MilesArcher Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 That would be People magazine, featured in the show "The Name Of The Game". The show was adapted from one of the first made for TV movies, "Fame Is The Name Of The Game". The movie starred Anthony Franciosa. He was one of the rotating stars of the TV series, along with Robert Stack and Gene Barry. Susan St. James was also a regular cast member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Miles, YES you are correct. the tv show was The Name of The Game and PEOPLE Magazine was the publication that hit the stands 6 years after the name PEOPLE Magazine was the magazine the show was about. Sorry for the delay, forgot about this one. Thanks and the thread is yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 A character on a children's TV show had a dog named Mighty Manfred. The character's arch enemy was a villain named Crabby Appleton. Who was this character, and on what show did he appear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorites when I was a little, Tom Terrific and of course Captain Kangaroo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Yes, it was Tom Terrific from "Captain Kangaroo". New York Mets fans may remember that pitcher Tom Seaver was nicknamed "Tom Terrific". Once again, Lavender, you are correct. Good job! Now it's your turn to post the next one.

lavenderblue19 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Thanks Miles This guy wrote novels, screenplays, created tv shows. One of his novels, was turned into a noir. Years later a tv show created by the same guy had the main character have the same profession as the main character in the noir (and his novel) and the same name (first and last). The tv show was hit. Writer, Film and the TV Show and the name and profession of the lead character in all 3 (novel, film, tv show) ????????????

MilesArcher Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Is it Roy Huggins? He wrote the screenplay for a noir called "I Love Trouble" that starred Franchot Tone as detective Stu Bailey. It was based on one of Huggins' own stories. Years later, Huggins created the Tv show "77 Sunset Strip" with Efrem Zimbalist Jr. as detective Stu Bailey. Huggins also created the TV series "The Rockford files" as well as "Maverick", both of which starred James Garner. He also created the TV series "The Fugitive" as well as the hit movie of the same name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You covered all the points I gave in the clues Roy Huggins was a very important contributor to Retro TV. He created so many shows that we love. He wrote many screenplays for films. The noir, Too Late For Tears starring Lizabeth Scott was another.It was based on the stories he wrote for the Saturday Evening Post. Very interesting and talented man and should be remembered.

MilesArcher Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 On the original "Lassie" TV series, George Cleveland played the part of Gramps. He died during the run of the show and his role was eventually given to another veteran character actor, although this new character was not called Gramps. Who played this new character and what was his character's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesArcher Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 You are correct, Lavender. George Chandler appeared in literally hundreds of films in a fifty year career, including the classic short "The Fatal Glass Of Beer" with W.C. Fields. Nice work, Lav. You're next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shutoo Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Sounds like Betty Lynn, best known as Barney's girlfriend on The Andy Griffith Show. I remember her as the younger daughter who ends up being the June Bride (but I didn't think she was bratty...so I may be on the wrong track). She also had parts in Fox films Cheaper by the Dozen and Apartment for Peggy, and handful of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
