Miles, Don't you think you should pass and let some of these new people get into these questions? Maybe they have subjects that are more current that they would like to post. We old boomers maybe should just give them a break, what do you think? (BTW--I tried to PM you, but your account must be full up.)😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebs and occassionally Fauserlitz and Star are our age and yet they are not playing these threads even though they use to. I find that puzzling, well, maybe not so puzzling .

Well, I think we've done a really good job in trying to use all of our interests and experiences. But maybe nobody else is interested in stuff that we like. Right now I'm rewatching WB TV series like 77 Sunset Strip, Bourbon Street Beat and Surfside 6.😍 Lav, I still think there are some other younger, newer people a foot. But we can soldier on.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Princess, You posted the question on Saturday. I could have posted my answer then, but I waited three days hoping for someone else to finish the answer. It became apparent to me that no one was stepping forward, so I finished it off. If You, Lavender, and I all leave the thread open, I'm afraid it will just remain dormant for a very long time. I wish we had a way of recruiting trivia players, but maybe some will try answering soon. Here is what I consider a rather easy question. Let's see if someone gets it in the next day or so. The TV show "The Partridge Family" was based on a real family and their band which had the mother and the kids performing. Who was that family?

MilesArcher Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 You are correct, Uncle Charlie. The Cowsills were a family musical group from Rhode Island. Some of their other hits included "Indian Lake" and "The Rain, The Park, And Other Things". They also provided the theme music for "Love American Style" for the first season of the show. Uncle Charlie, it's good to see that you survived that fall from the train. Nice work. You get to post the next question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Thanks Uncle Charlie Next This actor was in a successful tv comedy in the 1960's, another successful comedy series in the 1970's and another in the late 1970's into the late 1980's. In the first 2 tv shows he was not billed as the lead but was part of the cast. In the last tv show, he was billed as the lead. What were his 3 hit tv shows and who was he ???? Extra credit for the names of the Oscar winner in one show and the Oscar nominee in another show ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 On the tv show he had the starring role in, there were usually 3 stories going on, a comedy, a romantic story and one that had drama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavenderblue19 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 The first comedy in the 1960's starring an Oscar winner ( he's not the one the question is about ) was on ABC, the 2nd hit show starring an Oscar nominee ( again, not the one the question is about ) in the 1970's was on CBS, the 3rd hit show 1970's - 1980's that this actor had the starring role in was on ABC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesArcher Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 It must be Gavin MacLeod. In the sixties he was one of the crew in "McHale's Navy" which starred Oscar winner Ernest Borgnine. In the seventies he played Murray Slaughter, the news writer on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". Mary was an Oscar nominee. The last show, where he was billed as the lead was "The Love Boat" where he played Captain Merrill Stubing. It's funny that I thought of this answer after seeing Mary Tyler Moore in an episode of "Wanted: Dead Or Alive" just this afternoon. She played a saloon girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting l had already posted this question and then I watched a program about The Love Boat. They interviewed quite a few asking about Gavin MacLeod, everyone raved about working with him, especially Mary Tyler Moore]. I remember all the boys in my elementary school class watched McHale's, not so much the girls. Everyone watched the MTM show, Murray was a great character. The Love Boat was a fun show, especially when all the golden age actors would show up. Ginger Rogers, Ann Miller, Ethel Merman, Ernest Borgnine, Van Johnson, the list goes on and on. Great thinking Miles, your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
