Can you tell me the title and if it's on DVD?Īnswer: Actually, two movies come to mind that fit your description.
BURT REYNOLDS SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT ORNAGUTAN MOVIE
Question: In the 1940s, I saw a movie about a nightclub performer who could see into the future.
The scenes were from films such as "Psycho," "From Here to Eternity" and "Frankenstein." And Adams wore lots of leisure suits. It was a syndicated series in which Adams and a guest star (Connie Stevens, Don Rickles, etc.) would each act out a classic film scene with someone from the audience. > Could you tell me the name of the show?Īnswer: That was "Don Adams' Screen Test," a lint ball under the bed of life that ran in 1975-76. I think there were teams and each team would do a different scene, then a winner was selected and won (I think) a screen test. The original scene was shown, and then the actors would perform it live. Aspiring actors would re-create scenes from famous movies. Question: I remember a TV show from the mid-1970s that no one else seems to recall. "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo" also ran on NBC from 1979 until 1981. Lobo was quickly given a series of his own. with the help of his deputies, short stubby Perkins (Mills Watson) and lanky Birdie (Brian Kerwin). McKay, who was nothing like the character Burt Reynolds played in the "Smokey and the Bandit" movies, no, not at all, and he had a monkey, but there was no resemblance to the guy with the orangutan whom Clint Eastwood played in the "Every Which Way But Loose" movies, no, not at all.Īnyway, Lobo was always chasing B.J. Can you help us with the title? Is it on DVD?Īnswer: Oooh, sounds like "Lobo," also known as "The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo," also known as "Sewage."Ĭlaude Akins played Lobo, a character he introduced to great acclaim on the NBC series "B.J. One was tall, blond and smart (kind of), and the other was nearly bald, stubby and always getting into trouble. It was about a sheriff who had two deputies. Question: My son and I are remembering a sitcom from the 1980s but can't recall the title.
