The first 2 are correct (strength and Truman Capote) so I'll give a hint for number 3:

One movie starred Jack Nicholson, and the other starred Liza Minelli.

Wow! Quislet, I truly believeed I was going to have to give another hint or 2, but you nailed it.

It was kind of funny - I recently read "The Sterile Cuckoo" and after I finished it, I started reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." I was halfway through the second book before I realized both books have the word "cuckoo" in them.

Both books are excellent, by the way!

You're up Quis!

30 is correct as is cheeetah (yes I meant fastest)

Hooperman and 8 Simple Rules are series staring John Ritter, but he did not play a minister in them.

No, not those series. In Hearts Afire he played an aide to a senator. He played 2 different characters on Hawaii 5-O. I don't think either of them were a minister.

Nope, those are not the shows.

Hint time: John Ritter was not the star in either show. In one he was a reoccurring character. In the other he was there for one episode.

Well seeing how both those shows were from the 90s/00s and not the 70s (as per my hint) the answer is incorrect. (although he did play a priest in the Family Law episode. The listing for his 2 characters in Touched by an Angel does not indicate that the character is a minister)

3. Family Law and The Waltons.

(I discovered The Waltons role early on. After my 2nd or 3rd guess. But didn't want to give it away to a casual interloper. I've essentially been using both guesses to figure out the 2nd one)

The Waltons is correct. Family Law is still incorrect because it wasn't on in the 70s. The Waltons was the reoccurring role. In the other he marries two of the characters.

Family Law is not incorrect; your original question does not specify 70s.

It was, "John Ritter played a minister in what 2 series?" See? No 70s.

As far as I'm concerned, I've met the criteria of your original questions. Just because I've named a series you did not think of, that's no reason to penalize my answers.

But it was specified in the hint given before you guessed Family Law. Also in Family Law he played a priest "Father Andrews" and not a minister.

However, seeing as no one else is guessing, you can have the next question.

The other show was the Mary Tyler Moore Show. He married Ted & Georgette. And he wore a tennis outfit.

Priests are a type of minister, just as Cadillacs are a type of car.

And again, if you intended your hint to be a requirement rather than an aid, you should have included that stipulation in the question itself. Your hint worked for only 2 of the 3 correct answers to your original question, thus was problematic.

New Q soon.

okay, then:

1. What nineteenth/twentieth century saint shares both a first and last name with a well known cartoonist? (the first names are identical except for a two-letter suffix; the surnames are identical)

2. What do Navojoa, Mexico and Banshanxiang, China have in common with Easter Island, a trait not shared by any other place on dry land?

3. What periodical boasted works by Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling and Arthur Conan Doyle, all in the same year?

1. Walter Kelly
2. I can't even think of a guess (which is obviously what my other two answers are)
3. Strand

1. nope. not even initials are correct. But the cartoonist in question, like Kelly, is deceased.
2. I'll wait for actual guesses before I offer hints
3. good guess! but as far as I'm aware, Wilde never was published in the Strand, let alone in the same year as the others. Hint: The periodical, like the Strand, was published in London, but also in another city outside the UK.

1. Johnny Hart
2. Er...I read something about Easter Island being located on top of three extinct volcanoes? Is that it?
3. I don't have another guess for this, unfortunately

1. Not that I know of (and still no correct initials). Perhaps best known for animation, but also panel art.
2. nope. more geography than geology; maps will serve you better than description.
3. the year was 1890.
