In 1960s America, a young couple struggle to expose the truth about a hidden alien invasion, while a secret government organization follows its own agenda in dealing with the threat. It turns out that aliens were responsible for just about everything in the 60's, from the Kennedy assassination to the New York blackout. Featured a pre-Voyager Jeri Ryan as a Russian agent. (1 season) The year is 2045, and a highly addictive computer-based reality drug takes the users of the drug into a fantasy world. Jake Cardigan, a cop who was jailed on trumped charges, is hired by the mysterious Walter Bascom to fight the drug. Jake's first partner was Sid Gomez who was replaced by sexy Sam Houston; Nika is a computer wiz who works for Bascom; Cowgirl and Spaz are two "cyberpunks"; and Shelley Grout is a government agent trying to stop Jake. The creator of the show (and one of its stars) was also the star of a much-better known sci-fi series. (1 season, though over three years) After spending years in the Peruvian jungle during his tour in Army Special Forces, Cascade PD Detective James Ellison developed hyperactive senses, which came back to him five years after his return to the US. He can see people in darkened windows at night from two hundred yards, hear the music playing on the radio of the car he's chasing after he's lost sight of it, and can distinguish between wood and plastic after both have been in a three thousand degree fire. After being cancelled after three seasons, support from fans got the network to give it another half season to tie up all the plots.(4 seasons) A computer technician for the NSA secretly longs for a chance to work on the field. Circumstance puts him in a top secret laboratory, in the middle of a shootout between security guards and a saboteur. During the battle, a vial containing an experimental serum explodes, covering the technician with shrapnel. But it turns out that the serum is actually nanomites, microscopic submachines that heal his injuries and alter his body. Upon discovering his new mind-boggling powers, the technician begins to operate at an atomic level, possessing superhuman strength, lightning-fast speed, heightened hearing, magnified vision and the ability to communicate telepathically with computers. The NSA soon realizes that he is an untested asset and forms a Special Ops team with him at its core. The actor who played the geek-turned-superhero-agent also is on of the leads in a current spy show (cable network). (1 season) After witnessing the destruction of the Earth from orbit, a group of astronauts is sent back in time and given 5 years to prevent the disaster from happening. The actor mentioned in the show above also played a leading role in this one. This was also Peter Weller's first starring role on a TV show. (1 season) George

"Your Mama Don't Dance, and Your Daddy Don't Rock and Roll" (Loggins and Messina)? George

Don't recognize it. George

No, and No Expanded clues soon. George

It isn't. George

Actually, "Enterprise" lasted four seasons. The last was quite good, but by that time the show had lost its audience. It is not one of the shows in this challenge. George

Correct. Engage! :) George

"The Music Man" Assimilate THIS! George

Correct. :) George

Was that ever released as a single? I realize that this thread doesn't have the "airtime" requirement that "Name that Tune" does, but it seems a pretty obscure album cut (even though the album is pretty well-known). George

Nope. Sorry. George

Nah. It's "Batman" (the first Michael Keaton one). "The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen... Oy! Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey!" George

It is.. :) George

"Giant! Kill him your way!" "What is my way?" "Hide behind a boulder; and when he comes by, smash his head in with a big rock!" "Hunh. My way is not very sportsmanlike." (from memory, so probably not verbatim) George

"Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" (or whatever the first one was called)? George

:lol: My next guess was going to be "Help!" George

"Beyond the Sea"? George

Do, or do not. There is no "try." George

What a great line! "Taken" George

"Jersey Boys"? George

That's the one. When Gypsy Rose Lee is getting started, a couple of her co-workers tell her (in song) that "You Gotta Have a Gimmick": George
