Who is the woman with Dr. Phil in this photo?

Does anyone know the name of the woman whom Dr. Phil is kissing in this photo? : https://i.pinimg.com/736x/11/97/1d/11971d2f5391d318c27f5f0acb202370--triple-action-serum.jpg Futurist110 (talk) 21:51, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

According to this,[1] it's Mrs. McGraw. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:37, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Several google searches confirms that it is Robin McGraw, his second (and current) wife. There's a picture of her in Wikipedia's article on Phil McGraw, but her face is obscured by large sunglasses. See Here.--Jayron 32 11:48, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Burt Reynolds

Sad to hear about Burt Reynolds. However, I seem to recall he starred > in a black & white movie in the 60"s where he played a CIA agent in > Vietnam. In fact, Judy Carne might also have been in the movie. I > cannot find a reference to it anywhere. Am I wrong? Thanks.69.122.161.108 (talk) 15:40, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Super Fuck Friends - number of episodes

A question about Super Fuck Friends, a French adult animated series:

How many episodes does that series have?

Thanks in advance. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 11:14, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The following site tells me 18 episodes as of 05 August: https://www.thetvdb.com/series/peepoodo-and-the-super-fuck-friends/seasons/all

Guitar playing style

In the provided South Park scene, what is the style of guitar playing used, if there is a proper term for it?

Thank you --72.235.231.236 (talk) 12:52, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit hard to pin down a style because the clip is so short. I can't even tell if it's an electric or acoustic guitar being played. It sounds a bit like the sort of flourish you might hear in experimental rock, but that's not much help. --Viennese Waltz 07:47, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keyhole Shape in Butterfly Stroke

Why is the keyhole shape in the butterfly stroke? I know that it's controversial whether S-shape is preferred in swimming in general, but there's a concensus about the keyhole shape in fly. Why is it? 2.53.37.33 (talk) 15:25, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This WikiHow article seems to explain (hopefully it makes sense to you):[2] -- For example: "The small kick is performed while you are making the keyhole shape with your arms. This is because your arms are providing forward momentum in addition to your legs, so the kick doesn't need to be as strong". 107.15.157.44 (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When in 1995 did Legends of the Hidden Temple last air?

As you may have seen, there's no exact end date given on the "Legends of the Hidden Temple" page and I really wish someone could figure out when in 1995 that game show last aired. Sources that say Legends last aired on June 27, 1995 are completely wrong. I'm sure some have the same question, but there has to be an accurate source that gives the show's true end date in 1995. Whoever caught the last aired episode, "The Lion-Headed Bracelet of Chandragupta" on tape the day it aired should know. If anyone knows exactly when in 1995 Legends last aired, good.

Alec Borden (talk) 03:29, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What is your reason for asserting that the first airing of the last episode was not on June 27, 1995?

According to IMDb (which, yes, is not a Reliable source but which seems fairly comprehensive and clear about this particular show), that was the first-airing date of the last episode, Season 3 Episode 40 "The War Fan of the 47 Ronin", while the episode you cite, "The Lion-Headed Bracelet of Chandragupta" first aired on December 9 1994 as Season 3 Episode 16.

You do realise that, like most shows, this series had various re-runs (mentioned in Legends of the Hidden Temple#Broadcast history), and that many TV shows have repeats of older episodes re-broadcast, sometimes on different channels, during later parts of the original run? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.60.253 (talk) 23:59, 9 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is wrong. It says that Season 3 of Legends started airing in the fall of 1994 when it started production on February 18, 1995, according to the "War Fan of the 47 Ronin" production slate. "The Lion-Headed Bracelet of Chandragupta" was the last Legends episode to air. Not all of the episodes aired by their production number (the production order was revealed in 2007 reruns and the production numbers for the episodes that made it to iTunes match those revealed during those reruns). The first completed episode, "Galileo's Cannonball", is said to be the premiere on IMDb when the first aired episode was "Lawrence of Arabia's Headdress". "Galileo's Cannonball" really aired on November 21, 1993. Don't know if anyone will get the message and fix the airdates on IMDb. June 27 clearly isn't when in 1995 Legends last aired as a few airdates after June 27 have been confirmed.

Alec Borden (talk) 00:29, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, clearly IMDb isn't accurate on this topic, and you may well be correct in all you've said, but you still haven't said how you know the date is wrong. If you can cite published Reliable sources that verify what you say, we can add content to the article accordingly, but if it's your personal knowledge from remembering the broadcasts (or someone else's assertion on the same basis), we can't. I'm not sure how a tape of the relevant broadcast in private hands would help, because that isn't a published source (and I doubt that such a tape would include both the broadcast date and a statement that it was definitively the first airing of the last episode to be broadcast).

You say "there has to be an accurate source that gives the show's true end date in 1995." Any suggestions as to where?

If only Glenn Weiss had had a biography written about him! Have you checked in the first two Book references listed at the end of the Dee Bradley Baker article? {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.60.253 (talk) 23:19, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This[3] might answer it. They're saying November 24, 1995. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:36, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It agrees with Alec Borden's assertion (whose basis he still hasn't explained), but it's also a wiki site, and therefore like IMDb (with which it disagrees) is presumably user-generated and can't be classed as a Reliable source. I don't have access to the two references I mentioned earlier as being listed under the Legends' narrator's article, namely

Brooks, Tim; Marsh, Earle F. (2009). The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network and Cable TV Shows 1946–Present (9th ed.). Random House Publishing Group. ISBN 9780307483201.

and

Terrace, Vincent (2008). Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925 through 2010 (2d ed.). McFarland. ISBN 9780786486410.{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: ref duplicates default (link)

but they seem to me quite likely to be both Reliable sources and to contain the relevant information. Perhaps someone actually resident in the USA (as I am not) could check them and, if either of them pass those tests, use it/them to insert and cite the data for which Alec faunches. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.122.60.253 (talk) 17:05, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If someone gets really desperate, they could ask the user on that wiki what their source was. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:28, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Or someone could ask at WP:RX to see if anyone has access to those books. Deor (talk) 21:40, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rapidfire band 1983
