Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly TRIAD: only for serious mindbending!

They're all British actors

Ok a bit of a clue the names I provided are all their name at birth not nessasarily the names they are famous with.

They all played Dr. Who, but under different names?

1. Peter Cushing
2. Sylvester McCoy
3. Peter Davison

thats it lightning lad got it first

The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Mission: Impossible
T.J. Hooker

Looking for something very specific. The obvious answer will not be the correct one.

I'm stumped. I don't even see an obvious answer

Think about two different stars from two of the programs (that are also tied by another WAY obvious one I didn't list) and you'll get the answer.

Well, William Shatner starred in T.J. Hooker, I believe Leonard Nimoy starred in M:I for a bit and both guested on the same episode of U.N.C.L.E. along with the late James Doohan.

That would be what I was looking for. Nimoy and Shatner actually appeared together on six different series:

Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1964)
Mission: Impossible (1966)
Star Trek: TOS (1966)
Star Trek: TAS (1973)
T.J. Hooker (1982)
Futurama (1999)

Incidently, Nimoy played Paris on MI, around the same time as Sam Elliott and Lesley Ann Warren appeared on it. 3rd season I think.

Next to you Miner!

OK, then:

W.C. Fields
Bob Dylan
Oscar Wilde

They all hated children?

Bob actually seems to love kids, but I think you're right about the other two.

Okay, more seriously. It can't be the obvious that they all were born with different names (most of these questions could have that answer) so I'll go with the three of them being on the cover to the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

That would be the answer.

Good job, LL! I thought that one would be a stumper.

Believe it or not I actually used to own a signed copy of that album. I inherited it from a family friend who got me hooked on Beatles music. But a cousin stole it and before I could recover it he was killed in a hunting accident. Never knew what happened to it.

I'll post another question in bit.

OK, I think I am going to revive this old game.

Recap of the rules: Find the common link to the 3 people/objects listed. The correct poster gets to list the next 3

SO:

Nancy Walker
Walter Cronkite
Betty Ford

Did they all appear on 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show'?

Darn, that was quick. I wonder if it would have been hard with my original three (Henry Winkler, John Ritter, & Nanacy Walker - same answer)

Nancy Walker had the reoccurring role as Ida Morgenstern, Rhoda's mom. Walter Cronkite & Betty Ford appeared as themselves.

OK, Matthew E your turn

Here we go:

Starman
Karate Kid
Cloak & Dagger

...and be as specific as you can!

All are comic book characters/titles that were also unrelated movie titles.

You're on the right track... just missing one detail.

Did the filmmakers need to get permission to use those titles from the respective owners of the comics characters?

Uh... not sure. I know they did in two cases; don't know about the third. But that's not what I'm thinking of.

I might as well just tell you; it's clearly your question next and there's no point in making you jump through hoops:

All three movies in question were 1984 movies. How weird is that?

There is a little twist on this one too, but we'll see if anyone gets it:
Richard Dreyfuss
Willie Mays
Mercedes McCambridge
