Name the movie (or TV show) from these three characters

  1. Veronica Mars
  2. Ellen (?) – wasn’t there an Oliver in Ellen?

Right! I don’t suppose the coming out of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward wears too well 50-odd years later.

I don’t know! :slight_smile: The media I’m thinking of is (a) a television series, (b) Canadian, and (c) currently airing. If that helps. It’s a little obscure, but I hope some Dopers have seen it – it’s well worth watching.

here’s some more (the ones I knew from TL’s batch were answered already)

any1: Adrian, Natalie, Leland
any2: Thelma, Vinton, Naomi
any3: Max, Ron, Phil

  1. Kirk, Spock, McCoy - er, um, that show with that space ship and the guy with the ears
  2. Adam, Hoss, Little Joe - some dumb western that Michael Landon was in before “Little House”
