Jack Bauer and President David Palmer were only together in the same place for one episode.

The President was a central character in every season. Not the same president. 

You're up.

After Gene Roddenberry's death, Majel Barrett took material from his archives to bring two of his ideas into production. This series was one of them while the other was Earth: Final Conflict (1997).

The basic premise of the series - a man from an earlier era piecing civilization back together - was the subject of three earlier Gene Roddenberry pilots: Genesis II (1973) starring Alex Cord and Planet Earth (1974) and Strange New World (1975) starring John Saxon. None of the three pilots became a series.

The name of the lead character in this show was the same as that of the lead characters in Genesis II and Planet Earth.

I knew something was my turn and could not remember which game.

Here we are.

 

This live action show was aimed squarely at children and aired on Saturday mornings. It was a drama filmed on location and on film (not videotape). It started as part of another show, so episodes were typically 15 minutes and ended in a cliffhanger. After it became its own series, 12 half-hour episodes were produced.

Good luck finding it: a single collection has not been produced. You might be able to track down a few episodes by buying collections of the parent series.

One of the title characters is (quite literally) legendary. The other is all but forgotten.

This cartoon was popular enough in its time, and has seen some syndication on cable much later.  (They aired it HERE a few years ago!)  A live-action television show later aired, for the same franchise as this cartoon.  One of the characters of this cartoon got famous and often isn't remembered as being connected at all.  She appeared in a completely unrelated cartoon, and she had her own live-action television series a number of years ago (made it a few seasons, at that.)   We've all heard of the characters- in fact, one of the "Police Academy"  movies mentioned the name of the cartoon/ franchise and one of the characters.   Oh, and this cartoon had 2 sequels with the same characters, one of which attempted a patriotic theme, which seemed like a better idea when it aired, I'm sure.     Ok, what was the original cartoon's name?

The franchise for this cartoon has spanned cartoons, live-action,  comic books, and records. The company that published this franchise had other comic books as well, but they never seemed to cross over.  However, at least once, live-action crossed in one of the others.   Ok, what was the original cartoon's name?

They weren't marketed as "sequels"  and don't follow a story, but they were the successors of the original series. One was supposedly "TV Funnies"  and another "Weird Mysteries."

I guess I'm not getting what you mean by "franchise."  Is Looney Toons a franchise?  Is Super Friends a franchise?  Is the Marvel universe a franchise?  Or is it much less broad, like Pinky and the Brain/Pinky, Elmira, and the Brain?

George

I'm not talking like the entire MU.  Something more like "Super-Friends"  if they'd been a live TV show in addition to the comics and cartoons.   Or Pinky and the Brain if they'd had a live-action TV show.      (Both examples, actually, being more recent franchises than the one this round is about.)
