UK version was about a limousine and a bubble car (I don't think the BBC would play the song with a brand name in it - this was 1958). Sonny Shroyer does a very funny version of this song about a Cadillac and a Volkswagen. It's so 'Enos', but I can't find a video anywhere. Here's a link to Amazon where you can listen to a short clip of his version.

  8. I think it was Ira Murkins but I'm not sure. I know when they went and discovered his grave it looked like the same building (in the background) where the million dollars was burned on "Money to Burn"

    Looks like you're the only one playing this one Roger. You're not quite right, but I'd have to give you at least half points, if not three quarters, because the answer is Ira Murchison (1897-1979). I'll have to check out the building, but it's quite possible. Various sets were redressed to make them look different.

    Q. In 'Treasure of Hazzard', Laura Bardsley was played by an actress who appeared in another episode of Dukes. Which other character did she play?.

  9. Well I'd rather have a good time than a bad time ;).

    How right you are Garrett. I've already had 'Good Times' by Edie Brickell, so here's another song with the same name, this time it's a disco/funk classic :-P.

    Just saw a commercial last week, can't think what it was for, but they had this song on and they were doing the line dancing as well.

    Is this the one you mean?:

    GE Ecomagination Line Dance Commercial

  10. This has nothing to do with the Patsy Cline song of the same name :). It's hard to believe that this song is 20 years old - how time flies. If you want a recommendation, one of the recent YouTube comments was "i am a beer drinking redneck and this song is baaaad a:censored:".
