...sheepage! I did this last year, but not all my quotes were guessed, so I'm recycling a couple.  Mind you, a lot of mine are pretty obscure.

[1] Pick 12 TV shows.
[2] Then pick one of your favourite quotes from each show.
[3] Post the quotes in your journal.
[4] Have those on your friends list guess what the show is.
[5] Extra points for knowing the character's name.
[6] Strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified.

1.  “Peace is always worth it.”

2.  "I've found that evil usually triumphs... unless good is very, very careful."  ST:TOS, Dr. McCoy, guessed by cluesby4

3.  “This is Rosalyn. You damage her, you damage me, and I will make you walk all 12.6 lightyears back to Fat Anthony's Guitar Parlor in Shreveport, Louisiana to repair a single nick.”

4.  "Where there's a will, there's a Tom, Dick and Harriet."

5.  “We take all the money we got saved right now, we could maybe buy a moderately-sized gerbil.”  Firefly, Mal, guessed by bunchofgrapes

6.  "I don't know whether to laugh or cry. You have an offended mobster and his son. A case of mistaken identity. An incompetent hitman. A hitman's widow. A hitman's missing sister. A corrupt cop. And now another dead killer. It's operatic."

7.  “Okay good, okay fine.”  Beauty and the Beast, Mouse, guessed by eagertalker

8.  "Dead body! Bonus."  CSI, Sara Sidle, guessed by cluesby4

9.  “I'll stay here and round up a posse, in case I feel the need to cut anybody off at the pass.”

10.  "I have a keen grasp of the obvious."

11.  "Word to the wise - immortality is no excuse not to floss."   Forever Knight, Nick Knight, guessed by anamin

12.  "Today, we bring you greatest play in English language: Hamlet, by William Shakespeare. It no get classier than this."  Sesame Street, Cookie Monster, guessed by csimeezer



Bonus points if you can guess the quote in my icon!

Okay, trekker here...and getting ready for Shore-Leave next month!

"I've found that evil usually triumphs... unless good is very, very careful." This is McCoy in ST: Omega Glory.
How pathetic to know these things word-for-word.

"Dead body, bonus" - CSI: Sara. I love when she says this!

anyone good gonna be there?

[cluesby4.livejournal.com]

After over 20 years, I mainly go to see friends. I've met the entire cast of TOS, which was a major goal of mine.

Here's who will be there this year:

Nichelle Nichols and William Campbell from TOS.
Casey Biggs from ST:DS9
Paul McGillion from Stargate Atlantis
Aaron Douglas from Battlestar Galactica
Claudia Christian from Babylon Five
Colin Cunningham and Gary Jones from SG-I
Dean Haglund from X-Files and Lone Gunmen's

Very good! *applause* It's not pathetic...obsessive, maybe, but McCoy's always worth quoting!

[cluesby4.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the poster, "Everything I know about life I learned on Star Trek"? It has a honorary spot by me computer. LOL

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Not in some time, but I know what you mean! I used to have a STIV lobby poster somewhere, but I don't think I have it any longer.

[anamin.livejournal.com]

I'm so bad at this. #8 I wanna say CSI

I think #11 is definitely something Mulder would say from Bad Blood.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Half right! But cluesby4 got to #8 before you.

#11 predates X-Files slightly...though Mulder would have been very interested in it...

[anamin.livejournal.com]

Forever Knight? That was my gut instince for #11.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Oh, well done! That's one of the more obscure ones, really. I wasn't sure who remembered Forever Knight any more.

[anamin.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! I love it!! I have S 1 and 2 on DVD. . .I need S3. . .imma have to break down and buy it. That or it was from New Dark Shadows with Ben Cross.

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Lucky you--I can't afford 'em yet! I do have the original TV movie on DVD somewhere but I haven't watched it.

#12

[csimeezer.livejournal.com]

I know this one (I think) it's from Sesame Street. Cookie Monster says it during Monsterpiece Theatre.

Maria, who hopes this works 'cause she just got a LJ account and doesn't know how to use it yet.

Re: #12

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Absolutely right! :D Such a terrific show.

[bunchofgrapes]

I'm taking a wild guess because a) I know it's a show you like and b) it sounds like something from that show--even though I've never really watched it and c) it just sort of popped into my head so I'm testing my psychic ability. So here goes: #5 = Firefly.

Is Forever Knight the one with Geraint Wyn Davies? If so, and if you are a fan of his, did you happen to catch him in "Cyrano de Bergerac" a few years ago at The Shakespeare Theatre?

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Oh, outstanding, particularly if you're not a fan! Quite right. SO many good lines on that show--the snark was thick and rich.

Yes, GWD was the star of Forever Knight. As for Cyrano, I wish! He's a great actor and I love that play, but alas no. It's always cash-flow issues. :P

[bunchofgrapes]

Woot! My psychic abilities score again! Now if I could only get them to work with the lottery.

I really wanted to see Cyrano when it was here. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go. Next time I'm calling you. Just so you know...

number 7 quote

[eagertalker.livejournal.com]

Ok good Ok fine ....Mouse from beauty and the beast? I know this has been up for awhile but I'm just catching up on some of my fav authors and I saw this on your web site and had to respond to the one quote I think that I know. anne

Re: number 7 quote

[vr-trakowski.livejournal.com]

Fantastic!! Somebody finally got it! *cheers* I was beginning to think no one remembered poor Mouse. I think he was probably my favorite character--after Vincent, of course.
