Garry Marshall?

  1. Person #5 produced a TV show? What show?

Murphy Brown

  1. That show starred a director. Who?

Grant Shaud…
That’s as far as I got…

Wait, Grant Shaud was a producer, not a director…

Correct up till here. For number 2 I would have accepted CK Dexter Haven.

Correction on #6: Should be Executive producer.

K then:

  1. Person #5 produced a TV show? What show?

Laverne & Shirley

  1. That show starred a director. Who?

Michael McKean?

So close, and yet so completely incorrect.

Wait!

Ron Howard

  1. What’s he on now? As who?

Scott Baio. Chachi

  1. Who loved him?

Joanie

  1. Played by whom?

Erin Moran

Oh and the only video I can think of that I ever saw Erin Moran in was that Weezer video that came on my Windows 98 CD… Buddy Holly?

Dunno if that counts though, and either way, I’m stuck completely now.

Much like GOB, you’re on fire. Carry on.

Hint on #13: The music video also starred Marion Ross, Florence Henderson, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland, Adam Rich, Butch Patrick, Ron Palilo Corey Haim, Fred “Rerun” Berry, and the still luscious Maureen McCormick.

Gah, I’m hopelessly stuck. I’ve apparently not seen this movie on DVD (if at all) because I check out all special features and I’m pretty sure I’d remember that one…

OK, except for Ross and Henderson, what did (past tense) all of those other people have in common? Formerly?

It’s Nucking Futs!

  1. That actress was recently in a music video. On what DVD was it a special feature?

Dickie Roberts, Former Child Star?

  1. Who starred in that movie?

David Spade

  1. Who played a director in that movie?

Rob Reiner?

  1. The person from #14 starred in what TV show?

Just Shoot Me

and assuming I’m right, I’m stuck again… Unless David Spade has been on a series other than Just Shoot Me, and I can vaguely seem to remember Elliot having a brother, but I can’t for the life of me remember who played him…

Oh dear, the actor who played the brother is key. Young, balding, and clueless.

  1. Donny
  2. David Cross
  3. Arrested Development
  4. Portia De Rossi (sp?)
  5. Ally McBeal

and that’s all I got so far

Carry on.

Ally thought about dating him. Nell did.
