Let's play six degrees!

Posted: 2/10/05 at 11:46am

Okay, the Broadway one on the main board made me think to start this more common one, since I've played it a lot and I love it. Here are the rules: someone gives two TV shows or 2 movies or a show and a movie to connect. Only connections are allowed are from movie/show to actor from that, to another movie/show the same actor was in to another actor from that, etc. No other connections like marriages or producers or anything. Okay, I'll go first with one of my favorites because I was really excited when I was able to do it:

The Brady Bunch and Saved By The Bell

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Well, that's not really elaborate, now is it?

More like...

was Desiree in A Little Night Music with
Beth Fowler who was Mrs. Potts
in Beauty and the Beast

Then you do list one of your own, like

Actually, the rules were:

"Only connections are allowed are from movie/show to actor from that, to another movie/show the same actor was in to another actor from that, etc. No other connections like marraiges or producers or anything."

It's supposed to be "Marriages" for those who misunderstood.

Melissa, I assumed that Munk's was against the rules because they were supposed to be connected by actors, so I didn't see the Tony Kushner connect fit....
