  1. This one may be a little tough, unless you watch a lot of sci-fi/fantasy TV: Holly Marten Charlie Bradbury Kinga Forrester George
  2. Green Arrow meets Highlander. George
  3. One show, one answer. Until it was surpassed by the Simpsons in 2004, this was the longest running comedy series in American television history. The lead character was ranked #21 in TV Guide's list of the "50 Greatest TV Dads of All Time" (20 June 2004 issue). After it was cancelled, the series was replaced (time slot) by "Batman." George
  4. Six Pack Barry Corbin Urban Cowboy George
  5. That's all I've got. Unless Human or Raf chimes in (or some lurker -- where's Hiway29 when you need him?) I think it's time to turn over all the cards. George
  6. This one seems VERY familiar. In fact, I think the lines were more spoken than sung. But the rest of the song isn't coming to me. George
  7. H) Heckle and Jeckle occasionally featured Dimwit Dog. Is that whom you mean, here? George
  8. Except that, according to WW, Sylvester was a FOX in this cartoon... George
  9. Interesting that the one you consider most obscure is the one I recognized immediately. A) is "Tom Terrific." D) I believe, is "The Katzenjammer Kids." A couple of the others seem vaguely familiar, but I have no guesses. George
  10. It is not. It is. The full scorecard: Hosted by LA local Gene Weeds, this show was frequented more by girl groups than the other shows. Also notable was a young (obviously) Teri Garr as one of the dancers. Syndicated, 1965-1966 Shivaree This Dick Clark show was different in that the locations were all outside: beaches, parks, etc. It featured a lot of the heavy hitters of the day: The Byrds, The Who, The Shangri-Las, James Brown, Bobby Rydell, The Zombies, Dusty Springfield, Marvin Gaye, the Kinks. The "house band" was Paul Revere and the Raiders. ABC, 1965-1967 Where the Action Is NBC's entry into the field had a bigger budget. That meant nifty prop sets (like, say, The Mamas and the Papas singing amidst a bunch of bathtubs and pipes) and a rotation of celebrity guests to handling the hosting, acts like Sammy Davis, Jr. and Petula Clark. The show was filmed at 30 Rock studio 8H -- later home to Saturday Night Live. 1965-1966 Hullabaloo This ABC show had later luminaries Glen Campbell, Billy Preston, and Leon Russell in the house band. There were a number of Beatles appearances and the only televised version of Little Eva performing "Locomotion." 1964-1966. Shindig More info here: Rock and Roll TV WW is up. (From the clues given so far, I would only have known #2.) George
  11. Identify one, correctly, to take the round. (I personally remember watching three of these shows.) Some added detail, though I doubt it will help: Hosted by LA local Gene Weeds, this show was frequented more by girl groups than the other shows. Also notable was a young (obviously) Teri Garr as one of the dancers. Syndicated, 1965-1966 This Dick Clark show was different in that the locations were all outside: beaches, parks, etc. It featured a lot of the heavy hitters of the day: The Byrds, The Who, The Shangri-Las, James Brown, Bobby Rydell, The Zombies, Dusty Springfield, Marvin Gaye, the Kinks.

There were a number of Beatles appearances and the only televised version of Little Eva performing "Locomotion." 1964-1966. George
  12. I actually DID check the full cast listings. Twice. Somehow I missed RW. My bad. We'll just save Jude Law for another day. Awakenings DeNiro Men of Honor George
  13. It is "Carry On, Wayward Son" by Kansas (AKA Dodge City?) It is often used on the show "Supernatural." It may seem as though it's been around 20 years, but it's only been 13. (And it was almost cancelled after 5!) George
  14. Even more trivial, this song is often featured on one of my favorite TV shows (currently in its 15th season), as a pseudo-theme-song. George
  15. Checking IMDb, I do not see RW anywhere in the cast of A.I. HJO WAS in it though. So let's go with Haley Joel Osment A.I. Jude Law George
  16. At least for now, I'd like someone to match a show with its title. (To be fair, I could only do this for one of the shows. I could give other titles which I know are in there, but not specifically matched to the clues.) If no one can do that, I'll open it up to more general answers. George
  17. I don't remember any skits, etc., though there could have been some. These shows were about the music (like American Bandstand). George
  18. Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond the illusion I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man George
