Question: What was the first Beatle solo album?
Answer: Paul McCartney’s soundtrack to the film “The Family Way” (1966).
Why it’s a stumper: Most will guess Harrison’s “All Things Must Pass”(1970) or McCartney’s self-titled album from the same year. A few Beatle knowitall wiseguys (some no doubt on the SDMB) will maintain it’s Harrison’s “Wonderwall Music” (1968). McCartney’s soundtrack was the first album released by a Beatle completely self-composed and recorded without any assistance from the other three.
Question: What is the name of the theme song from “The Andy Griffith Show”?
Answer: “The Fishin’ Hole”
Why it’s a stumper: Most are surprised to hear that the song has a title other than “The Theme to the Andy Griffith Show.”
Don’t know the names of the cimce, but Mr. Wizard was rescuing a little boy turtle, and as soon as I went to reply, his names jumped out of my head–I can see the character, but the name is gone! Argh!
Name any actor from “High Chapperal” (moderate stump) or “Lancer”.
Name the show about astronauts that accidently went back in time. Or sing the theme song.
As for who Mr. Wizard (the lizard) retrieving – partial credit for Padeye and Kallessa. It WAS on the Tennessee Tuxedo show, but it was a seperate segment… Tutor Turtle (or Tooter – there’s disagreement as to which name is canonical).
As for the show about the astronauts who went back in time… Aieeeee! I used to sing that in grade school, fer chrissake! “Lost in time, lost in space, blah-blah-blah…” Now if I could only remember the name of it…
To answer SingleDad’s queries:
Charlie Brown’s dad was a barber
Underdog’s girlfriend was ‘Sweet Polly Purebred’
I… I… I don’t know! AIEEEEEEE!
Yes, I watched far too much TV as a kid. Why do you ask?
From “High Chapperal” - the guy played Big John Cannon was Leif Erickson, who also distinguished himself as Pete the River Rat in “Showboat”.
The only thing I remember of Lancer was that it was a cheap Bonanza rip-off. I have no idea of the character name, but an actor named James Stacy was in it… who also had an ensemble role in “South Pacific”.
I don’t know much, but I know musicals!
What actors, other than the seven regular cast members, made multiple appearances on Gilligan’s Island?
Describe (as best you can in this medium) the audio signal warning station house 51 that they had a call to respond to.
What monster hit song was subtitled “Exordium & Terminus”?
Very good! I would point out that Vito also had another role – he was the Japanese soldier with the coke-bottle-bottom think glasses, back in the days when such portrayal wasn’t considered culturally offensive. So he was the only actor actor to appear in different roles, as well as one of two to appear twice in the same role in different episodes.
I suppose, to be purely technical about it, there was one other - stuntman Val Prochaska appeared multiple times wearing an ape suit, whenever they needed an ape.
It’s about time
It’s about space
About strange people in the strangest place
…
It’s about two astronauts
And about their fate
they meet a prehistoric cavewoman
And her prehistoric mate
…
Where will they go
What will they do
As through the barrier of time they flew?
Past the Roman Senators
Past the armored knights
Past the something something
To our thoroughly modern sights
They will be here
With all of us
Dodging a taxi, a car, or bus
…
That’s the most I could come up with this morning.
Ok, screwed that post up. Haven’t had my morning beer yet. I guess I posted my reply for Touche Turtle right in the middle of a post without proofreading.
