  1. I could sure use that "free pass" this week. I think I only know a couple of these without some deep thinking. #4 is "The Greatest American Hero" (big hit) and "Hardcastle & McCormick" (not a big hit). For #3, didn't Magnum like "Stalag 17"?

  7. Paul, I bow before your talent in stumping me completely. I am proud to admit that I don't know a SINGLE ANSWER to any of these questions. I say proud because I will at least earn a prize, the booby one.
