GeorgeStGeorge Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I don't think there's a current show I watch that's been around for ten seasons. "Smallville" went ten seasons, and the lyrics seem to fit, but I'm sure that's not it (and it's been off the air for about five years).

WordWolf Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Not many shows make it 10 seasons. Far fewer are current shows. This current show has had more than TEN theme songs! Among the theme songs were the following lines: "On a road, far from home, you don't have to feel alone. Brave and strong, together we will be. It's our destiny! We will be heroes, We can change the world if we try! I go where you go, Forever friends, you and I!" "Be the best you can be And find your destiny It's the master plan The power's in your hand." "Walking down this endless highway With nothing but my friends beside me We'll never give in, we'll never rest" "Yeah, this dream keeps us together, This shows that you and I - Will be the best that the world's ever seen, Because we always will follow this dream!" "And the future will decide If there's a hero buried deep inside" "No time to question my moves I stick to the path that I choose Me and my friends are gonna do it right You'll never see us run away from a fight To be a Master is my dream, All I've got to do is believe." "I wanna be the very best Like no one ever was." Some might consider this entire series to be nothing more than a long commercial, but others might consider it some sort of modern, buddy "on the road" story like the old movies, with 3 buddies instead of 2 buddies.

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

Not many shows make it 10 seasons. Far fewer are current shows.
This current show has had more than TEN theme songs!
Among the theme songs were the following lines:
"On a road, far from home,
you don't have to feel alone.
Brave and strong, together we will be.
It's our destiny!
We will be heroes,
We can change the world if we try!
I go where you go,
Forever friends, you and I!"
"Be the best you can be
And find your destiny
It's the master plan
The power's in your hand."
"Walking down this endless highway
With nothing but my friends beside me
We'll never give in, we'll never rest"
"Yeah, this dream keeps us together,
This shows that you and I -
Will be the best that the world's ever seen,
Because we always will follow this dream!"
"And the future will decide
If there's a hero buried deep inside"
"No time to question my moves
I stick to the path that I choose
Me and my friends are gonna do it right
You'll never see us run away from a fight
To be a Master is my dream,
All I've got to do is believe."
"I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was."
Some might consider this entire series to be nothing more than a long commercial,
but others might consider it some sort of modern, buddy "on the road" story like
the old movies, with 3 buddies instead of 2 buddies.

*checks*
That show, oddly enough, HAS been around more than 10 seasons, but has been around
less than the 1 I'm talking about. It's also been associated with relatively few
consumer purchases- but the one I'm talking about has been very profitable,
between cross-marketing and licensed products, and so on.
Toys and cards are almost certainly the biggest sellers.

Among the oddness of this show:
-a lot of the police seem related and look similar
-a lot of the nurses seem related and look similar
-many regular characters can't speak English, and their speech
sounds a lot like their names

It is definitely not "Adult Swim". In fact, when I was in NYC, the thing aired
on a commercial channel while in syndication on a different channel.
I can currently see it in syndication on 2 different channels.

Mrs Wolf just looked over all the clues and rattled off the answer halfway down
the list. Since she doesn't want to log in and answer, she suggested that I mention:
The long commercial refers to a game (as well as plush toys, the
electronic pokedex), etc.
Japan already had made pocket monsters a successful product long before
this particular show came along.
