Le Pop Culture Flotsam Quiz
Still working on the big entry, so, in order to fulfill my personal goal of an entry a week, here's this:
- Tom Hanks and John Candy co-starred in two movies together. Everyone remembers Splash!, name the other one. Extra credit: Name the Tom Hanks/Lori Singer/Jim Belushi vehicle.
- What was the AfterM*A*S*H equivalent to All In The Family?
- Nancy (Facts of Life) McKeon's brother Philip, starred in this sitcom. Extra credit: Name that sitcom's only spin-off.
- Continuing in the siblings-in-competing-sitcoms vein, Benson and Growing Pains shared sisters. Name them.
- Before Nick Cave's The Proposition, Tom Selleck starred in this Australian cowboy epic.
- Cheers spawned a spin-off revolving around waitress Carla's ex-husband, and starring Casey Kasem's wife. Name it.
- Enough TV. What was the chorus to M's Pop Musik?
- What's the deal with Kelis' Milk Shake?
- Beverly Hills Cop was originally pitched as a project for this star. Uber-Extra Credit: Relate how this is reflected in the sequel.
Considering this comes from the recesses of my geek lizard brain, I'm wishing you the best of luck. I suppose I couldn't stop you from going to Google.
Answers to be provided soon.

Ooh. I'm stumped on the blank ones. Here's a version of Pop Music you might enjoy, though.
P
(or another 'beige' one.
I'd like it known that I, also, knew the answers that JJ gave, but cannot now list them, as it would look redundant and pathetic.
I believe BHC was originally intended for Stallone. Brigette Neilson (or however the holy hell you spell that Amazonian freak-show's name) starred as one of the villains in the sequel, which, one might argue, is a reflection of the series' Stalloneosity.
I'm not so great with television, and I find you're better with pop obscurities (I do well with obscure pop, if the distinction makes sense). But here are my shots:
* Tom Hanks and John Candy co-starred in two movies together. Everyone remembers Splash!, name the other one. Extra credit: Name the Tom Hanks/Lori Singer/Jim Belushi vehicle.
--Volunteers and . . . is it The Man With One Red Shoe?
* What was the AfterM*A*S*H equivalent to All In The Family?
--Archie Bunker's Place
* Before Nick Cave's The Proposition, Tom Selleck starred in this Australian cowboy epic.
--Quigley Down Under
* Beverly Hills Cop was originally pitched as a project for this star. Uber-Extra Credit: Relate how this is reflected in the sequel.
--Stallone, I think; the question actually led me in that direction, 'cause I remember Brigitte Nielsen being in the sequel (hence the "reflection"). I keep coming back to Brigitte Nielsen this week: I'd listed Red Sonja as one of the most potently shitty movies of all time.
P.S. - I specifically avoided looking at previous posts, since I knew that, between Joe and JJ, much would have been covered already.
Just so we're clear . . .
For the answers to these questions, go here.
Prego! Thanks for the .mp3!
