Fillon's character dressed as "a space cowboy" for Halloween and it was
Mal Reynolds' clothes.
Fillon supposedly added the "two by two" thing when putting the gloves on.
Of course, he's not the only actor who's moved on since then from the Firefly cast.
Summer Glau and Morena Beccarin have/had TV shows, too.
I think Jewel Staithe did, too.
Summer Glau:
Firefly lasted less than one season
Sarah Conner Chronicles made aseason and a half
Dollhouse ended the season SG joined (ex Firefly Alan Tudyk was also featured)
The Cape lasted only a few episodes
She's featured now in Alphas; if she becomes a regular, expect the show to go bye-bye.
One way to tell if a favorite show has been cancelled is if you see the characters appearing on other shows. I realized Sanctuary was gone when Ryan Robbins became a regular on Falling Skies. (Amanda Tapping now also has a minor role on Supernatural.)
How many (fiction) shows can you name which prominently feature mystic artifacts or relics? About five come to my mind immediately. Also, I mean more than one artifact. A single, mystic sword doesn't count.

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

Next one.
This show keeps making references to Firefly.
One character spoke Chinese, then claimed he doesn't know it-but saw it on a TV show.
Someone dressed up as a "space cowboy" for Halloween.
Someone put on blue gloves, then stretched them by stretching the first 2 fingers on each hand.
("Two by two, hands of blue.")
There's a perfectly good reason the writers (and an actor) keep sneaking in the references, too.....

I haven't seen it, but since Nathan Fillion starred in "Firefly" and now stars in
Castle
that's my guess.

One of the most critically acclaimed cartoons of the 60's, it was about a boy, his Dad, their dog, his best friend, and a friend of the Dad's.

The dog's name was Bandit.
The friend of the dad was from Winnetka, IL.

Was his best friend named after a pilgrimage to Mecca?

It sure sounds like Johnny Quest to me.
Not that I ever actually watched the thing, but it seems to get amazing amounts of airplay
at odd hours wherever I am.

This show featured a main character who had flashbacks,
and eventually spawned a sequel with the main character back, played by the same actor.

This 70's show featured a main character who had flashbacks, and fight sequences filmed in slow motion.
It spawned a sequel in the 90's with the main character back, played by the same actor.

Bill Bixby in The Hunk? I mean 'The Hulk"?

*thinks*
Good guess, and it technically answered what I posted.
I was unclear-the sequel was ANOTHER SERIES that picked up after the
previous one, not a one-shot movie or whatever.
And the main actor did the slow-motion fights.
I'd also like to add that the Carol Burnett Show once spoofed this show.
In fact, I saw their spoof long before I saw the show they spoofed!

"Kung Fu"?

That's it- "Kung Fu" and "Kung Fu-the Legend Continues."
Carradine played the same character in both series.
Supposedly, there were plans to revive it in the 80 "Kung Fu-the Next Generation"-
but that fell through and just became a TV movie.
I thought the Carol Burnett spoof was hysterical.
"He hates but one man-the man who stole his shoes."
With lots of flashbacks to his old mentor, and once he took someone with him INTO his flashback.
End of the episode, his old mentor appears.
"How did you get here?"
"I had a flash-forward."
And that was after he fought-but "non-violently- in slow motion."

You have to answer this one in the form of a question. ;)

Has SNL done a LOT of spoofs of this show, by any chance?
Most of them with a spoof of Sean Connery?

I believe so, but I hardly ever watch SNL anymore, so I can't say for certain.

YouTube used to have lots of examples.
The running gag is "Celebrity JEOPARDY", with really stupid or really bizarre celebrities.
Sean Connery figures in because they keep depicting him as being verbally abusive to
a super-polite Alex Trebek and they manage to keep making it funny somehow.

Ever think you'd see the day that adults would go on a television show and display
they weren't ready to face the challenges that 6th grade students face on exams?

I think you meant 5th grader didn't you?
Could that be Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

A 6th grader would be expected to be smarter than a 5th grader...

Correct.
Which also means Human gave the correct name of the show.

The catch phrase used by the lead actor of this show was Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

"Gomer Pyle, USMC"
Here's a slightly different tack:
How many (fiction) shows can you name which prominently feature mystic artifacts or relics? About five come to my mind immediately. Also, I mean more than one artifact. A single, mystic sword doesn't count.
