The crew of castaways for this series spins-off course and lands in a world not unlike their own. Often the cast members were captured by their humanoid equals and had to be rescued by the others.
Sometimes, in order to learn something about their earth like environment these castaways would enlist their earth-like counterparts to achieve these purposes. They were always at risk however, because their earth-like inhabitants were offered a reward upon their capture.
It is, in fact, "Eureka." Home of Global Dynamics, the world's greatest "think tank," where something bad ALWAYS happens, and it usually takes the clever (but not brilliant) sheriff to save the day.

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

You are correct sir. Only aired 2 seasons. Seems like it was longer.
Your up.

The only non-genius on this show was the sheriff (and maybe the owner of the diner).

We either need another clue or another show.

Archimedes could have named the town (and the eponymous series).

(Same show)

Then this show would probably be "Leverage."
(Since I can't find any references to a show named "lever" but I remember something called "leverage."

No. "Leverage" is a great show, by the way.
Archimedes would have named this show while stepping naked in a tub and noticing the water rise.

*falls over laughing*
This has to be "Eureka."
I was thinking of "Give me a lever and one firm place to stand,
and I will move the world."

I have to explain why that's so freaking funny.
There's this group of entertainers called "Les Luthiers."
(You can read up about them on Wikipedia or on their TVTropes page.)
They have been likened to Monty Python's Flying Circus.
They are musicians and comedians.
The name "les luthiers" means people who make music instruments,
Which they do- out of things that obviously aren't instruments.
You can clearly recognize a canned ham, a rain barrel,
a water-heater, etc- which they then proceed to play and play WELL.
Often the music follows a comedy routine or is a part of one.
They dress all in tuxedos, and use relatively few props,
relying on voice, posture and other acting tools to convey the
characters they play. They are hysterically funny, and multilingual.
They are Argentinian and do their jokes primarily in Spanish-
but occasionally dip into English or French to make a specific joke.
Because they are multilingual, they do all their own subtitles.
They do stage shows every few years across Argentina (and, I expect,
much of South America), and DVDs are made of the live shows.
That's where the subtitles come in.
So, on YouTube you can find some of their stuff, and some of that has
English subtitles included. I'm linking to one of those. From back
in the 1980s, when they all had hair.
This part of the show had been a spoof of those "experts" on children
who obviously had no idea what they were talking about because they
never RAISED any children. So, the guy is talking in a very unctuous
manner to the parents. There's hysterical visuals because he tries
to demonstrate how to explain things to children- and picks one of
his assistants at random to play the child in each example.
The guy looks very put-upon, and the other guys very obvious make fun
of him every time it happens. But the part that's truly memorable
follows thereafter. The speaker announces the group will play a
children's song- which they do. The problem is, there's a kid present
who keeps asking questions about the subject of the song and what
is being sung. And the singer tries to answer the kid.
(Both played by adult men in tuxedo, obviously, but follow the voices.)
The song is called "The Hen Said Eureka." Since this upload has
subtitles, you can follow it completely in English.

The longest-running science fiction television show by far, this show began in black and white,
and can be said to have aired/filmed 33 seasons to date.

Dr. Who has been around quite a while. Anyway, that's my guess.

This TV series aired for 5 seasons and some of its cast members are semi-iconic.
The Producer and writers of the show left after the 3'rd season to create another TV series, Cheers.
The group ~ R E M~ did a song entitled, Man On The Moon which was about one of the lead actor's in this series.

The Man in the Moon reference leads me to guess
"Taxi."

I tried to use some trivia whereby it wouldn't be so obvious from guessing.
It is Taxi.
Some people are just too quick.
