Romancing The Stone
''Romancing the Stone'' is a 1984 action-adventure romantic comedy film directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Diane Thomas and produced by Michael Douglas, who also starred in the film. The film co-stars Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito. The film follows a romance novelist who must venture beyond her New York City comfort zone to Colombia in order to save her sister from criminals who are holding her for ransom as they search for a priceless treasure.

Zemeckis was eventually dismissed from ''Cocoon'' after an early screening of ''Romancing the Stone'' failed to further impress studio executives. Alan Silvestri, who would collaborate with Zemeckis on his later films, compos ...

Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp
''Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp'' is an American action/adventure comedy series that originally aired Saturday mornings on ABC from September 12, 1970 to January 2, 1971 and rebroadcast the following season. The live-action film series featured a cast of chimpanzees given apparent speaking roles by overdubbing with human voices. Production ''Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp'' had a "seven-figure budget" with location filming, props and costumes, and the laborious staging and training of the animals. The filmmakers made the most of the budget, staging multiple episodes with the same settings and wardrobe, occasionally reusing the more elaborate chase footage. Lance Link drove a 1970 Datsun Sports 2000 while villain Baron Von Butcher (and his chauffeur Creto) used a late-'50s Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. The primates themselves rode Kawasaki MB-1 Coyote minibikes in a number of episodes. Two of the three producers/creators were Stan Burns and Mike Marmer, former writers for ''Get Smart!'' ...

Accidental Family
''Accidental Family'' is an American sitcom broadcast on NBC during the first part of the 1967-68 U.S. television season. The show ran for sixteen episodes, from September 15, 1967, to January 5, 1968. The show aired on Fridays at 9:30pm, sandwiched between the non-sitcoms ''Star Trek'' before it, and documentaries after, which was not considered an auspicious timeslot. The program consistently lost in the Nielsen ratings to both the ''CBS Friday Night Movies'' and the ABC Western ''The Guns of Will Sonnett'' and was cancelled, midseason as a result. It was initially replaced by the first prime-time run of the game show ''Hollywood Squares''. Van Dyke publicly groused about the show's timeslot, complaining that nobody watched the show because of its competition. By October 13 — the airdate of the fourth episode — Van Dyke was already declaring defeat in the ''Arizona Daily Star''. "In this business you've got to have such confidence," he said, "and I never did, so I'm begin ...
