Sticking with history: The purchase of Alaska was also referred to as who's folly?

Seward. I believe it was William Seward for the Purchase of Alaska from Russia for $7 million dollars. Some people thought that it was folly to pay for a cold land far away
Ok. Kind of a related question: in 1840, Utah was a part of which country?
Mexico is correct. After the Mexican-American War ( 1846-1848 I think), the US paid Mexico for $15 million in exchange for California,Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado ( west of the continental divide) and parts of Idaho and Nevada. A pretty good deal
Loved that movie and remember the song being sung but I just can't come up with it. OFC
I have no idea, but I would like to see it. My dad had horrible COPD, but somehow he could sing Danny Boy perfectly every time we said goodbye, and then he would gasp like a fish out of water for twenty minutes. It was a miracle
The only instrument I can play is the kazoo. My rendition of Danny Boy will bring tears to your eyes. OFC
The only actor I can remember in this movie is Matthew Modine so that's my guess. OFC
Not Matthew. Here's a hint. He is a jazz singer from New Orleans and also had his own talk show.
I shall watch it! Harry Connick Jr appeared on an episode of CHEERS. What is the name of the song that plays during the opening credits of the show? You can miss by a word or two. Just the idea will be fine
Which Growing Pains actor co-wrote the theme songs for Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts of Life?
Alan Thicke is correct. I googled to make sure. On the same program, Growing Pains, the actress playing the mother was Joanna Kerns. What was the name of her famous real-life sister? Hint: She won two gold medals in swimming at the 1964 Olympics and was a sports reporter for ABC TV for 30 years
Jay North as a child actor played Dennis the Menace. He went on to star in a few movies as a teen one which was called The Teacher with sex symbol Angel Tompkins was by no means had an angelic plot. But he also was in a movie co - starring Sajid Kahn about an elephant. What was the name of that movie? OFC
Wow! There aren't too many elephant movies. Maybe the answer will come as I sleep. Probably not. I'm a bit bored. I watched YouTube last night. I stumbled upon a "Love Connection" episode in which a friend of mine had a good date with a Raiders cheerleader. Then I was directed to an excellent "Dating Game" episode with Jerry Mathers, The Beaver
The wife and I watch stuff on YouTube a lot. Seen tapes of old shows like Love Connection and The Dating Game. Tons of good stuff on YouTube. The movie about the elephant got a good billing when it came out around 1967-68. OFC
