As I was right last in the original, I suppose the honor of starting the second edition of this wonderful game falls upon me. To quote Splunge, the recognized creator of 'Name That T.V. Show':

So here’s the deal. Name something identifiable with a particular T.V. show. It could be anything – a character, location, organisation, often-used phrase - whatever. Try to avoid something that could easily be from more than one show. The person who correctly guesses the show gets to go next.

Same rules as the other games apply – wait for confirmation, no Google searches, impatient jackass rule if someone doesn’t post a new clue within 24 hours after having their guess confirmed correct, etc.
And to start off the new round:

Of the original main cast members of the show, only Weaver and Carter remain.

E.R.?

Yup, you be up Laiwethel.

Wow, lucky guess :)

Characters in this show include Col. Jack O'Neil, Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c.

Stargate SG-1

J.A.G.

You're up JSBB!

Everybody's final appointment is scheduled on a post-it note.

Newhart?

No, it is not Newhart.

Frasier?

Dead Like Me?

Yeah it is Dead Like Me. Go Mesmero.

Bah, never heard of it.

Doug, Carrie and Arthur.

King of Queens?

King of Queens is correct.

Next time, remind me to think up something harder.

Ok, this was one of the main charchters trademark line -

Hey Now !

Mr. Belvedeere? (IIRC the dad used to say it a lot)

Not from Mr. Belvedeere

The A-Team?

I pity the fool who thinks it's from the A-Team ;)

Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids?

Harbourboy, I think you just made that one up. You have too much spare time! Join the New-Zealand Navy!

I didn't make up Fat Albert. He was always saying "Hey Hey Hey" so I thought he might have said "Hey Now" as well. If I'm way off mark then give us some more clues.

The line is from a comedy, taking a behind-the-scenes look at a late night talk show.

Garry Shandling Show?

Actually, The Larry Sanders Show, but since we're not splitting hairs here...

Oh yeah. Glad you knew what I meant.

OK. how about this one:

The main character of this show was effectively a male nanny.

Charles in Charge?

..of our days and our nights....

Yes. Charles in Charge. You win. I must choose something slightly harder next time......

I am not a number, I'm a free man!

The Prisoner?

Yup, your go.

Woohoo. Here's one for Splunge but it will probably have gone before he gets back. Might be easy, might be tricky (knowing me, it will probably be easy)...........

The main actors in this show included:
- a character actor who has gone on to a career in movies (in front and behind the camera)
- a one trick actor who went on to play an identical character in a long running but bad sitcom
- an actor who played a Kramer-like character and went on to be the star of my third favourite movie trilogy
- an actor whose life was the subject of a movie
- an actress who went on to a string of terrible TV mini-series
- ironically the star of this show probably went on to become the least famous of all his co-stars.

Well, two of those clues make me think it might be Taxi

Ah, good work Splunge. Yet another of my offerings is guessed on the first attempt. For clarity, the actors referred to in my clues were:
Danny deVito
Tony Danza (Who's The Boss)
Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future)
Andy Kaufman (Man in the Moon)
Marilu Henner
Judd Hirsch

Your turn, Splunge-bob.

I didn't really watch the show, but I thought deVito and Kaufman were two of the people.

Next up:

Buffy, Jodi and Mr. French

Err, it can't be Buffy the Vampire slayer, can it?

'cause I think it was a Ms. French :p

Ara, if you had correctly guessed this show, I would have been shocked, since it was on when your parents were probably kids. :D

No, not Buffy the Vampire Slayer. :p

/me looks up hastily at the prospect of a show from HER era

Family Affair. What an easy chestnut!

Try this: Phoebe Figalilly and Harold Everett

Yes. :)

Oops, confirmation came while I was editing my post to include a question... look up, folks! :roll:

Sounds annoyingly familiar, strangely enough...

Soap?

*sigh*

I need to watch more TV...

Hmm, it's ringing a bell. I'm thinking an older show that's sort of the T.V. equivalent to Mary Poppins, but the name of it is escaping me.

I'm thinking something like the Nanny and the Professor, but I may be mixing this up with something else.

Nope, dmc, you're right on the money. Fire away!

Does anyone mind if I jump in with a suitable question?
where are the following individuals from in the show MASH?
Hawkeye-
BJ-
Radar-
Col Potter-
Col Blake-
Klinger-
Rizzo(state only)-

Hawkeye-Crabapple Cove, ME
BJ-Mill Valley, California (a GORGEOUS town!)
Radar-Iowa
Col Potter-Missouri
Col Blake-Illinois
Klinger-Cleveland, OH
Rizzo(state only)-Louisiana (somewhere in the Bayou)

Back to you, dmc...

excellent Rallymama

John Gage and Roy Desoto

Riptide?

Nope.

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit?

Come on! I'm old -- think old. I don't even watch TV any more.

Hawaii Five-O?

Now you're just guessing (although it is suitably old). :)

Harbourboy is just in a hurry to get to 2,000 posts; his next guess would probably be The Munsters. :p :p

Anyway, this one's ringing bells too. There was an emergency rescue show on 30-35 years ago; in fact, I think it was called Emergency, and I think Gage and Desoto were the names of the two main characters.

It's slightly more productive to make an educated guess than to say "I have no idea, give us a hint, you meanie!".

My next guess was not going to be "The Munsters".....it was "Z-Cars".

Splunge, however, is suitably old - his turn.

I find this thread to be threadjacked by old geezers! Tongue-in-cheek aside it would be a teensy-weensy bit of fun if we could try to have somewhat contemporary stuff so the people not yet 30 may have a chance. It is hard enough as it is in not being America. I will stop my whining now ;)

*really just want to put forth his show for guess work*

Actually, the teensy-weensy bit of fun part is listing shows that all you young whippersnappers haven't got a clue about. :p

OK, joacqin, how's this? - Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist (probably a softball)

hehehe - scooped!

Remington Steele

Since I happen to agree with Splunge that it's fun to finally have an arena around here where age and treachery really do overcome youth and skill, I offer this challenge:

Name the actor who brought both of these TV roles to life (bonus points if you also name the shows the characters are from):
Tom Corbett
Anthony Blake

Well, it has to be Bill Bixby because of the Courtship of Eddie's Father (Tom Corbett), but what was the show with him as Anthony Blake? I'm drawing a blank.

Drat, that was too quick. Since you got 2/3 of it right I'll give you the other piece... "The Magician," my favorite show as a pre-teen. I had a HUGE crush on Bill Bixby then...

No accounting for a nine-year-old's taste, eh? Take it away, dmc! :roll:

Higgins!!!! (Yelled with a slightly petulant whine in the voice)

Magnum PI

That's it.

I hereby invoke the Impatient Jackass rule and hijack the thread: :p

At the end of the opening theme song, the protagonist would say his catch phrase: "lets get dangerous".

Minor hint: he said it with a lisp ;)

Darkwing Duck

Good grief, don't you do anything but watch tv? :p Your turn :)

Hey, that one was easy as soon as you mentioned the lithp...

How about:

An eternal struggle between twins Adam and Zachary (played by the same actor) that will decide the fate of the world. The bad guy is helped by a beautiful witch called Beatrice, while the hero's main helper is a strange fat monk called Godbold...

Hmm, sounds familiar but I can't quite place it.

Sounds like something I read of in a Bryan Brown filmography

Aha, Aldazar is close...

Any guesses on the name of the show?

Still no ideas. Roll out some clues so we keep this game moving along.

Ok, it doesn't look like anyone is going to get this one - but Aldazar was almost there so he might as well continue...

The series was called 'Wanderer' and was actually quite good. I don't really know any more about it - I just happened to see it one evening on TV and watched it during the next year or so...

Never heard of it. Oh well. /waits for Aldazar to come up with something obscure.

You putting this in MY hands again??

I'll give it a shot and I think I have an easy one.

A 'colour-blind' amnesiac with a computer-like brain is on the run from a mysterious, malevolent organisation.

Joe 90?

Nope, much more recent.

(I had to look Joe 90 up on IMDB to find out what it was)

No idea. Can't think of any TV amnesiacs.

John Doe?

not on topic:

IMDB?

I'd say Star-Trek (for Data) but that's obviously not it.

I'm tempted to say The Pretender, but Jarrod wasn't an amnesiac, and he wasn't color blind...

It sounds so familiar.

I'm stumped.
BTW, this isn't an American TV show, is it?

We're all stumped. Give us a clue!

Mesmero got it, it was John Doe.

And I thought The Pretender might figure in some people's thoughts, that's why I added the amnesiac bit.

@Enagonios - IMDB (http://www.imdb.com) is basically a database of info on virtually ANY movie/TV series ever made.

@Enagonios - IMDB is basically a database of info on virtually ANY movie/TV series ever made....and using it to answer these questions is decidely CHEATING! ;) :roll:

A father and his son solve murders; one does it for a living, the other is a doctor.

Crazy as a fox! - I think. The one with Jack Warden? That was a great show :)

Nope, that's not the one I have in mind.

Diagnosis murder?

Yep, Diagnosis Murder is correct. I really need to watch more tv, to come up with something besides these utter softballs.

This show had a golden condor in it, and was set in south America.

Well, that's me out, as I cannot think of any shows at all that were set in South America.

Sounds like some old Hanna-Barbara cartoon.

Birdman?

...and using it to answer these questions is decidely CHEATING! That's why I only use it in instances such as the one that I did - if someone guesses something that I've not heard of, I check to make sure it's not like that show I intended. I never actually use it to post a guess.

Anyway, is it "The Mysterious Cities Of Gold" Takara?

yup. My all time fav memory from growing up. You're up Aldazar.

Like you, if I've no idea on a quote, I'll sometimes check IMDB, but after I've checked. I'll never post a guess.

"The Mysterious Cities Of Gold"? Sounds a bit Road to El Dorado-ish

Okay, hopefully this is an easy one because I have a hectic week and I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post this week.

A cop framed for killing his girlfriend breaks out of jail and becomes a bounty hunter in order to find the real killer.

He was a cop, and good at his job... lol - Renegade?

Yup, I figured it's be an easy one. You're up notforyou

Can't think of anything good right now, so anybody with a quote ...

OK - I have one:

Transmute!

Transformers? :p

That's the only thing that came to my mind too. :rolling:

No, not Transformers. One of the main characters of this show said "Transmute!" about once per episode to herald an event that happened pretty much once per episode.

Sounds like Battle of the Planets (a cartoon here in the states which was adapted from an earlier Japanese cartoon). I think it was later renamed G-Force. Pretty avant-garde at the time, and probably a precursor to such things as Pokeman and the like.

Of course, I am probably completely wrong and just showing my age.

dmc is correct, except for his comparisons to Pokemon. Battle of the Planets was great! It was about these 5 kids who regularly saved the Earth from aliens with the help of their hi-tech vehicles. Their leader, Mark, said "Transmute!" and their normal every day vehicles became super-charged. When things became really bad, all their vehicles bolted onto their plane (the Phoenix) which then transformed into the "Fiery Phoenix" - a dangerous manoeuvre which, not surprisingly, always seemed to work (a bit like Voltron's "Blazing Sword"). Anyway - enough reminiscences.....it's your turn dmc.

Gee our old Lasalle ran great

And you knew who you were thennnnn
Goils were goils and men were men
Mister we could use a man like Hoibert Hoover agaaaaaain

:grin:

All In The Family

Ain't waiting on that one.

Thurston Howell III

Gilligans Island

Absolutely! :)

Your turn.

the theme is called "suicide is painless"

MASH

correct, your up.

Right:

This was a show about an organisation of intergalactic crime-fighters whose greatest nemesis ;) were a group of beings from the Vapor Zone Dimension, who have the ability to travel between dimensions, and the treacherous renegade Jessie Blue.

Blake 7?

Nope. Hint: animated.

More hints please.

Yeah... at the moment, I'm struggling for an animated sci-fi. Only got futurama. :lol:

Ok, I'm going to be away for three days, so a heavy hint follows:

The main characters were:
- A british swordsman
- A japanese car racer
- An american cowboy
- and a girl whose father desgned their giant robot - Renegade

Lucky Luke?

SABRE RIDER AND THE STAR SHERRIFS OF THE SKY??? hehe. man, it sounds like it... but i'm not too sure. last time i saw the damn show i had a single-digit age :p

Well, since Vukodlak said he's away for a few days, I googled it, and it appears that Enagonios is right, so I guess it's his turn.

Awright. here's mine:

The Age of Science has ended, and the Second Age of Magic has begun. The dark age for civilization has resulted in feudal societies being formed which wage war upon one another. Yet thanks to the great wizard Merklynn, 14 Knights have gained magical powers of transformation. The group is divided between the good Spectral Knights and the evil Darkling Lords.

ah yes, back in the good old days when cartoons were still good ;)

Ooh I think I remember that show - it is Visionaries, the show based upon the line of action figures with hologram logos on them, right?

hehe man, you watch everything! yup, you got it. did the action figures come before the cartoons? I always thought that it was the other way around...

did the action figures come before the cartoons? I always thought that it was the other way around... It was the same with the Zoids cartoon. That was based on the toys rather than vice-versa.

Yeah, many of the 80s cartoons were made to be commercials for already created lines of toys - He-Man and the Masters of the Universe was probably the most blatant example but there are many to choose from.

As for my next show - every episode saw the crew of the Mean Machine resorting to underhanded tactics and losing badly when they backfired - always leading to one member of the crew cursing while the other stood there snickering at him.

Dick Dastardly and Muttley (aka stop the pigeon)?

could also have been whacky races

It is Wacky Races, as far as I know they didn't use the Mean Machine in Dastardly and Muttley.

@JSBB

i guess i do learn something new everyday, I always thought that cartoons came before action figures :D

Hmm... ok...

Maybe a softball.... but this show had Doozers living under a lighthouse.

Fragle Rock?

Heh, thought it might be a softie. ;) You're up VI.

Thanks Takara. Ok this one's a golden oldie and it's a HUGE softball for anyone who's ever watched Nick at Nite :p .


This is an excerpt from the TV show's intro/theme song:


"Goodbye grey skies
Hello blue.
There's nothing can hold me
When I hold you.
Feels so right,
It can't be wrong.
Rockin' and rollin' all week long."


Like I said, it's really easy.

Happy days :roll:

Right on the mark, Takara. You're up.

Since I'm extolling some old children programs....

You have a talking jet, fuel truck, baggage truck, and tow truck...

Budgie? Or whatever Fergie's creation was called.
Either way, it sounds like a Thomas The Tank Engine-type show.

Bob the Builder?

Jamie and the Jet Set?

Sorry, Jimbo & the Jet Set?

[ October 28, 2004, 17:20: Message edited by: Carcaroth ]

hehe, You've got a good memory there Carcaroth. It is indeed Jimbo & the jet set. :shake:

It's not that old (is it?) Too much time watching kiddies TV as an adolescent.

This may be easy for some of the older members. I loved it as a kid.

Simon MacCorkindale played British Doctor (or professor?) Jonathan Chase with a special skill in crime fighting in this early 1980's sci-fi set in New York.

Clues for the weekend:
Key is the "Special Skill" (worthy of a b-list comic book super hero) if you knew this, you'd know the program.
Only 8 episodes made, plus a feature length one
Ursula Andress stared in the feature length TV film.
Known (for a time) as David Lettermans favorite program. Apparently, he even paid tribute to it with a touching short film when it was cancelled.

[ October 29, 2004, 16:49: Message edited by: Carcaroth ]

No idea on that one.

hmm... dont really know that myself. When it comes to crime fighting doctors, I cant get past Diagnosis murder.

Manimal? I don't remember the character's name in that show but the rest sounds kinda like it.

The only other thing is I don't remember it as being British. But I WAS young back then.

Bah, this one has gone on for three days now. Get on with it!

I googled it. It was Manimal, so it's Aldazar's turn.

Actually, according to a book I have at home - "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Fantasy" - it was a US production, I found out last night.

Anyway, next:
A man killed in a subway accident is 'reborn' and genetically modified by the US Government then forbidden to see his family.

sounds like robocop.. heh

Damn, remember seeing the trailers for this one, but it's name doesn't spring to mind yet.

Oh, I never said it was a British production, just that he was a British doctor.

Gemini Man?

Oh, I never said it was a British production, just that he was a British doctor. Mea culpa, read it wrong I guess. But I did get the right answer so...not all bad then.

Anyway, not Gemini Man. I've not actually heard of that I don't think. This one only lasted one season IIRC.

I got flashbacks of it on my way home last night and it's now really bugging me.
He was a portly middle agged chap that fell (pushed?) under a subway train. They then used his Brain in a 20-something body. I think he kept trying to help his wife because the insurance company refused to pay out saying it was suicide.
Pretty sure it was a Sky 1 program, around the same time as the first series of Dark Angel.

Can I "phone a friend" ?

[ November 05, 2004, 15:35: Message edited by: Carcaroth ]

I know that the guy who fell, as well as the voice in his inner dialog was played John Goodman, IIRC.

Damned if I knowthe title, but I'll HB it.

Umm, 6 Million Doller Man?

Carcaroth is definitely on the right track. Got everything correct except the name is missing.
The 'portly' chap is probably much better known for starring opposite a very annoying and grating woman in another sitcom.

Crap, the connection to the Subway keeps making me think of Ghost with Patrick Swayze :/

I gave up and had to ask one of my old flatmates, and no, I was never going to get it by myself.

Given the sparsity of other suggestions, despite having the main plot line for three days, I think you may need to come up with a new one Aldazar.

I have no idea and can't even think of anything speculative to guess that even has a chance of being right. C'mon Aldazar, keep it moving!

Quicksilver? Maybe that was a different show...

Man is this STILL going? Come on!

err... Lexx?

(pure guessing...)

Okay, the main guy was played in his 'portly' incarnation by John Goodman, then in his trimmed version by Eric Close. The series also starred Dennis "President Palmer" Haysbert as the main character's 'Handler'.

Yeah, we knew about John Goodman, but as for the title, I am still drawing a blank.

It lasted what, one season? Two at the most. More details man.

''then and now"

IIRC the hteme song had the same name as the show and the song was sung by a female.

Heather Matarazzo played the main character's daughter I think.

I think this has gone on long enough Aladazar. New TV show quote, or an IJ will jump in.

DHB is very, very close.

Now and Then?

OK, since Aldazar seems to show up only once every 2 or 3 days, as the initiator of this game, I'm going to declare DHB correct since she was the closest (google says it was actually Now and Again).

(Sorry, Aldazar, but this has been going on far too long - if you want to play, you need to show up more often :p ;) )

DHB is up. But don't take too long. :p

This tv show told you creepy stories that were true and creepy stories that were lies. At the end of the hour they recapped the stories telling you which were based on true accounts and which were fabricated by the writers. James Brolin and Jonathan Frakes were the hosts.

Bah. I remember the show, but didn't really watch it. It was called something like Unbelievable (although I don't think that's quite right).

Ripley's Believe it or Not?

Is that that show hosted by Jonathan Frakes? yeah, something like The Unbelievable or Fact or Fiction or something?

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction

Saw it in the listings yeaterday.

Damn! Beyond Belief - that was it. (And I googled to make sure.)

Oh well, even though DHB should confirm, Jag might as well go.

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction is correct :thumb: Go Jag

Apologies for not showing up that often, I do try to post softballs when I do get a chance though because my work schedule is awkward right now. Not to fear, I'll be back in form as of Wednesday next week.

Gaia, Kwame, Wheeler, Linka, Gi, Ma-Ti.

"The Power Is Yours!"

Captain Planet (and the Planeteers). Now I'm probably gonna have that theme song stuck in my head all day.


Next:
J.D., Elliot and Turk are interns at the wackiest hospital ever.

(Probably too easy...)

Scrubs

Correct :thumb:

T'was fairly easy. I think "Green Wing" may challenge it for wackiest hospital status though.


Marshall and Simon investigate strange goings on in a small American town.

That town being Eerie, Indiana?

Thought it may be a soft ball. Correct

Bah! I have already used Scrubs once! Get your own shows! ;)

Hey everybody, it's the Seavers!

Grrr.... why oh WHY was I asleep? I would have gotten that Captain planet one.... *pout*

Time for a hint, Jag

A hint? Man, I thought this one was a soft ball.

The theme song starts out "We're nowhere near the end. The best is ready to begin . . ."

It was off air, but it recently came back with a sequal type show, starring Kirk Cameron, Brandon Douglas, Tracey Gold, Ashley Johnson, Joanna Kerns, Jeremy Miller, Chelsea Noble, and Alan Thicke.

If nobody gets it now, Ill eat Splunge's leather armour.

Growing pains? You forgot 'boner' :D

Correct. Make us think Vukodlak. :hmm:

O'er the hills and o'er the plain,
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain,
King George commands and we obey,
Over the hills and far away.

Man.... totally excellent series that! have it all on DVD. Sharpe. :thumb:

Indeed. Chosen man Takara ;)

I will not be filed, stamped, briefed, debriefed...

The Prisioner?

I'm not a turnip, I'm a free Gnome! um... :hahaerr:

your turn Lai.

Who do you serve, and who do you trust?

I am haveina very vivd mental image here.... Crusade.

Since Lai wont be on for a bit, she's told me and I can confirm that it was Crusade. You're up.

Yayness... now, what to pick, what to pick...


The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Lord Byron. Richie Redstone. Tessa Noel.

All are somehow relevat to the show in question :D

The Young Ones?

Nope :)

Highlander?

I think I can confirm laiwethel's answer.

It is, indeed, Highlaner. And the ball id off to Laiwethel...

Ah, Highlander, what a show.

Okay, next show on the list:

A living ship manned by escaped convicts and a human fight Peacekeepers, Sebaceans and other alien, or not so alien, races.

Blakes Seven?

Nope, not Blakes Seven.

Oh, I know this one. Damn my memory...

I think maybe Farscape?

You think correctly, Jag. Farscape it is.

Man, I am on a role. Lemme see...

"The best thing about childhood is... at some point it stops." - Malcolm

Malcom in the Middle? (or is that too obvious?)

Obvious but correct.

Ah cool :)

How 'bout this:

'GENERAL VON KLINKERHOFFEN!!!'

Hogan's Heroes?

Isn't that from Allo Allo?

'Allo 'allo indeed. Your turn Mesmero

One of the characters in this show is a wrestler called The Cry Baby

This is just typical, I have logged on only to find that I knew the latest show but it had already been guessed for six of the seven previous shows - and when I finally log on and find an unguessed show I don't know it.

Well, I guess that means I will just have to take a wild guess and try a show I have never even seen! Is it Mucha Lucha?

You're not alone JSSB, the easy ones always appear to be in (my) evenings. The only "shows" with wrestlers I can think of is the WWF ones.

It isn't Mucha Lucha (I've never even heard of it).

The Cry Baby is one of the main characters from this sitcom.

Los Lucha- Dores? Probably not, but still a damn funny show while it lasted.

Nope, never heard of that one either.

The two main characters from this show came to Las Vegas to persue their dreams; one became a wrestlers (nicknamed The Cry Baby) and his wife became a dancer.

Nikki? (or somwthing close...)

Nikki it is.

Go!

Impatient jackass time.

Next:

I hate meeses to pieces!

I think it was from Huckleberry Hound, although I think Jinx the cat is the character that said it.

Definitely Hanna Barbera material.

You're on the right track, dmc, but it's not from Huckleberry Hound (other than generally, much as Foghorn Leghorn was part of the Bugs Bunny show, but they never appeared in the same cartoons). It is Hanna Barbera, as you say.

The show was named after the "meeses".

Klondike Kat maybe seems like it was on with chilly willy.

Nope. It was actually very much like Tom & Jerry.

Pixie and Dixie and that cat.

umd'lay umd'lay ariba ariba.
(Ot something like that)

Speedy Gonzales zee faster mouse in zee west.

Space Jam

DHB got it right - Pixie and Dixie (and Mr. Jinks, as dmc said).

I think that Pixie and Dixie was the name of the skit, but the overall show (as introduced on the hour or half hour, whenever it started, was actually Huckleberry Hound (just like Foghorn Leghorn or the Roadrunner was the skit, but the show was Bugs Bunny).

That being said, whatever. Take it away DHB.

I know what you're saying, dmc - I was looking for the name of the specific cartoon (or 'skit'), rather than the overall show. Just like I would expect the right answer to "Wiley E. Coyote" to be the Road Runner, not Bugs Bunny.

But hey, it's Friday, I'm in a good mood, and it's only a game. So dmc or DHB - whoever posts first can take it. :D

This TV character was a New Orleans insurance company investigator. While on a case he had the double misfortune of having his wife killed and his eyesight destroyed by people determined that he not solve the case. Despite his injury, he refused to quit the business and with the help of his canine guide dog Pax to help him get around he felt confident of his abilities to solve cases. His girl Nikki was his biggest booster and his friend Duke Paige worked with him on many cases. Bruce Lee appeared throughout the series as his self-defense instructor.

On second thought, I think I'll just give it to dmc. :p

(j/k - I have no idea on yours, DHB)

Does the name James Franciscus help. hehe

The seeing eye dog was a white german shepherd if I'm remembering correctly (gorgeous dog). Those scenes where ********** would go into a trance and "see" what happened always had me hooked when I was a kid.

[ November 19, 2004, 22:51: Message edited by: T2Bruno ]

Since nobody has gotten this one and I am starting Thanksgiving break and may not be online much the answeer was "LONGSTREET" First person to post can start a new one.

O.K. DHB but everyone will curse you for letting me post this one.

This children's show's theme song was "I've got a head like a ping pong ball" sung (repeatedly) to the tune of the William Tell Overture. :shake:

GAH! I have no idea what the show is, but I can imagine how the song goes. And goes. And goes. And...

Damn you, JSBB! :grr:

:p
