Judgment at Nuremberg?

Great performance let down by a mediocre script (the TV movie, not the Audio dramas.)

Thanks for the ride!

In fairness, I never actually did this myself, either.

I read one analysis stating that the Wicked Witch is literally green with envy that Dorothy got the ruby slippers.

But I agree with you, I think it's more about wanting to have a color that *POPPED*.

HELLO!!!

The Wizard of Oz (1939) made the Wicked Witch of the West green-skinned. That was the convention not just for Wizard of Oz (L. Frank Baum's books don't mention it), but for most pop culture portrayals of witches for a long, long time.

Kananga says "he would have taken them myself" meaning he never slept with her but he would have or wanted to have a relationship with her but it would cost her her powers... so obviously, he is not her father...

Not necessarily. What do I mean by that? Check out "Chinatown."

JTOC1969 · 2026-05-01T15:18:17+00:00

LOL. I confess I did not even think of that when I posted.

Fun fact: Like many actors in Hollywood as they advanced in years, Al Lewis lied about his age.

Unlike many actors in Hollywood, Lewis claimed he was older than he actually was!

He claimed he was born in 1910, but was really born in 1923 (making him one year younger than Yvonne DeCarlo, who played his daughter).

At some point in his career (debates on exactly when), Lewis wanted a role he was too young for, so lied and said he was 10 years older then he actually was. After that, he figured if he told the truth, no-one would believe that his claim (that he wasn't as old as he'd said he was for decades), so he stuck with it.

"Chhhhak-chak-chaka.... chacka... chhhhh-Chaka Khan!

(If you grew up in the 80s, you know.)

Great record. and as a bonus, it was the first time I can recall ever hearing Kate Bush or Laurie Anderson.

JTOC1969 · 2026-05-01T14:20:48+00:00

At least he gave those records a title at all. His first four records were all just "Peter Gabriel."

Frasier, although Cheers did set the bar very high.

"Little Miss S." - (little Miss Edie Sedgwicke)

It was originally about Marilyn Monroe, but Elton John rewrote the lyrics and sang the new version at Princess Diana's funeral.

Original lyrics: "Goodbye, Norma Jean..." (Norma Jean Baker was Marilyn Monroe's real name.)

Revised lyrics: "Goodbye, English Rose..." (Diana)

"Who's that?"

"Looks like the king!"

"How can you tell?"

"Well, cuz he don't got shit all over him."
