Answer: Mr. President

Andre Gower was in three short lived shows, "Fathers and Sons," "Mr. President," and "Baby Makes Five." I only remember "Mr. President." It was a sitcom about the first family.

I love McDonald's good time great taste and I get this all at one place!" It goes something like that, at least that is how I have always sung it. I memorized it when I was 11. Never won a million dollars though...

Answer: Northbeach and Rawhide

William Shatner played Rawhide MacGregor, and Tate Donovan played Sean Connelly. I remember Tate's character got into trouble because of his older brother, played by Chris Penn. Their father was played by Chris Penn's real life father Leo Penn. Lori Loughlin (Becky from "Full House") also starred as Candy Cassidy. I had this movie on a tape my aunt gave me and I watched it 100 times.

It was a really good movie and I wish I could get my hands on a copy of it.

Answer: The Double McGuffin

I watched this movie on laserdisk! This movie was written and directed by Joe Camp, the creator and director of "Benji." I remembered it as they found a thumb in a box at some point, but I must be mistaken.

I loved this movie, granted I was probably 5 or 6 when I watched it. Terence Hill played Dave Speed, a.k.a. "Super Fuzz." It came out in 1980 and also starred Ernest Borgnine.

Answer: Cloak and Dagger

Henry Thomas starred as Davey, Dabney Coleman played his father and his imaginary friend Jack Flack.

Answer: Rags to Riches

The show played great 50s & 60s music, like "Rockin' Robin" and the Everly Brothers. Tisha Campbell ("My Wife and Kids" and "Martin") played one of the Foley girls. Joseph Bologna played Nick Foley (the dad). The show aired from 1987-1988.

Answer: Hardcastle and McCormick

Brian Keith played retired judge, Hardcastle. Over his career he had to dismiss many cases due to legal technicalities. Now that he is retired he sets out to bust those guilty people, who were wrongly acquitted with the help of McCormick, a man he once sent to prison. The show aired from 1983-1986.

Answer: Otherworld

"Otherworld" was a cool show but apparently I was the only one who liked it as nobody remembers it and it was cancelled after 8 episodes. It was on the air in 1985 . The show starred Sam Groom, Gretchen Corbett, Tony O'Dell ("Head of the Class") and Jonathan Banks. Each episode they were in a different land, one land outlawed families, another was run by Amazon type women. Corey Allen (Buzz from "Rebel Without a Cause") and Paul Michael Glaser are listed as directors. (IMDB)
