Idea for a new game!

[Joy]

Happy new year everyone!

I was visiting Dani's wallpaper site, great site Dani, and saw her tribute photo to the stars we lost in 2010. I saw a few people along with Rue McClanahan who had been on the golden girls at one time or another. I thought we could do the same thing with Chico and the man. I think it's actually called 6 degrees of seperation.

Freddie Prinze
Jack Albertson
Bonnie Boland
Isak Ruiz
Scatman Cruthers
Della Reese

Freddie and Rich little were on CATM and they worked together on the Bob hope special.....not the canadian one, the one with all the stars and the mysterious disapearances.
Can you think of any others?

Happy New Year to you too Ms Angie!
Gosh this place is so quiet! You can hear the echo!

Thank you for the compliment! I really appreciate that!

Now about your game.......wouldn't it maybe help to give us people to connect back to Chico and the Man? Maybe something like what's the connection or how about trace a link from George Lopez back to Chico And The Man? Just a suggestion!

Oh and the link I come up with between George And Chico goes like this:
George Lopez worked with Belita Moreno on his show
Belita Moreno was on an episode of The Golden Girls with Rue McClanahan and Beatrice Arthur
Both Rue and Bea were on episodes of All In The Family and Gregory Sierra and Demond Wilson also appeared on episodes
Both Demond and Gregory were on Sanford and Son and Scatman Crothers made a guest appearance on that show
Scatman was a regular on Chico!

georgre lopez and freddie sr connection.
Esai morales played freddie jr's father on his show freddie. esai morales also played in the movie "my family" which also starred constance marie who played george lopez's wife on his show. also in the movie "my family" was Jenny Gago who played the grandmother on freddie Jr's show freddie. Jr being the son of freddie sr seals the deal.

This sounds interesting...but complicated. Love the fact that you're trying to come up with some new ideas and get some interest in the boards again.

[Danisel331]

Hey rochforw, Esai also played George's father on his show.

It's not that complicated and you get to see how connected everyone in Hollywood is. Just try it!

[rochforw]

Try Natalie wood and freddie sr. connection
Jack Albertson was in Mirical on 34th street, which starred natalie wood. And ofcourse Jack and freddie on chico and the man.
This connection was short.

Desi Arnaz and freddie sr connection.
There were two characters on chico that guest starred on I Love Lucy. One of the guys was the one who had 9 girls in the episode that lucy gave birth. The other guy was in a couple of lucy episodes, one being the fortune teller. Both of these guys were in the same chico episode. I dont know there names. When watching the episode i expected desi to walk in, but he never did.

[rochforw]

It would of been cool if they had desi arnaz play chico's father, instead of Ceasar Romero.

[Danisel331]

Rochforw one of the actors you're talking about was Charles Lane. (The guy with the 9 girls on I Love Lucy) He passed away a couple years ago at the age 102. He was in sooooooooo many TV shows and movies! Whew!

Personally, I LOVED Cesar Romero as "Chico's" Dad. He and Freddie looked so similiar! I thought he was perfect!

Ok, let me see how creative I can get here.
Ok......Chico and Sandra Bullock (and without using George Lopez! )
One lady who did a couple episodes of Chico was Alma Beltran. (She made the rounds on shows Most famously as Julio's mom on Sanford And Son)
Alma Beltran also made an appearance on The Jeffersons which starred Marla Gibbs among others!
Marla Gibbs had her show 227 and playing her daughter, Brenda, was Regina King.
Regina went on to star with Sandra Bullock in the Miss Congeniality movie!

[Cheryl Harrell]

Charles Lane was also Homer Bedloe on Petticoat Junction and Green Acres. The guy from the train co who hated the Cannonball trins and kept trying to stop it...

[rochforw]

Jay Novello is the name of the other guy from i love lucy, who appeared along side charles Lane on chico and the man.

Danisel331 try Sidney Poitere and Freddie Sr connection.

Danisel331 try Sidney Poitere and Freddie Sr connection.

Thanks for the other name!
Ok now.....you want to challenge me, huh? OK here's what I got for ya!

Sidney Poitier was in the movie Guess Who's Coming To Dinner with Isabel Sanford.
Isabel Sanford was Louise on The Jefferson's along with Jenny,played by Berlinda Tolbert.
Berlinda Tolbert was in the movie Harlem Nights, as was Della Reese.
Della was, of course, the landlady on Chico And The Man!

Now.....since I got a challenge You get one!
Trace a connection from Freddie Sr to Will Smith.

[rochforw]

Too Easy. Danisel331

Will smith was in the movie "six degrees of separation"
which also starred Stockard Channing.
Stockard Channing was in Grease with john Travolta.
John travolta was on Welcomeback Kotter, which was produced by James Komack. And James Komack produced Chico.

I would of used Shelly Winters as the connection for sidney and freddie.
Shelly was in A Patch of Blue, with sidney.
shelly guessed starred on chico, and was in poseidon adventure with jack albertson.

Challenge #2
Freddie sr. and Shirley Temple

[rochforw]

If you cant do that one, ill be nice and give you another one.
How about Freddie sr and Al Pacino.

[rochforw]

Actually you should be able to think of the connection of freddie and shirley temple. If you dont you are gonna hate yourself later, if i give you the answer. Anyone else who wants to play please challenge me and Danisel331.

[Danisel331]

Ok rochforw.......you wanna play hard ball, huh?
As you said.....Shirley Temple is a bit easy!

Shirley Temple was in Poor Little Rich Girl with Alice Faye.
Alice Faye (one of my favorite actresses ) was in several pictures with Cesar Romero .......my favorite is Weekend In Havana!
Cesar Romero was Chico's Padre!
