bfh Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 How about trying a new game? You can use any clues you want, anytime you want to identify a TV show, as long as it's your turn. The TV show should be fairly obvious from the clue(s). For instance, you could use: A one liner, such as "To the moon, Alice." A pictionary clue A line or lines from the theme song A sentence describing the overall plot - like in the "What's this movie?" thread A list of secondary characters. Plus, if you use a one-liner for your first clue and nobody guesses it, your next clue could be a pictionary clue. Please, no long dialogue quotes. I envision a faster-moving, easier game. And, like the other games, only the person with the correct guess can post the next clue. Here's a clue to get started: Here's the story of a lovely lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a clue to get started: Here's the story of a lovely lady There already is a thread "Name that TV Show," using dialogue to represent a show. It sort of died away, but could be brought back. On the other hand, giving other types of clues might be a good, new thread. (It's reminiscent of the old Nostalgia Thread.) Anyway, bfh's show is obviously "The Brady Bunch."

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
