This is the reverse of the Triad thread. Thanks to Matthew E for the idea.
The first poster (that'll be me) gives a catagory. The next poster has to fill in three examples. The answering poster does not have to have the same examples as the questioning poster, but should be able to show how the example fits the catagory if questioned. Then the answering poster gets to post the next catagory. The poster who starts the catagory has to be able to provide the three examples if everyone else gets stuck. (so no trying to stump people with an impossible catagory)
First Catagory:
Name three situation comedies in which a new child is introduced after a couple of seasons.
Posted by Matthew E on :
Well, I'm stretching the 'couple' of seasons, but...
- 'The Cosby Show', where Raven-Symone was added after a few years - 'Family Ties', where they had another son named Andrew after a few years - 'Diff'rent Strokes', where Danny Cooksey (as the son of what's-her-name from 'Designing Women') joined after a few years
Name three situation comedies (I know this isn't the all-sitcom thread, but the previous question reminded me of it), all starring the same actor, in which the actor's first name is the same as the character's first name in all three sitcoms. (I actually know of multiple correct ways to answer this question.)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Matthew,
You didn't stretch the "couple" of seasons qualifier. You actually got 2 of the shows I was thinking of. The third one I thought of was the Brady Bunch which introduced the infamous cousin Oliver.
As for your question, I did use the IMDB to Get the names of the series and see if I was right for the number.
One answer would be: 1) Mary Tyler Moore Show as Mary Richards 2) Mary Tyler Moore Hour as Mary McKinnon 3) Mary as Mary Brenner
NEXT: Name three things named after a Norse god (or goddess)
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
I would have used Bob Newhart for Matt's question, but Mary works too.
Norse, eh? I'll take the easy ones.
1.Friday from Frey 2.Wednesday from Wotan/Odin 3.Thursday from Thor
NEXT: Name three cities that have hosted (or are slated to host) the Olympics twice - but not three times.
Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
Los Angeles - 1932 and 1984 Paris - 1900 and 1924 Helsinki - slated to in 1940, actual in 1952.
Name three mountains that are the highest on their respective continents.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Mount Everest in Asia Denali (aka Mount McKinley) in North America Kilimanjaro in Africa
Name three three US presidents who have served in political office after their presidency.

Posted by Chaim Mattis Keller on :
The 1990's are not part of the 21st century
Posted by Seth Gaterra on :
Ravenette, think I have an answer (though probably not the one you're looking for?)
A possible new genus of cricket, with working pincers on its hind end. A new species of millipede. The first species of barklouse discovered in North America (as they're normally in South America).
All the above are from caves in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, on the Utah-Arizona border. (They actually found 4 more species of cricket and another millipede species, but I figured one representative each.)

All three were from the "Ringo" album.

Roll up, He Who Wanders, step right this way.
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
KK, let's just say that music trivia is one of my favorite obsessions ... after the Legion, of course.
Name three bands that continued to record without any founding members present.
Posted by KryptonKid on :
I'm assuming that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band doesn't count. Peter, Barry, Robin, and Maurice joined well after Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play.
Oh, well! Posted by He Who Wanders on :
No, "Sgt. Pepper" wasn't a real band.
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
Hint: Three of the bands I'm thinking of were British and were active during the '60s and '70s.
A fourth possible band underwent two name changes as well as a complete turnover in personnel.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Yes (Jefferson) Starship Menudo
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
I'll accept Jefferson Starship and Menudo, but Yes has featured bassist Chris Squire from the beginning.
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
This question seems to have stumped everyone, so here are the three British bands I was thinking of:
Renaissance -- founded by two former members of the Yardbirds, this band unwent a complete change in personnel between its first and second albums.
Soft Machine -- keyboard player Mike Ratledge was the last founder to leave, in 1975.
Fairport Convention -- guitarist and co-founder Simon Nicol left in 1971 and returned in 1976. In between, Fairport recorded five albums without any original members in the line-up.
Next question:
Name three TV series that have featured at least two "Star Trek" actors as regulars, other than "Star Trek" franchise series themselves. (A "'Star Trek' actor" is defined for our purposes as someone who was either a regular or a prominent guest star in the "Star Trek" TV series or movies.)
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
LA Law featured Diane Muldaur who was Dr. Pulaski on TNG and Corbin Bernsen who was one of the Q in one episode.
Boston Legal featured Rene Auberjonois who was Odo on DS9 and William Shatner, who people might recall from the original series.
Quantum Leap starred Scott Bakula who was Captain Archer in Enterprise and Dean Stockwell who was a guest star in an episode of Enterprise. I don't know if you would consider that a prominent guest star or not.
Also on IMDB doesn't list Diane Muldaur as a regular on LA Law, but she was a reoccurring guest star and prominent character in the series. Similar to the Dean Stockwell, I don't know if you consider Corbin Bernsen to have been a prominent guest star.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Benson featured Rene Auberjonois and Ethan Philips (Neelix on Voyager)
I'll ditto Boston Legal as per Quis
Avery Brooks (Sisko) and Carolyn McCormck (re-occurring role of Minuet on ST:TNG) were regulars together on Spenser: For Hire
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
Quis gets the prize. ("Regular" does not necessarily mean someone whose name is in the opening credits. Diana Muldaur was on "L.A. Law" for at least an entire season; if that's not a regular, then I don't know what is?)
I was also thinking of two other series:
7th Heaven -- stars Stephen Collins (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) and Catherine Hicks (Star Trek VI)
Cheers -- stars Kirstie Alley (Star Trek II) and Kelsey Grammer (who played Capt. Morgan Bateson in an episode of Next Generation)

So, pursuant to Rockhopper's question, I'll answer
Martin Luther King, Jr. George Washington Abraham Lincoln (the latter two combined as President's Day, of course)

quote:Originally posted by Chaim Mattis Keller: Actually, wouldn't Jesus be the third one?
Technically, it wouldn't. December 25th was only declared as Jesus' birthday by the Catholic Church, to counter the various winter solstice rituals. And the shepherds wouldn't have been out with their flocks in December, as that was the rainy season.
But since your answer was already declared right... never mind.
[ August 11, 2006, 09:02 PM: Message edited by: Seth Gaterra ]

Jesus was the person I had in mind: I did say commemorations of birth, not actual birthdays. We don't know exactly when Jesus was born and neither Washington nor King would have celebrated their birthdays on the third Monday of January or February.
Technically, the US Government does not recognise "President's Day". It calls it Washington's Birthday.
So, the three people whose birth commemorations are federal holidays in the US are Martin Luther King, George Washington and Jesus.

Name three villains who died in LSH stories written by Paul Levitz who had first appeared in LSH stories written by Jim Shooter
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Nemesis Kid, Emerald Empress, Tharok
Posted by Xben on :
As far as I remember, Tharok died pre-Levitz, and didn't return until "Legionairres" came out (post-Levitz). Am I mistaken about that?
Nemesis Kid and Emerald Empress are correct, of course, but there is one other that I am thinking of, probably the toughest of the three.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Just after signing off this person struck me. Would the third be Lars Hanscom the first Starfinger?
Posted by Xben on :
No, Lars Hanscom was created pre-Shooter
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
NK, EE, and... Charma?
Can't remember if her death was revealed pre-Levitz or not...
Posted by Xben on :
Her death was revealed pre-Levitz. It was the motivation of Grimbor chaining the world in the first part of the "Reflecto" arc, the last major pre-Levitz story.
Posted by Xben on :
Hint #1 - This character was created in Shooter's second stint as writer (SLSH days, not Adventure)
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
NK, EE, and ... Ben Pares?
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
NK, EE, and Pulsar Stargrave?
Not exactly sure that would count as a death, but it looked like he'd have a hard time pulling himself back together after his defeat by Stone Boy.
Posted by Xben on :
Sorry, Ben Pares? Was he the thief who stole the Legion's clock? If he died under Levitz, than I guess you are correct, though it's not the one I was thinking of. If you're just guessing and don't know for sure, than it's still out there unless someone else can confirm Pares' death.
If that's not the answer, than I'll post another (significant) hint pretty soon.
Posted by Downunder Lad on :
NK, EE, and Computo?
OK, Computo didn't die, he was reprogrammed, but you could argue that Computo 1.0 "died" during the Danielle Foccart incident...
Posted by Xben on :
Sorry, I missed the Pulsar Stargrave post earlier. I don't remember Stargrave dying under Levitz. Am I wrong? And I wasn't counting Computo either. Actually, Computo wasn't created by Jim Shooter, anyway.
OK, here's the big hint. This third character that I'm thinking of originally appeared in a story written by Jim Shooter, but in that story, the character WAS NOT a villain!
So who was created not-a-villain by Shooter, but was a villain by the time they were killed by Levitz?
Posted by Xben on :
Actually, now that I think of it, I don't recall the details of the "death" story so well, so I'm hoping I'm not making a mistake in saying the character actually died!

Bands such as Crosby Stills Nash & Young and Asia are famous for including two members of previously famous bands (Stephen Stills and Neil Young of Buffalo Springfield, and Steve Howe and Geoff Downes of Yes, respectively). Name three bands that include or have included three members of previously famous bands.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Travelling Wilburys Hot Tuna Ringo and the All Starrs
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
Travelling Wilburys consisted of George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, and Jeff Lynne, none of whom were in a previous band together.
Hot Tuna is correct, as early members included Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, and Marty Balin, all from Jefferson Airplane.
Ringo and the All Stars contained two members of both the Eagles and the Band at various times, but not three of any group.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
oh, so they have to have been in the same band. wasn't clear.
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
Where are all the music trivia buffs? Krypton Kid? Miner?
Clue: The three bands I'm thinking of -- I'd forgotten about Hot Tuna -- are British.
One was a hard rock band active in the '70s and '80s.
The second was named after an indy comic book.
The third band was formed after the suicide of the previous band's lead singer.
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
Yes, Kent, I'm looking for three members of the same bands. Sorry for the confusion. I thought my examples of Asia and CSNY were clear enough.
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
Whitesnake included three former members of Deep Purple.
Velvet Revolver includes three former members of Guns'n'Roses.
With Hot Tuna that gives me three.
If you want to go up to four members, there's Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe, which was made up of former members of Yes.

Oh, and Pearl Jam was formed by three members of Temple of the Dog, though paradoxically the earlier band didn't become successful until after Pearl Jam was famous.

Actually George III ascended the throne in October 1760 and died in January 1820, so his reign was 59 years and a few months. There is one 20th Century monarch who did reign for over 60 years.
Posted by Bevis on :
Hmm. At first I thought it was Prince Ranier but on checking he only ruled for something like 49 years so it's not him. Oooh, isn't the King of Tonga or somewhere the longest living ruler in the wrold and has been king for ages?
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
The King of Tonga who died last month was the oldest monarch at the time, but the King of Thailand and Elizabeth II have both reigned longer (though neither has yet reached 60 years).
The person I'm looking for is not European, if that's a help.
Posted by Bevis on :
OK, I admit that because it was bugging me I did have to look it up, but I believe the one you're thinking of is:
Malietoa Tanumafili II of Samoa 1939-Present.
There are actually a surprising number that ruled for over 60 years though. Hirihito ruled for 64 years for example.
Add either Victoria or George III to those two and that should make it three...

You were, but in this game, if there is no doubt that your answer is correct, you do not have to wait for confirmation.
Although looking at your answer, you are incorrect in that Atlanta hosted a summer Olympics, not a winter Olympics. Give one more winter Olympic site and then post your name 3

Hopefully someone else would come up with the right one then. Just trying to drum up some more chatter on this particular thread. Posted by Xben on :

Posted by Xben on :
Name three different lead action-hero characters from three different movie franchises who were each played by three different actors in three different films, generally without much of an internal explanation (ie, not because he was a child in one film and an adult in the next, a la Darth Vader, although I confess that the age of the actors did have an impact in one of the cases I have in my mind--although from what I understand the previous actor had still been offered the role first).
Phew. Does that make sense?
Posted by CJ Taylor on :
James Bond (the example you cited being Sean Connery, I believe)
Batman (tho' it's four different actors now)
Superman (Does G. Reeves count? I believe he made a movie before the tv show)
Posted by Xben on :
I wasn't counting Superman or George Reeves simply because his movie wasn't part of the same series as Christopher Reeve or Brandon Routh. I guess it depends on your definition of a franchise. Batman and James Bond are what I was thinking of, as well as one other. I suppose it's open to debate as to whether this third example are all in the same "continuity" or not, but the movies featuring all three actors were all done by the same producer, and within a few years of each other. The only thing that makes it a bit tough to all fit together is that the most recent one features the youngest actor, and obviously takes place years earlier than the others...
Posted by Matthew E on :
Well, I think I know the one you want:
Bond (Connery/Moore/Lazenby/Dalton/Brosnan/new guy)
Batman (Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney)
Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin/Harrison Ford/Ben Affleck)
Name three DC-or-Marvel characters with the power of bouncing.
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
Bouncing Boy, natch.
And, depending on how you define "bouncing" ... Batroc the Leaper and the Tumbler.

I define 'bouncing' as 'exactly like, or almost exactly like, Bouncing Boy's superpower'. Acrobatics are not the same.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Bouncing Boy, Speedball (From Marvel's New Warriors), and Plastic Man.

The Composite Superman also had bouncing powers! And used them on occassion!
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Anyone to name 3 superheroes who are also lawyers?
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Hmm....Daredevil, She-Hulk, and Vigilante?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
seeing how you weren't sure on Vigilante, I'll let you know that is correct. Adrain Chase (as opposed to Greg Saunders the original Vig) was a DA and thus a lawyer.
Also the original Air Wave was a DA too. In a recent (about a year or two ago) issue of Batman/Detective, Barbara Gordon claimed to have gotten a law degree. However she acted very unethically for a lawyer.
Posted by Bevis on :
Manhunter (from the current series) is also a lawyer. Plus it's a brilliant series so everyone should be buying it.
Posted by Lance's realm on :
Name 3 blue engines on the island of Sodor.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Well after two days and no guesses, I looked up the Island of Sodor and found it was the home of Thomas the Tank Engine.
Having never seen the series and assuming that no guesses meant that no one else knew, I also looked up the characters, Thomas, Gordon, & Sir Handel are all blue.

I have no idea what's still on or not, and how long they've been running, but here are some guesses...
Edge of Night As the World Turns Guiding Light
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
As the World Turns and Guiding Light are still in production after 51 and 69 years, respectively (GL started out on the radio).
Posted by Xben on :
Sixty-nine years! Wow. So, has Guiding Light maintained a consistent continuity in all that time? Did it flow seemlessly from the radio to television? Are events and characters from the early days still referenced occasionally today? Did they ever feel the need to create a cosmic event that rebooted the entire series to make it more accessible to new fans? That's got to be one of the longest continuously-told stories ever.
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
It actually originated on radio as "the Adventures of Perry Mason," believe it or not; but as it built up its own original characters it phased out the PM cast.
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
The Edge of Night is the one the morphed out of Perry Mason. Guiding Light originated on the radio in 1937.
Anyway, does anyone out there know the three soaps that lasted longer than 25 years and then were cancelled?
Posted by Xben on :
Thought of another one which I think I've confirmed...
Another World
But can't think of any others
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
Another World (1964-99) The Edge of Night (1956-84)
And one more.
Here's a hint. Its title is a full sentence.

Name three US Presidents inaugurated before age 50.
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
John F Kennedy Bill Clinton Theodore Roosevelt
Now, I'll go check to see if I am correct.
And I was correct.
Kennedy was born in 1917 and began his presidency in 1961, dying in 1963, before he reached age 50.
Clinton was born in 1946 and began his presidency in 1993, thus under 50 years of age when he started.
So name 3 characters Casey Kasem provided the voice for.

Name three DC Comics superheroic characters who have taken their superhero codenames from the last names of famous scientists*.
(I know of exactly three. There may be more. The three I know of are not currently appearing in any comic book, and two of them are out of current continuity altogether (edited to add: Wait. I'm not sure. Maybe all three of them are out of current continuity altogether). One's famous, one's not famous but any longtime DC fan should know of him/her, and the third is actually pretty obscure but, I'm sure, not unknown to the denizens of this message board.)

an 18th-century Swedish astronomer, remembered for a contribution he made to physics
a 20th-century Swiss psychiatrist
a 19th-century English mathematician/computer scientist
I really want someone to get the answer. I think it's a cool question.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel Bones
...and he also frequently appeared on Rocketship 7, in the Buffalo area, when he was a kid. Or so I'm told.

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
Matthew, Newark IS a New York airport, run by the Port Authority of NY/NJ, just as JFK and LaGuardia are. Many major metro areas have airports within other municipalities - or even states. The primary traffic to EWR is not necause of Newark city - it's because of NY.
Also, W-DC's third airport is Baltimore-Washington International.

Kent of your three the only one I might not accept would be pasteurization. I think Pasteur is still commonly known and it is commonly known that that is where the word comes from. But you go for the next three.

Name three " hero power types" depicted in the Legion
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Not sure what "hero power types" means, but I'll guess.
Physical power - super strength, Karate Kid, etc.
Energy power - Transmuting, magnetism, Electrical, etc.
Mental - Telepathy, illusion casting, etc.
I'm going to wait to see if this is right.
However, Vee's answer is not correct. The three he listed had their powers change. What I was going for was Saturn Girl, who originally was just a thought caster and now is a telepath, Chameleon Boy who had super-disguise powers and is now a shape shifter, & Colossal Boy who could grow to giant size and now can shrink to 6 feet.
Posted by Vee on :
Yup, that's right Quis. Other power types would be speedsters, elementals (fire, ice, water, earth based powers) mage/mystics, etc.
Regarding my answer, I didn't take your question the way you intended but I would argue that they are still valid answers since their power description had to change since their powers changed!
In any case, you're back up
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Name 3 comic strips in which the characters age.

Hmmmm....not sure but I think

Since I'm not sure I'll wait for confirmation before posting another question
Posted by Outdoor Miner on :
I'll guess as well.
Gasoline Alley For Better Or For Worse Doonesbury
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Gasoline Alley is a correct answer, being the first to have characters age.
Blondie did have Dagwood's & Blondie's kids grow up. Although they are now frozen as teen-agers.
I don't know if the same is true for Hi & Lois
For Better or For Worse and Doonesberry also have aging characters.
So, I give this to Outdoor Miner.

They are more than personalities. I have no idea why they don't count as DJs though. Can you enlighten me the difference please?
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Novelty,
I see DJs as someone who mainly plays records. I did not know of those two and did a quick google search. The info I found on them (granted I didn't give more than a quick read) had them as personalities rather than record spinners. Now when you say that Johnny Vaughn does the morning show, is he playing records or is it just talk ala Howard Stern?
However, this thread was meant to be a quick paced game. So why don't you ask a new name three.
Posted by Novelty on :
He plays records as well. Like Ryan Seacrest, he's got a radio show in addition to his other stuff like anchoring TV shows and what not.

Lady Jaye Baroness Scarlett
Not too sure about the answers...
Posted by Quislet, Esq. on :
Well as the originator of the thread and as Rockhopper Lad said, the idea of the thread is that no confirmation should be needed. So I would say that by naming three female GI Joes, you answered the question and can continue on.
Posted by Stealth on :
Okay, if Quis says so.
But just to be clear, Baroness wasn't a Joe, she was a Cobra. The third female Joe was Cover Girl.
Oh, and thanks for naming Lady Jaye first, Novelty, she was the one I wanted to be as a kid.
Posted by Novelty on :
I always preferred Lady Jaye to Scarlet. And a Cobra is part of the G.I.Joe toyline, AFAIK, so she can be considered a Joe although that's semantics

Let me take this opportunity to use a fantastic bit of trivia I just learned. I'll present it in the form of this question:
Name three Academy Award winners (for Best Actor or Best Actress) who have portrayed characters who were also portrayed in the Super Friends cartoon.
(There may be more than three. There's one in particular that amazes me, and that's probably the one you're least likely to get.)
Posted by He Who Wanders on :
I'm not sure if all of these characters were potrayd on Super Friends, but here goes:
Marlon Brando (Jor-El) Gene Hackman (Lex Luther) Jack Nicholson (The Joker)
Posted by Rockhopper Lad on :
All three of those characters appeared on one incarnation of Super Friends or another.
Posted by Matthew E on :
There was one answer I wanted you to get, but unfortunately there were four (five, if Catwoman was ever on Super Friends) other more obvious ones also available, and you picked three of those (the other easy ones I had in mind were Halle Berry and Kevin Spacey).
But: does anyone remember the character Rima the Bird-Girl? Kind of a jungle-girl character who was in a couple of episodes? May or may not have appeared in a couple of DC comics?
Rima was taken from a novel called Green Mansions that was published in about 1902. I haven't read it; it was some kind of noble-savage pastoral semi-adventure, as far as I can tell. Why DC bothered to acquire the rights to this character and go ahead and use her I have no idea.
Anyway, they made a movie out of Green Mansions in the '50s, and, in the part of Rima, they cast...
...Audrey Hepburn.
I don't know what you have to be smoking to decide you want Audrey Hepburn playing a jungle girl, but there you are. Audrey Hepburn portrayed a future Super Friend.
Is that weird or what?

The first poster gives a catagory. The next poster has to fill in three examples. The answering poster does not have to have the same examples as the questioning poster, but should be able to show how the example fits the catagory if questioned. Then the answering poster gets to post the next catagory. The poster who starts the catagory has to be able to provide the three examples if everyone else gets stuck. (so no trying to stump people with an impossible catagory)
Using Google to to verify your answers is OK. Especially if the catagory is a tough one.
This is supposed to be a fast moving game, hence the not waiting for confirmation of your answers.
