The tenth birthday of cinematic boogeyman Freddy Krueger should have been a big deal to start with, that's for sure. Why? Well, in the ...

Hi everyone,
ReplyDeleteTerrific identifications, by everyone!
Sirrus, you accurately picked up numbers 1, 4 and 9 (The Prisoner, Twin Peaks and Smallville). Nice job!
Henry: Happy New Year to you as well, my friend. You did a great job nabbing 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8 from the list (UFO, V, Millennium, Buffy, The X-Files). Awesome!
Howard, your ids were awesome too, as is usual, sir! :) From the list remaining, you nabbed number 5, which is indeed American Gothic!
And Strange Powers -- you rock! More terrific identifications, all the way around.
The ids, for the record are:
1. The Prisoner ("Arrival")
2. UFO ("Identified")
3. V: The Series
4. Twin Peaks
5. American Gothic ("A Tree Grows in Trinity")
6. Millennium ("Wide Open")
7. Buffy the Vampire Slayer ("Becoming Part 2")
8. The X-Files ("Arcadia")
9. Smallville ("Pilot")
That only leaves the elusive and difficult # 10. Lost Room was a brilliant guess, but that's not it.
Any takers?
best to all, and thanks again for playing. You are all terrific!
John
#10 is "Veronica Mars", isn't it?
ReplyDeleteMichael:
ReplyDeleteBINGO! You got it! Yep, that's the Camelot Motel from Veronica Mars all right. Nice Job!
best,
