Welcome back, Steve. Did I miss a post where you explained where and how you've been?

Remember the Titans

Yeah, brackets and b makes the text that follows bold, even without a brackets /b to signal where to end it.

The letter B in brackets signals the site to put what follows in bold, I think. Testing my theory. Testing it again.

Sorry for the delayed reaction. Happy New Year! Yes, it was Green Hornet/Lone Ranger/Batman.

Not the Truman Show. Can't say what it IS, but I know it's not the Truman Show.

While it's never explicit, the main character of this weekly series (A) was supposedly descended from the main character of another series (B), each main character using the same gimmick to conceal his identity. Each main character had a sidekick that could be considered "exotic," depending on how you define the term. Also, it is revealed during ANOTHER series (C) that the main character of THIS series (A) was childhood friends with the main character of the other series (C). The lead actor of series (A) died this year. His sidekick died in the 1970s. The lead actors of series C are both still alive, although how they managed to escape debilitating STDs remains a true accomplishment, if their memoirs are to be believed.

Man from UNCLE ?

Suicide King(s) of Comedy

Don't bother. Borderline unwatchable

A plural becomes singular?

Confirmation needed? Yes, Julia Roberts

Suicide Squad!

I thought about WKRP too. It was my second guess.

Ok, this is going to be a WILD guess. But, based on the last part of the clue, I'm going to figure that the "real world reason" not to rebroadcast the show years later would be extreme discomfort at the setting. That is, it would have to be set somewhere that no one wants to talk about anymore because ... well, BECAUSE. So I'm going to place the setting as the top of the World Trade Center, which housed a restaurant called Windows on the World. I'm not aware of any tv show set at Windows on the World, but I do recall a show about waitresses set at a restaurant on top of a skyscraper. "It's a Living" That's my final answer.

Mary Reilly Erin Brokovich

Sorry for the delay, Charlene. I just ordered the book and I will be reviewing it on my personal blog [and publicizing it on my twitter account(s)]. Looking forward to the read.

Bumped up by request

For the record, this thread was started when we still had a politics forum. And it was mostly intended (it appears) as a "wish him well" thread. A similar thread started today would be really difficult to moderate. I wish our new president well. That's all I will say.

Really seems awesome to see some of the drive-bys from time to time. Sorry for the delayed reaction, but nice to see you, Zshot!

Aladdin Robin Williams The Fisher King

Like I said, Bradley Whitford. That guy from those shows with the hair. Liz Gilbert Tess Ocean Isabel Kelly Anna Scott Vivian Ward Name the actress.

OMG, I totally expected someone to use that exact line at some point. Arrow and Legends are fantastic as well. Enjoy the rest of this. (Just the tiniest bit confusing if you're not caught up on both shows, which I am not).

Jaws: The Revenge Mario Van Peebles New Jack City (and I think I WIN the game with THAT one!)

Minor spoiler: you can skip the Supergirl episode if you need to save time.
