Cesar Millan is the Dog Whisperer. Yes, the show I'm alluding to is The Ghost Whisperer. James Van Praagh is one of those phony psychics in the vein of John Edwards. I figured between the guy who talks to dead people and the Dog Whisperer, SOMEone would figure this out.
And I managed to avoid any reference to the lead actress' utter physical perfection. Yay, me!
It's probably Shazam! or Isis. I'm going with Shazam!

Yes, it was "Shazam!"
Billy Batson went into the Winnebago, turned on the colander with the lights, and recited this. Then the Elders appeared (in animation) to advise him, thus introducing the moral of the episode.
Although the series was still earning good ratings, it was agreed to halt production and the series became the first prime time American production to have a series finale.
A popular rumor that surfaced about the show years later is that notorious rock legend Alice Cooper, in his younger years, portrayed a character on the show. This is because he was misinterpreted when he said , "I was ------ in my younger years," meaning his life was LIKE that of the character. (That's what happens when you use a metaphor instead of a simile!)
This series has been revived three times. The current revival is on a platform that not everyone accesses.
The creator thought he made up the name. He later realized it was used by Air Force pilots and figured he must have picked it up somewhere.
Most of the episodes were shot on film, allowing for on-location shooting. A handful were shot on videotape on a soundstage. The difference in syndication is quite noticeable.
The series' creator is not seen in the title sequence of the original series, but you can see his face in each of the revival series.
Correct, except that the title has way overtaken any previous Air Force association with the term. Remember, it was already an obscure enough term that the series creator thought he made it up.

So, not overly obvious to connect to the Air Force, nor exist as an expression previously even unconnected (like "hot dog" or "mustang" or something.)
Okay, giveaway clue:
To the best of my knowledge, no actor or actress, in any iteration of the series, played the same character in more than one episode.
The clue"Thecurrent revival is ona platformthat not everyoneaccesses" contains a subtle hint about the current platform, which narrows down the possibilities (given how few shows on that platform are original).
Ok, a series with a few revivals, where the actors changed with every episode. That narrows it down by a lot.
Is it "THE TWILIGHT ZONE?"
(If so, Billy Mumy played the same character in the sequel to his episode, in the series which was a sequel, in the episodes "It's a Good Life" and "It's Still a Good Life.")
This was a successful television show. It ran for several seasons, and was syndicated to different countries. It had a sequel show with new episodes some time later. It was never an animated series nor an animated movie, and should not be mistaken for one. It later resulted in a live-action movie- which should not be mistaken for any other movie, whether animated nor live-action.

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

I know who Cesar Milan is.
Ok, unresolved problems.... Sounds like it's one of the "beyond the grave" TV shows, of which there's been a number in recent years.
Doesn't make sense to have Cesar Milan in one of those. He's not a parapsychologist, he works with dogs as the....
Seriously?
Was this "THE GHOST WHISPERER????"
Was the other guy "the Horse Whisperer"?

Okay, now I know who Cesar Millan is. I've seen bits of his show from time to time on TVs at the gym.

If it's Alice Cooper and not Marilyn Manson (Alice Cooper ripoff), then I don't know what show he was compared to. I'll stand by for more clues.

I just got back from vacation. GS was on the fritz when I left.
Raf is correct. LITB ended its run so Mathers could go to high school. Alice Cooper said he "was Eddie Haskell in his younger years."

I shouldn't have answered. I'll be on a cruise for the next week. Will not be checking in.

All I've got so far:
- The current show is the 4th iteration of the show.
-It's airing on Netflix or Hulu or something like that.
- the title is some AF pilot expression, like "Top Gun" or "Hot Shot" or something along those lines. (SNAFU, BOHICA....)

Like I said, "to the best of my knowledge," which was mistaken in exactly one case.
The current Twilight Zone is on CBS All Access.
See the clue?
