New Game


Recommended Posts

Hi ya'll! I have an idea for a new game we can play. I have seen this done before, but thought it might be fun to do here, if anyone is interested.

What we do is start with and actor, actress, director, screenwriter, someone like that. Then we have to tie them to the Dukes in the end.

I'll start it. How can we get from Jack Webb (producer and actor) to the Dukes?

Sorry Roger, I meant to explain it better! :(

Let me give you the connection between Jack Webb and the Dukes:

- Jack Webb produced and stared in Dragnet

- Kent McCord played Officer Jim Reed in Adam-12, but also guest stared on Dragnet as his character from Adam-12

- Marco Lopez played Officer Sanchez in Adam-12, then went on to be Firefigher Marco Lopez on the show Emergency!

- Michael Norell played Captain Hank Stanley on Emergency! then went on the be a screenwriter, notably for the movie Christmans Comes to Willow Creek

- This brings us to the Dukes, this is the movie Tom Wopat and John Schneider stared in, of course the stars of Dukes of Hazzard

I hope this isn't confusing any one. I thought this would be fun to see how much we really know about TV in general, and see how well we can tie into DoH!

-Jack Webb was Sgt. Friday in Dragnet.

-Harry Morgan played Bill Gannon in Dragnet.

-Harry Morgan was also Colonel Sherman T. Potter in M*A*S*H.

-Both Sorrell Booke and Rick Hurst guest starred in episodes of M*A*S*H. That brings us to Dukes.

Good MM! That's what I'm looking for! Actually I had forgotten about that connection. The reason I went through Emergency! was because it struck me as cool that one of the actors from one of my favorite shows wrote a movie with actors from my other favorite show! (Confused now? Okay, sorry! :) )

Here is your next challenge:

Can you get from Jerry Seinfeld to the Dukes of Hazzard? I was able to in about 5 steps.

How about:

Jerry Seinfeld voiced 'Barry B. Benson' in 'Bee Movie'.

Jeff Altman voiced 'Uncle Carl' in 'Bee Movie'.

Jeff Altman was 'Hughie Hogg' in Dukes.

Cool! I didn't realize that Jeff Altman did a voice over in that movie. Love the way you got there Hoss! Good job!

I got there a different way. Here is how I go to it:

- Brad Garrett had a guest spot on Jerry Seinfeld's show Seinfeld.

- Doris Roberts was a co-star with Brad Garrett on Everybody Loves Raymond. She was a guest on St. Elsewhere.

- Ed Begley Jr was a regular on St. Elsewhere and made a guest appereance on MASH.

- Robert Alda was a guest on MASH and made a DoH guest appereance.

Any one else want to find a connection?

I'm sure impressed by you folks.

I only had one channel growing up so I missed a lot of shows. It was an NBC affiliate. I had to go to my grandparents house every Friday to watch Dukes.

I doubt I'll be able to get any of these but I'm enjoying being a spectator on this thread!

Glad you're enjoying it Roger! I love TV!

Here is the next challenge:

Can you get from Anne B Davis to the Dukes?
