It’s been many years since I last watched the show. I looked up the cast on IMDB and realized I was confusing the show with _The Big Valley_; I remember watching Lee J Cobb as a judge, but thought his costars were Barbara Stanwyck, Lee Majors, and Richard Long. Compound this with my love of _The Simpsons_ and the character of Troy McClure, who is an amalgam of Troy Donohue and Doug McClure. . ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > IQs: > > 1. Is the oldest prison in California named after you? Well, that didn’t take long! Yes, I am St Quentin, patron saint of bombardiers, chaplains, locksmiths, porters, tailors, and surgeons (a rather strange portfolio). Your third DQ was Q. DLR’s third was a different Q, and I think his second was Quint(?). knoodler’s first two were Quanah Parker and Quincy. No idea on the others. ---
