Some cities are more popular than others as settings for shows, and have had multiple series set in them. In this case, I recall 3 live-action series set in this city. The last of those shows was a little obscure (but has its own wiki.) The first of those shows was famous (but does not appear to have its own wiki.) In between those shows was a show with popularity between famous and obscure. It ran for 5 seasons. It was written as a serious show, an action drama. It didn't really cross over with any shows, but was in-continuity with at least 1 show that aired after this show ceased production. The last episode of the series was planned to be the last episode. It took place a decade after the rest of the series, and was titled "The Beginning..." The show borrowed freely from other media, but was as much inspired by them as anything else, taking plenty of dramatic license, which resulted in a better show. Despite this show using largely unknown actors, it could be argued that they used at least 3 well-known actors in recurring roles. One of those actors had been on television, and in a major movie series, (a trilogy, sorta.) The other 2, despite not having worked together previously, were both well-known from roles in well-known Science Fiction franchises (different franchises.)

That's it.

At least, I knew who they were before this show, and that wasn't true of the rest of the cast, generally speaking.)

I checked earlier today, you're right about "the Nuclear Man" as the title down here.

Next one. "Ay-ay-ay-ay=ay!"

No, my son and I sat for the space of 3 episodes and hallucinated the whole thing! OK, seriously, yes. Strictly speaking it was a 3-part story on "Sanford and Son" where "Hawaii Five-O" appeared. Season 6, episodes 1-3, "The Hawaiian Connection." It's the only "Hawaii 5-0" I ever remember watching, other than the opening tune with the surfer. I liked that even when I didn't like cop shows. Oh, and Frank Nelson appeared as an airline pilot twice- when the Sanford flew to AND from Hawaii. https://sanfordandson.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hawaiian_Connection_-_Parts_I_%26_II https://sanfordandson.fandom.com/wiki/The_Hawaiian_Connection_-_Part_III

My son and I just watched the 3-part crossover of "Sanford and Son" and "HAWAII FIVE-O''. My favorite part was the recap at the beginning of parts 2 and 3. Narrator:"This is Hawaii. This is a palm tree. And this is a coconut..." *clip of Fred being stupid on the beach* etc.

If I was correct, the action figures for that series were huge- a foot tall or something, not 8-inches like the Mego ones. If I was correct, you had a foot-tall Oscar Goldman action figure? Were you a big fan of the character? *slaps forehead* "OG" for Oscar Goldman. I was thinking the slang meaning, that you were discussing an old school character. (An "original gansta.") The entire line was hard to find in stores. I imagine your family looked for Steve and only found Oscar. I think mine knew I was a big fan of the show at the time. I even had an "electro-genic arm" which I wore around. And that thing was uncomfortable because it was built so cheaply and clumsily. It was a hard semi-circle of gray plastic, plus one big decal of circuits, and a strap to hold it in place. One size fits nobody, I think. https://www.plaidstallions.com/images/tl/electrogenic.jpg

Hm. There were action figures. It was the right decade for action figures. And not all of them were made by Mego, just most of them. The show had a main character, and a spin-off. The main character was an action hero. *thinks* I'm going with "the Six Million Dollar Man." That had a spinoff- "the Bionic Woman." There were action figures of Steve Austin- I had one- and of Oscar something. (Goldman- I had to look up the cast's names.) There was also one of Maskotron. He was a robot bad guy who could be disguised as Steve or Oscar, or wear his own face. I never saw those in stores, but they were advertised on the box of the SA figure, and of the space capsule/bionics operating theater playset. I don't remember the boxes showing an action figure for the Bionic Woman.

I meant, on the album, the official title was "Baba O'Riley" because that's what was written on the cover. Thus, my usage of the past tense. No relation to the Swami Sali Maharishi Baba, or Sali Baba for short.

I was going to apologize for not being able to clear the table, but you didn't ask for that. OK, here's what I know, titles and artists.... 1) George Michael's "Careless Whisper." 2) Forgot the artist. 3) Chumbawumba's "Tub-thumping." 4) Forgot the title (we all know the artist.) 5) Tina Turner's "Proud Mary." 6) 4 Non-Blondes with "What's Up?" (To avoid confusion with Marvin Gaye's song.) 7) The Proclaimers, with "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" 8) Eric Carmen's "Make Me Lose Control". 9) No idea. 10) The Who's "Baba O'Riley". But I can't answer 2, 4, or 9, so if someone could finish clearing the table, for bragging rights?

Human, if you don't answer, I will.

That would be The Who with "Teenage Wasteland." (The official title was "Baba O'Riley".) First song on "Who's Next".
