"Lost Girl" also involves about one new artifact an episode.
I haven't watched ANY of the newer vampire/werewolf/monster shows, so I don't know if they fit.
I was also thinking of "Special Unit 2" and "The Chronicle," but they were more about the idea of goblins and trolls and urban legends being actually true than being about mystic artifacts.
If anyone else has some, pop in. Otherwise,I'll turn it over to WordWolf.
Identifying song titles is easy: "Name That Tune".
I seem to remember one where the beginning of a line was given, and the contestant had to finish it correctly, but I can't remember the name of the show. I've done the "light lifting." If someone else gets the other part of WW's answer, he/she can go ahead with the next clue.

I believe one of the other two shows was "Don't Forget the Lyrics"
An expletive is a curse-word, something the censors would bleep out.
Really. 33 years post graduation and I've finally learned something. It's a curious word isn't it. Expletive. Sounds like somethin you leave on your x's doorstep.
The soundtrack clue was what gave it away. Then I remembered the SyFy (or was it still Sci-Fi) Channel's "Flash Gordon" series. It wasn't terrific, but it was an interesting take on the characters.
Tripping over an ottoman, or not tripping over it, depending on the season.
But the ottoman tripping wasn't according to the year. Carl Reiner intended to mix the trip, non- trip week to week, thinking everyone would always be curious. he said he got tired of it after awhile, and they kind of forgot about it. It just seems like the tripping was early, and the side stepping was later. But even in the later episodes you can find an occasional trip.
To hiway: All I really remember was from reruns, so I don't know what order they showed. I just assumed the skipping around the ottoman was a later deal. Anyway, you're up!

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

Friday the 13th was the first I thought of.
Several have figured into "Charmed" over the seasons,
and at least one by the end of "Buffy".
The only other definite multiples one I thought of was
"Level Up."
Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt, of course,
have had single episodes around some mystical item.

"Supernatural" often involves mystic relics.
"Lost Girl" also involves about one new artifact an episode.

There was at least one TV game show where contestants needed to identify song titles.
There were at least 2 TV game shows where contestants needed to fill in the words in songs.
That's 3 TV game shows-
name any TWO.
(The first one is old, the other 2 are a few years old.)

Correct.
The other was "the Singing Bee", and they premiered in the same season.
Low ratings cancelled them, which was a shame.
I liked them both- but I liked DFtL better.

It had nothing to do with oil or gas recovery, but "frack" was a common expletive on this show.

You had me puzzled for a second.
But the expletive was in the comic book and novelizations, too.
Me, I preferred "felgercarb" which obviously was a noun expletive.
Looking back, it's pretty clever how they got something past the
censors. Back then, you couldn't make a regular character a
prostitute, but nobody sent letters because someone was a
"socialator." :)

BTW, did they stop saying this on the new version of BATTLESTAR: GALACTICA?

No, they said it to the very end. In fact, the filmed closing party was titled "The Best Fracking Party Ever" (or something like that).
You're up.

This is the name of a short-lived television show from a few years back.
And a cartoon from the 1970s.
And a television show from the 1950s.
And a serial from before that.
And some other non-television stuff.
What's the name?

"The Lone Ranger"?

No,
although this one also had a feature movie,
there was NO radio show like the Lone Ranger.
However, there WAS a newspaper comic strip.
And a cool movie soundtrack.
And a video game, and a pinball machine.
But no formal sidekick among the ensemble.
And it was mentioned once, in passing, on "the Little Rascals."
(IIRC, that alone should narrow it down to 2 characters.)

"Flash Gordon"?

It is indeed.
I remember the Little Rascals, when the kids were visiting Darla's house, and Mr Hood
was giving them dinner. The kids argued over whether Flash Gordon or Tarzan was stronger.
Mr Hood said that if they'd eat quietly, afterwards he'd tell them everything he knows
about "those Flash Tarzan and Gordon fellows."
You of course have seen part of the serial. I think most of us did at some point.
The movie was fun, the more recent TV show is best ignored.
The movie's soundtrack was fun, too.

Your turn!
