I'm going to let someone else answer, but meanwhile, more on Disco Demolition Night:

http://www.baseballlibrary.com/baseballlibrary/submit/Wright_S.R.1.stm

The evening was to begin with Dahl, escorted by WLUP personality known as “Lorelei,” throwing out the ceremonial first ball to White Sox backup catcher Mike Colbern. As Dahl remembers it, Colbern took an instant liking to Lorelei, hit on her, and disappeared with her into the dugout leaving Dahl with a baseball and nobody to throw it to. What really transpired is a topic for conjecture, but an extant photograph does show Colbern kissing Lorelei. It may not have been much, but for a catcher whose career spanned all of 80 games and 224 at-bats, it was definitely the highlight. In any case, an inauspicious beginning. Apparently nobody was interested in baseball this evening.

Coulda swore the Disco Demolition Night games were against the Texas Rangers ...

Nope. You're probably thinking of 10-Cent Beer Night in Cleveland in the mid 70s, also resulting in a forfeit.

My contribution ... name a TV show based out of Indianapolis.

One Day At A Time.

We have many unanswered questions.

Didn't the first season of Saved By The Bell, then known as Good Morning Miss Bliss, also take place in Indianapolis?
Can we get the answer to the Ed Hillary, Liz Taylor question?

Who is the only performer to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony?

I got the One Day At A Time question right, so here's mine:

Who was the first champion of MTV's Friday Night Fights? (Bonus: What song?)

Who is the only performer to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony?

That would be Rita Moreno.

(And yes, the correct answer to my question was Faye Resnick.)

I think all of the questions are answered, so I will pose another one:

What are the two monopolies you can get on a single turn around the board in Monopoly. Remember triple doubles land you in jail.

 

[Johnny Dangerously]

"The Bells of St. Mary's"

During what popular song, never released as a single but widely played anyway, does the composer and singer's daughter say "Eat me," prompting him to reply, "Eat you??"

Still waiting ...

I think all of the questions are answered, so I will pose another one:

Uhhh, no, BD.

Sir Edmond Hillary and Elizabeth Taylor. Common thread (other than never having been in your -- or my -- kitchen), folks.

They both climbed Richard Burton?

 

[DanOregon]

They've both been dubbed by Queen Elizabeth II - one's a sir the others a dame,

Excellent guess. Wrong, but an excellent guess, nonetheless.

Both Sir Edmond Hillary and Elizabeth Taylor sold their signature product lines through Sears.
