The Julie Andrews one I was thinking of went like this: 1. Julie Andrews starred with Dick Van Dyke in "Mary Poppins" 2. Dick Van Dyke starred with Rose Marie in "The DVD show" 3. Rose Marie guest starred on the Monkees twice I was so happy to figure out that Miley Cyrus one that I got out of bed to post it! (Of course, that may explain why I'm so tired today...)

I admit I was a little confused on some of the answers like one somebody used Ami Dolenz being the daughter of Micky Dolenz as a connection. The reason I was confused on that one was the way I learned to play the game. The way I learned was you couldn't count a relationship as a connection and you could only count when they worked together. However, I checked IMDB and Ami and Micky Dolenz did work together in some productions. LOL. Now we're just waiting on someone to figure out the Will Smith connection from my last post. LOL.

I didn't really know how to play the original "6 Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon" game, so I just made up my own rules when I started this thread, and it seems to me to make sense to use any kind of relationship, not just work relationships. It's way too late at night (or should I say, early in the morning?) for me to try to research the Jerry Brown connection, so I'll leave that for the next player.

LOL). I checked IMDB and there are 12 different Jerry Browns and I have no idea which one of them was formerly a CA governor. LOL

We can use dating relationships in this game also, right? 1. Former CA. Governor Jerry Brown dated singer Linda Ronstadt. 2. Linda Ronstadt recorded the Michael Nesmith penned song "Different Drum". 3. Michael Nesmith is a Monkee. 3 degrees Next: Abbott & Costello

Ah yes, I live in the only state where our governor was known as Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown... He is actually now the mayor of Oakland.

Is that right or did I do it wrong?

Is that right or did I do it wrong? , Ray! Well, we are supposed to be talking about real people as opposed to fictional characters, but I nevertheless love this connection! One correction, though. The Invisible Man, by virtue of his invisibility, of course never made an "appearance" in either the film or the Monkees episode! I'm too tired to try to figure out a real people connection right now, so let's just put sc23's question out there again: How many degrees of separation (by actual people ) between The Monkees and Abbot & Costello?

Thanks. I used the word "Appearance" for the Invisible Man just for the sake of him being in the film. I knew he naturally didn't "Appear". Come on,give me some credit. Geeeezzz! Have fun. I'll pass on this game. Last Edited By: Jonesounds 04/08/08 10:13 PM. Edited 1 times.

Very imaginative! As for the connection she was aiming for, I have no clue. -

I'm sure LMBt would never set out to intentionally hurt anyone's feelings. Let's remember that these games here are for fun, not a competition.

Posts: 2690 (04/09/08 9:07 AM) Mistress of the Marathon Mod Squad Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Ray, I sincerely meant it when I said that I loved your answer! -- even if it didn't conform to the way that we'd been playing the game. I hoped that you would be glad to know that I got such a kick out of it and never in any way intended to hurt your feelings or make you "look like an idiot." I am so sorry that I made you feel bad, even though I never meant to, and I feel terrible that you took my apparently feeble attempt at a humorous play on words as an actual criticism. I would never intentionally hurt you, and I hope that you accept my apology. I was really happy that you were playing the game and would love it if you decide to play again either now or any other time, but it's up to you. Btw, I sent you a PM about this and other things, so if you haven't already I hope you'll take a look at it when you get a chance.

Posts: 329 (04/10/08 9:59 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Thank goodness for websites like IMDB and tv.com. LOL Here's my answer 1) According to IMDB, there was an animated series of "Abbott and Costello" that featured Mel Blanc as a voice (I didn't even know there was an animated series until I looked up IMDB. LOL) 2) Also according to IMDB, Mel Blanc had an uncredited role in "Monkees in a Ghost Town" as the Monkeemobile engine. Two degrees Next: Candace Cameron (I'm starting to forget who's already been used. LOL)

Nora Paperback writer Amazing Grace Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I guess all the usual game players have had a busy week so far. I know I usually don't get to the games until the evening, and that's when I've been having trouble accessing the board until tonight. So, I'll take a stab at it: 1. Candance Cameron is the sister of Kirk Cameron 2. Kirk Cameron starred on "Growing Pains" 3. Ami Dolenz guest-starred on that show. 4. Ami is the daughter of Micky Dolenz Next: "Mama" Michelle Phillips

I know that Kirk Cameron had a guest spot on "Full House". I can't even remember if that was what I was thinking or not. LOL

Posts: 4197 (05/31/08 12:27 PM) HEY NICE LAAADY! Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	I know it's been a long time but here's the Abbott and Costello connection I was thinking of way back in April: 1. Abbott and Costello starred in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein with Lon Chaney Jr. as The Wolfman. 2. Lon Chaney Jr. played Lenny in The Monkees episode "Monkees In A Ghost Town". Okay. How about Alyson Hannigan 1. Alyson Hannigan was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer with Sarah Michelle Gellar. 2. Sarah Michelle Gellar starred in Scooby-Doo with Freddie Prinze Jr. 3. Freddie Prinze Jr. guest starred on the Friends episode "The One with the Male Nanny" with Jennifer Aniston. 4. Jennifer Aniston starred in Ferris Bueller with Ami Dolenz. 5. Ami Dolenz is the daughter of Micky Dolenz. 6. Micky Dolenz is a Monkee. Next: hmmm, I'm blank.... Does anyone have someone they'd like to use for the next connection?

Here are the two that I was thinking. Option 1: 1) Alyson Hannigan was in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Sarah Michelle Gellar 2) Sarah Michelle Gellar was in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with Jennifer Love Hewitt (although if I remember correctly, Freddie Prinze Jr. was also in this movie too so that would have also worked. LOL) 3) Jennifer Love Hewitt was in "Home For Christmas" with Howard Hesseman 4) Howard Hesseman was in "Head of the Class" with Dan Frischman 5) Dan Frischman was in "Kenan & Kel" with Ken Foree 6) Ken Foree was in the newest "Halloween" movie with Micky Dolenz Option 2: 1) Alyson Hannigan was in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" with Sarah Michelle Gellar 2) Sarah Michelle Gellar was in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" with Jennifer Love Hewitt (although if I remember correctly, Freddie Prinze Jr. was also in this movie too so that would have also worked. LOL) 3) Jennifer Love Hewitt was on "Kids Incorporated" with Fergie (when she went by her full name of Stacy Ferguson) 4) Fergie had a guest spot on "Goode Behavior" as part of the group "Wild Orchid" with Sherman Helmesly 5) Sherman Helmesly was in "Amen" where Ken Foree had a guest spot 6) Ken Foree was in the newest "Halloween" movie with Micky Dolenz
