Here's something a little different, but hopefully, not impossible.
This short-lived game-show of the last decade had a US and a UK version. In both, a contestant had to answer trivia questions, but could pick them (their order) from a list of categories they needed to exhaust to continue (usually 5 per category, a late season of one version changed that to 3 per category, but the entire board needed to be emptied to continue.) There was always a challenger waiting to take their place if they were eliminated. If they missed 2 questions in a row, the challenger got to pick the category of the next question. Any contestant who missed 3 questions in a row was eliminated, the challenger became the contestant, and a new challenger was brought in. The title of both shows was a misnomer, because at no time did they actually complete the task referenced in the title.
This was a "game show" that originated in the UK, and later had a US version. Both versions lasted for several years. They are shows where "the points don't matter", and there's 4 "contestants" in the "game show." Both shows had the same name. What is it?

Some of the "contestants" (comedians) were on both versions- including Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie, Wayne Brady and Greg Proops.
One of the two lead actors on this series never took an acting class.
The two main characters are mentioned in passing in the movie Zootopia.
Quite a few characters are murdered throughout the course of the series. The characters' unique way of getting rid of the evidence is fictional. The producers later explained that they were not in the business of teaching criminals how to dispose of bodies.

I think I saw about two episodes of BB. Dissolving bodies in HF seemed a bit odd to me, though I suspect that it would work.
Although the show is set in NYC, Palm trees are visible in the opening scenes and credits as the show was filmed in Los Angeles.
In summer 1984, a popular movie made one of the stars, at the time a relative unknown, a household name. NBC bought the rights to the ABC sitcom and re-aired select episodes to lead off their Saturday night line-up.
The main characters are named after two bars in Berkeley, CA: "Kip's" and "Henry's."

I'm not clear what your point is then. I don't think I'm much older than anyone here. I thought the whole point of this game was to stir memories ,and realize-'oh yeah-I do remember that show !' I'm

In the "Jump the Shark" episode of Batman B&B, they go through all of the ways to JTS listed on that website, including having Ted McGinley on! :lol: George

C) The DC/Fawcett character must be Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam. I think the show is Beat Shazam George

I know I've seen it (the American version). Just can't think of the title.

Do you remember what they were trying to accomplish?

No. Just vague memories of the selection board. Like seeing it in a dream.

This was "500 Questions." I'll come up with something else, unless someone else has one.

Not really a game show, though it follows that vague format

It almost sounds like "Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me!"; but that's a radio show.

And is phrased as an imperative rather than an interrogative. (It's not a question.)

"What's My Line?" (?)
Never mind. That's a question.

It is a question, if it's what I'm thinking:
Whose Line Is It Anyway?

That's it. Both versions of the show lasted for years, not counting syndication. And the UK one aired on US cable once it was in syndication.

Third clue really was a giveaway.
Take it, WW!

I thought it might be. I still don't understand WW's comment, though.
