TV Show Mash-Up

[WordWolf]

"Where do you come from, where do you go?

What is your scene, baby, we just gotta know!"

"Are you a chick who fell in from outer space?

Or are you real with a tender warm embrace?

Yeaaah, whose baby are you?"

Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium,

Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium....

The lyrics seemed familiar, until the "Sodium" part... :)/>

George

The "Sodium" part was neither part of the lyrics, nor a quote.

That's why it's separated, as if it wasn't part of the lyrics,

and has no quotation marks around it.

This is the "mash up" thread, and clues are not required to

be quotes or even trivia.

Converting sodium to its symbol "Na", we get essentially the Batman theme song.

Was there a "Batgirl" show, separate from Batman?

Yes.

That's become a running gag in certain circles.

George

Not that I've heard, but the Batman show had Batgirl,

and when she went into action, she had her own theme-song!

George

You also get the song "Hey Jude by ~The Beatles~.

[WordWolf]

No, that would have resulted in the wrong number of "Sodiums".

I used exactly enough for 2 lines of the song.

Na16 is the symbol for sodium huh. I'm familiar with N2 or O2 It's much simpler an element to put to memory.

Anyway are we getting closer to the answer here or are we playing with our chemistry sets?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I think WW gave it to me. It was the Batman TV show, which featured Batgirl in the last season. I'll have a new one up soon.

George

George correctly identified the Batman TV show.

So, yes, it's his turn.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Slightly different tack. This one's pretty easy, though.

What do the following shows have in common?

The Cape

Dollhouse

The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Arrow

Alphas

The 4400

Are those shows with Summer Glau post-Firefly?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Are those shows with Summer Glau post-Firefly?

Yes. I didn't include Firefly, initially, because that probably would have given it away.

Summer has been kind of a death knell for TV shows. With the exception of "Arrow" (so FAR!), none of the shows lasted two full seasons after she joined the cast. (Most didn't make one season.)

You're up.

But she appeared in an episode of "Big Bang Theory" something like 5 years ago,

so just showing up isn't the kiss of death.

Ted Mc Ginley once pointed out that most shows that brought him in

survived a few more seasons on the air.

(He never commented on their QUALITY, just their SURVIVAL.)

Summer had to be a regular on the show to kill it off. Single appearances don't count. :)

"Arrow" seems to have survived the recurring role nicely.

That's why I said "so FAR." It hasn't been two seasons, yet, since she appeared. :)

George

[Raf]

I'll say it: She looks like she's never actually had a thought.

Sorry. It had to be said.

[WordWolf]

There's been multiple versions of this show. One was hosted by Forrest Whitaker.

A different version was black-and-white. And we've all seen at least an episode or

2, if we grew up in the US (probably if we didn't, also.)

[GeorgeStGeorge]

The Twilight Zone?

The Twilight Zone?

That's it.

And I must say, this is one of my all-time favorite short stories from television:

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This show lasted 10 seasons. Of the five main characters, only three appeared in all 250 episodes.

The series was based on a novel by Jeraldine Saunders.

"Murphy Brown"?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

No.

This show lasted 10 seasons. Of the five main characters, only three appeared in all 250 episodes. One of the stars was fired after seven seasons due to cocaine addiction.

The series was based on a novel by Jeraldine Saunders.

Dick van Patten played the lead character in the TV-movie pilot, but due to his starring in "Eight Is Enough," he could not play the role in the series.

Since I still think it's "Different Strokes", another clue would be appreciated.
