Dexter Trivia (3 of 4)_ Which John Lithgow Movie Were They Watching?

For today's "Dexter" trivia question, we go back to the show's fourth season when John Lithgow guest-starred as Arthur Mitchell also known as 'the Trinity Killer' (pictured above). Lithgow won an Emmy for the part.

As an in-joke, according to the Internet Movie Database, there is a scene in one of that season's episodes when a Lithgow film from the 1980s was being shown on a tv set in a living room.

Was that movie:

A) Footloose (original version)

B) The World According to Garp

C) Terms of Endearment

D) Harry and the Hendersons

Dexter Trivia (1 of 4)_ How Long Did M.C. Hall's Other Show Last?

Since "Dexter" is on the verge of having its seventh season premiere on Sunday, we thought we'd put together a series of four questions about the show staring Michael C. Hall.

As it turns out "Dexter" has outlasted Hall's previous show "Six Feet Under" which was a hit with critics and audiences. The show was as unsettling as "Dexter," which features a serial killer as a protagonist, because it took place around a family-run funeral business and each show started with someone's death.

So how many episodes were made of "Six Feet Under," which debuted on HBO in 2001; is the answer?

A) 57

B) 59

C) 61

D) 63

Status Update- Ben Cok Yorgunum (I'm Verrry Tired!)




Under 'normal' circumstances, I may have been tempted to stay up from 2:00 a.m-3:30 a.m., Hartford, Connecticut Time, and watched "Grizzly," a '70s crazy horror film about a bear who really, really goes wild and presumably eats people on TCM Underground.

But, I have been very overwhelmed---to put it mildly, in fact, right now, even though I am not a serial killer or sociopath, I am reminded of that Bret Easton Ellis novel "American Psycho" (1991), a book which I'm not sure what to make of even though Ellis is one of my favorite contemporary novelists, in which the title character Patrick Bateman states the haunting line 'this is not an exit,' meaning there is no escape!

SIDEBAR_One of the entries that I am working on, is another installment of our famous people with long, difficult names list. Nil Karaibrahimgil (perhaps I've mentioned this before?!), a female Turkish pop singer, is among the candidates for the list. They just played one of her songs today on "The Turkish Music Hour," which actually lasts 90 minutes. The show from WUVT-FM (90.7-FM, Blacksburg, Va.) airs and streams online from 1:00-2:30 p.m. on Saturdays.
