6 DEGREES OF "FACTS" SEPARATION - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JO jr · 12-01-2006, 02:20 AM

ALLRIGHT...I'VE WANTED TO DO THIS FOR A WHILE, AND THIS BOARD LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE A LITTLE MORE LIVELY.

I'VE BEEN PLAYING THIS GAME IN MY HEAD AND I AM AMAZED OF HOW THE FACTS OF LIFE AND CAST ARE LINKED TO SOOO MANY PEOPLE.

SO, LET'S PLAY A GAME OF 6 DEGREES OF SEPARATION. AND GUESS WHAT? I'M THE HOST, THEREFORE THE JUDGE-HAHA

IT WOULD BE NICE IF THERE COULD BE SOME ORDER TO THIS, KIND OF LIKE MY TRIVIA. SO FOR NOW, LET'S SAY THAT WHOEVER POSTS AN ANSWER FIRST THAT CAN LINK A PARTICULAR PERSON WITHIN 6 DEGREES OF "FACTS" (HOPE I EXPLAINED THAT RIGHT), THEN THEY CAN HAVE A TURN TO TRY TO STUMP US, AND SO ON.

THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE ANSWER, AND I MAY DECIDE TO PICK THE ONE WHO FOUND A SHORTER DEGREE OF SEPARATION; OR IF SOMEONE COMES UP WITH A HARDER DEGREE VS A MORE BROADER ONE, OR SOMETHING I FEEL WOULD NOT COUNT, THEN THAT ANSWER MAY BE DISQUALIFIED OR MAY BE PASSED UP FOR A BETTER ANSWER. THE CONFUSING? WELL, IT SHOULD BE. IT IS ME AFTERALL

IF THAT HAPPENS, I'LL EXPLAIN, BUT I DON'T WANT TO GIVE ANY HINTS AWAY NOW.

I THINK THIS COULD BE A FUN GAME, AND YOU JUST MIGHT BE AMAZED OF HOW FACTS & THE CAST ARE SO INTERTWINED IN THE SCHEME OF THINGS

I WILL TRY TO LOOK ON THE COMPUTER AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, TO KEEP THIS GOING AS FAST AS ANYONE WANTS TO PLAY. ALSO, I GET TO PLAY, TOO, IF I GUESS-JUDGE'S RULE

SO YOU BETTER KEEP CHECKING BACK OFTEN.

ALLRIGHTY THEN. I'LL START WITH ONE I THINK IS EASY: LINK BETTY BUCKLEY (I LOVE HER!) TO "THE FACTS OF LIFE".

PS: IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGG'S, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKU

Betty Buckley played the mom on Eight Is Enough. The actor who played the father played Bevery Ann's ex-husband, Frank, on Facts. I'm sorry that I don't know the exact names of the parents on Eight Is Enough, but I've seen very little of the show.

JO jr · 12-01-2006, 07:48 PM

OOOH, GOOD DAX. I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT, BUT YOU WIN. YOUR TURN

Nighthawk76 · 12-01-2006, 10:01 PM

Alex Rocco (aka "Jo's Dad")

JO jr · 12-01-2006, 10:23 PM

OH, THAT'S TOO EASY. I'LL GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CHANCE. WELL, FOR A LITTLE WHILE, AT LEAST

JO jr · 12-02-2006, 04:53 AM

HELL-O! ANYONE? MCFLY-KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

(JUST KIDDING) I'M GONNA HOLDOUT TILL TOMORROW. HOPEFULLY SOME MORE PEOPLE WILL START TO GET INTO THE GAME THIS WEEKEND.

HEY DAX-IS KELL OK? I'M GONNA PM HER.

TAKE CARE, BUDDY

HEY, COUNCELOR

YOU GOTTA ANSWER THE ALEX ROCCO ONE FIRST, THEN IF YOU'RE "OK'ED" BY THE ORIGINAL POSTER, OR MYSELF, YOU'RE NEXT TO POST A NAME. THINK JEOPARDY. (SP?)

I ALREADY HAVE AN ANSWER FOR SALLY FIELD TOO, BUT WE HAVE TO GO IN ORDER. RULES IS RULES. I LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE CAN BE MULTIPLE ANSWERS TOO, BUT ANY ONE OF THEM CAN BE USED. LIKE THE ONE I THOUGHT OF FOR BETTY BUCKLEY IS DIFF THAN WHAT "BLAIR'S # 1 FAN" PUT. I CAN STILL USE THAT IN ANOTHER WAY LATER.

I HOPE PEOPLE WILL LIKE THIS GAME AND IT CATCHES ON, BECAUSE I THINK IT CAN BE FUN, AND HOPEFULLY CHALLENGING AT TIMES.

A.D.A. Casey Novak · 12-02-2006, 02:48 PM

OK, here goes. Alex Rocco starred with Al Pacino in The Godfather. Al Pacino starred in Devil's Advocate with Keanu Reeves. KR starred with Sandra Bullock in Speed. Sandra Bullock got lead in TV Show "Working Girl" when NM bailed.

Is that close enough or does it have to relate to the show directly?

JO jr · 12-02-2006, 03:53 PM

CLOSE, BUT...IF NANCY WAS IN THE MOVIE, THEN THAT WOULD'VE COUNTED. DON'T MAKE THIS ONE SO HARD. I'LL GIVE YOU A HINT.

HE WAS IN 2 OTHER SHOWS WITH HER.

A.D.A. Casey Novak · 12-02-2006, 05:51 PM

The Division?

JO jr · 12-02-2006, 06:36 PM

BINGO. HE PLAYED JINNYGIRL'S DAD. THERE ARE OTHER ALEX & NANCY REFERENCES, BUT THAT'S ONE, SO NOW WE'LL USE YOURS.

OK EVERYONE: NANCY MCKEON & SALLY FIELD. I'LL HOLD OFF ON THIS ONE TILL TOMORROW TO SEE IF SOMEONE GUESSES, BUT I'LL BE MONITORING FOR ANSWERS, TOO.

Well, the most obvious one I can think of for Sally Fields is:

Sally Fields guest stared in ER as Abby's mom. George Clooney stared in ER and was on FOL for a couple of years with Nancy and the girls!

So now lets connect Kim Fields to Clint Eastwood.

I thought of the obvious one but I also thought of
Sally Field was in the movie "Mrs. Doubtfire" which also starred Polly Holiday who starred in "Alice" where Nancy did two guest spots when she was younger.

Sorry I had fun figuring these out that I had to share this..

NO. DON'T APOLOGIZE. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON I WANTED TO DO THIS!

I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT CONNECTION FOR SALLY FIELD, TOO, AMONGST OTHERS, BUT WHO WAS POLLY HOLIDAY ON "MRS. DOUBTFIRE"?

WHEN I STARTED TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN FACTS AND THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ON IT, AND OTHERS WITHIN THE INDUSTRY, AND SO ON, I WAS AMAZED! SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO START THIS, AND FOR US TO SEE JUST HOW FAR IN THE WORLDLY SCHEME OF THINGS, FACTS HAS BEEN INVOLVED, PERSON-BY-PERSON

OK-KIM FIELDS TO CLINT EASTWOOD. OOH. I'LL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS ONE. ANYONE HAVE A GUESS?
