A correct assumption. A lot of the show takes place in mid-18th-century Scotland, so a lot of Gaelic is tossed around. Catriona Balfe actually speaks Gaelic, but her character (time-traveling Englishwoman Clare Fraser) does not.
This 1990s suspense-drama spent a lot of time on the Douglas firs, the local pie and the local coffee. I feel bad for whoever had to try to go to court to prove the big villain did it.

That's it. And yes, we love that exchange. Burns referred to Klinger as an "enlisted man." Hawkeye countered by asking Klinger if he enlisted. This was his reply, complete with Trapper's reaction.
This show is part of a franchise that includes several movies. In fact, one might say that it takes place after the 2nd movie and effectively "retcons" the third.
The show went only two seasons. I'm sure it had nothing to do with one of the stars, who has appeared in MANY short run series. Fans tried to get it revived for three years after its cancellation.

FOX President Kevin Reilly canceled the show due to the show not doing well in the ratings as it was moved to Friday Nights and didn't do well in its new time slot. (No surprise. Friday night is where Sci-Fi shows go to die.)
Fans accused the star of the movies of killing the show because he wanted to make more movies in the series. The star wasn't involved with the show and the next movie didn't come out until 6 years after the show had ended.

The show went only two seasons. I'm sure it had nothing to do with Summer Glau, who has appeared in MANY short run series. Fans tried to get it revived for three years after its cancellation. Glau got her part in the show, incidentally, because of her demonstration of fighting skills in the movie "Serenity."

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

No, though some of the actors appeared in that show. Some also appeared in "The White Queen."
The big clue is GAELIC. And, no, it's not Highlander.

Presumably. that's why you keep giving hints, hoping that someone else will get it.
Has anyone "seen" Redrock or Nathan, lately?

I'm thinking. If anyone has an idea, they can jump in as a FREE POST. Otherwise, I'll need another day or so.
