While I was doing some decluttering around the house I came across some TV and Movie trivia. If you guys and gals would enjoy it we can have a little fun here and see who knows the most about TV and Movies


Question 1. What was the name of Steven Spielberg's first full-length film?

Jaws?

:wow sign: Cool Thread!

Nope! It wasnt Jaws....but that was a good guess....Keep guessing!!

Duel (1971)

I googled "steven spielberg's first full length film", and the answer I see is..... The Sugarland Express. But that was made in 1974. I see that Lissa found one in 1971.

Very Good Lissa....You answered correctly. Deul was indeed Steven Speilburgs first movie.

Next Question: What science fiction drama became the most-watched TV movie in history when it aired on November 20, 1983?

Current Score Lissa - 1 B)

Was it "ET"???

I believe it was

"The Day After" on ABC with an estimated audience of 100 million.

Very Good Miss Patti..You are correct!!!!

I will post the next question later today. I am running late for work now lol...then we are headed ot the Marshall WVU basketball game tongiht so it might be late tonight or tomorrow before I can get back on line ...I will do my best though!!!

This one took a lot of research and I am not sure if I have it yet....
Firstly, Jodie owned and managed a production company...Bogie also managed a production company, but I couldn't find anything like that on Brooke. The one thing I did find in common was MODELING.

We remember (some of us) the Jodie Foster "bare bottom" Coppertone commercial....and of course the Brooke Shields "Nothing comes between me and my Calvin's" ad campaign. I read that a portrait of the infant Bogie was used in ads for a popular baby food during the turn of the century. Therefore my answer is Modeling.

I hope that is right and if it isn't...I am VERY intersted to see what the connection is. This is cool thread Steve!

Man o Man!!! Woo Hoo! I am so impressed...You got it right...well except for the Brooke Fields part but it was close enough...

They were ALL models as babies...

Humphrey Bogarts mother Maud Humphrey was a commercial aritst and had his face on baby food labels and other advertisements.

Jodie Foster showed off her tan lines as the Coppertone Kid

Brooke Shields was the Ivory Snow baby. However, I like the Calvin Klien connection too. I had forgotten about that one.

Good job JDubya!

Next Question: What actor played the lead in the radio version of GUNSMOKE, but lost the role when the series moved to the small screen?

William Conrad

Excellent Chadley!

William Conrad was the original Matt Dillon. However, they did not think that he "looked the part" when the show went to tv. So, they recast that role with James Arness. William Conrad is better known to most people from the show "Cannon"

Next Question: Gavin Mccloud was a regular on three TV shows between 1962 and 1986. What were those show and the names of the characters that he played?

wow...not a clue here....even after much googling....the closest guess I can muster is a Cadbury Doody Bar.....




:Bobo: ummm, no thank you please

Each kid in the peanut gallery would receive THREE things....Keep thinking....let me know when your ready for hints...

A hat, a balloon, and a candy bar? Sounds like there might have been pins as well...

Good try CanChik....You got 1 out of the three....each person in the peanut gallery did receive balloons...

Now we will have 2 items left....What were they? Hmmmmmm

tootsie roll?

one web page said this.....

"Loved the hats, the balloon and the 3 Musketeers that we got after the show. However, I do remember being told that "if you wave at your Mom - you won't get anything."

One girl said she got a balloon, Snickers bar, and a jar of Ovaltine



sounds like whoever was the current sponser was the gift giver
