I was trying to picture Richard Mulligan in my mind’s eye but all my brain could come up with was George Gaynes.

Yes...let me reshuffle that a bit: name, obviously, but also the actors:

John C. Reilly
John C. McGinley

(McGinley is Marvin in Wall Street, the guy who works at the brokerage with Charlie Sheen.)

It doesn't happen often, but the recent Moon Knight trailer had me thinking "Oh. So he gets to be a villain in a DC and a Marvel property" for a brief second.

an attempt at watching Pam & Tommy made me realize I'd never distinguished between Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx, at least as far a gossip fodder and rockstar escapades. They were just a singular tall, tattooed, black haired dude married to Pamela Anderson and/or other models.

I believe this is a not entirely uncommon quizzing predicament.

Ugh, sorry, was typing too fast, yes, you are correct.

Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 19 March 2022 14:54 (two years ago) link

Top of the Pops = TOTP = BBC original
TopPop / Toppop = what the Dutch did with the concept
