3. Believe it or Not by Mike Post & Stephen Geyer
(Look at what’s happened to me,
I can’t believe it myself.
Suddenly I’m up on top of the world,
It should’ve been somebody else.
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it’s just me.
It’s like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not, I’m walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be? Believe it or not it’s just me.)
4. I don't know. Never watched it...
5.advertising executive
6.Julie McCullough
7. Someone got famous? Who?
8. All of them?
9. I'm gonna guess Coleman
10. Estelle (the old lady, right?)
I'll post the answers soon! But you guys did pretty well!!
dammit! As soon as i saw this i knew Earl was going to beat me to it.
no sense posting the same stuff, except the answer to 10 is Estelle Getty.
p.s. can you tell Earl and I have watched waaaay too much tv?
Hey kids. I'll give you a hint. #10 is NOT Estelle Getty...I know, I know...it breaks urban legend we all grew up believing. But I looked it up, just to be sure, before I posted this quiz and it's just not Estelle. So guess again!
And there are a couple others there Slyde that aren't right...so give it a go!
Do I get points for posting the ENTIRE SONG?
George Clooney was in The Facts of Life! Woah! You live and learn!
So this doesn't count because I looked it up, but Rue McClanahan (sp?) is the youngest of the group. Born in 1934 where the rest of the gals are 1922-1923.
Also, the theme song from "Growing Pains" was sung by three different singers including BJ Thomas and Jennifer Warnes. But I'm guessing you are looking for Dusty Springfield who made it a hit in 1988. (Thanks wikipedia!)
I think we got the rest unless #9 was Todd Bridges.
#9- While it is unfortunate that Dana Plato was successful at her suicide attempt, it is Mr. Coleman who has also attempted to kill himself. What a cursed show!
And of course Liz was correct with Mypos...although I'll give ya points earl for knowing it was a fictional island.
I don't know if this counts, but Molly Ringwald got her start on the Facts of Life. Blockbuster Movie Star? COULD BEEEEE
Take the good and take the bad, etc.
