TV trivia challenge: name the show from the minor character

[QUOTE=Steve Wright]
In a not dissimilar vein:

Tanya Alexander

Nina Barry

Lieutenant Ninety

Kyrano
[/QUOTE]

These are all Gerry Anderson characters, I think. Nina Barry is from UFO, and Kyrano is from Thunderbirds. Don’t remember the other two, I’m afraid…

[QUOTE=Dooku]
Mine still unanswered:
Molly Turgis

New one from me:
Larabee
[/QUOTE]

Larabee was the Chief’s assisstant on Get Smart!
Dr. Mary Kirkish

Mike Gambit

Since everyone of my previous characters has been answered correctly, I give you all a really tough one. Good luck!

This is a toughie:

Mike Gambit was on “The New Avengers,” if I recall correctly. Worked with Purdy for John Steed.

I guess nobody’s got Art Donovan yet, so I’ll bring him up again. Maybe another clue would help: late 70s-early 80s.

Isn’t that the band that Vanessa Huxtable travelled out of state to see, against her mother’s wishes? I’d never seen Claire Huxtable so angry!
[/QUOTE]

The band Vanessa snuck out to see was “the Wretched.” She and her friends drove to Baltimore to see them. There is no good reason for me to know that.

Eugene Belvin

For some reason, “Belvin” happened to flash through my mind yesterday. He was the nerd who occasionally showed up on Happy Days. IIRC, he had a brother or cousin named Melvin.

Arg! It’s on the tip of my tongue. I want to say Cosby (for some reason I hear it in Theo’s voice??) or A Different World ??
[/QUOTE]

He was Theo’s best friend. In the episode where they decide to shave their heads to get in a music video, Cockroach goes through with it, while Theo gets stopped just after covering his head in shaving cream.

Already revealed to be Gerry Anderson characters, is Lieutenant 90 one of the round robots from Terrahawks?

What about Miss Nance?

These are only difficult because they’re so freakin’ old (as am I):

Hamilton Burger
Chief Kowalski
Millie Helper
Lumpy Rutherford

Dave, anyone?

MacSpon was dead on with Nina Barry and Kyrano; Lieutenant Ninety is from something a lot older than Terrahawks, I’m afraid. (Yes, they’re all from Gerry Anderson shows; two puppetry, two live-action.)

I think I remember every episode with the diving bell would feature the line “Crack the hatch Kowalski!” Usually after someone in a strangely decorated diving suit attacked it :stuck_out_tongue:

Easy but I’ll throw it in regardless, Mr Kyle :slight_smile:
