The other (short-lived) series she starred in was "Stacked," where she played a party girl taking a job at a family-run bookstore (2005). You got VIP and Baywatch (and Stripperella), so 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

Actually, I didn't see it. But I remember it, and your clues helped.
I don't have one right now, so if you want to give it a go, have at it!

I'd question that being fair, but you've already seen me use this show in a round,
so I think you'd know I'd get it.
Let's see.....

Let's go obscure again. Answer ANY to take the round.
A) This failed show could be seen as an attempt to remake "Gilligan's Island."
6 survivors of nuclear war tried to survive together on a farm and rebuild
civilization. Yes, a wacky comedy set post-apocalypse.
B) This MTV game-show had people sitting in a fake living room and served
snacks in between the rounds while the contestants answered questions
somewhat pretending to watch television and channel-surf. Adam Sandler was
one host.
C) This Comedy Central game-show had experts in pop culture that had to be
out-smarted. 3 were regulars, and a 4th chair rotated among specialists
in specific pop culture subjects.

There was a schoolteacher, a homeless man (no longer homeless, he's on a farm),
a radical feminist bookstore employee, a "research biologist" (he was stated
to be a PATHOLOGIST and it came up in the dialogue how he missed doing
analyses of cadavers), a hair salon employee, and a venture capitalist.
13 episodes were planned, 10 were aired before Fox pulled the plug.

one host, as was Colin Quinn, Kari Wuhrer and Denis Leary, but Ken Ober
started it off.
The premise was that he set up his basement to host a game-show. Contestants
sat belted into recliners. I loved watching them go to commercial break...the
contestants would get snacks. Some would be lowered, but if it was a party
food like cereal or popcorn, they had to get their bowl over their head fast
as a rain of the stuff came down.
It lasted for 5 seasons.

the music one was changed, and the Star Wars one who rotated in was
different as well.

The only one that seems even vaguely familiar is the first one, probably because I rarely watch Comedy Central and never watch MTV.

Like George, only C seems vaguely familiar to me. Somewhat B too.
But not enough to hazard a guess.

Oh, right, we don't have any.
Technically, there wasn't a show called "The Geek Show, but there was
"Beat The Geeks", a show I quite liked.
(Especially since I put my odds on a guest geek in a category I liked
as 1 in 3.)
Here were the answers.

I sometimes forget both Comedy Central and OLD MTV are seen as "newfangled"
around here when I think of them as a little "retro."

I watch a lot of cable (USA, TNT, AMC, Showtime, etc.), just not MTV or CC
Name three (live-action) TV shows starring* Pamela Anderson. Extra credit if you get the cartoon she did the voice of the main character for.
*By "starring," I mean having a major recurring role, not necessarily the lead role.

VIPs
Baywatch
Home Improvement ("the Tool Time girl")
And she voiced Stan Lee's "Striperella."
Considering I've seen about 1 episode's worth of Home Improvement and Baywatch,
and none of the others, I think that's pretty good remembering. :)

Originally, this show began as a drama, with 20-somethings worrying about
SATs and so on, but it got more popular once it got a shot of melodrama
(and some new actors). After that, it became traditional for someone to get
thrown into the pool each season.

Thomas Calabro fans might appreciate the episode of Beverly Hills 90210
that introduced this series, which kept him working for several years.
They might not appreciate the failed attempt at restarting the series later.

they brought back Heather Locklear's character and made her a regular.

I never watched any of those shows, so it took a while to remember the name.
This popular 90's show had four main stars.
One of them has not had another series.
Two of them had very short-lived series.
The last has actually had two fairly successful series (one current).
