What's the name of this spectacular show?
I think it shows on our local CW station, but I've ignored it so much I don't even remember seeing it. Kind of like my brain ignoring visual "floaters."
35 seasons. 8 other versions, not counting overseas airings of the US version. (It airs here sometimes, I expect it airs other places, also.) You really have ignored it a lot.
Although, in fairness, I used to ignore it. I've watched most of the seasons now with my family.
This show was not a series in the traditional sense, although nineteen roughly semi-annual episodes aired over a period of twelve years. One might describe this show as demonstrating people in unaccustomed roles.
Interesting. I forgot that Columbo (along with others like Banacek, McCloud) were rotated in NBC's Mystery Movie of the Week. Still, Columbo appeared more often than twice a year, and MMotW didn't go 12 seasons.

Most people appeared on the show once or twice. Notable exceptions were Gabe Kaplan and Robert Conrad.
Occasionally, members of the cast played "Simon Says." I remember one particularly skilled player finally getting beaten when the master of ceremonies said, "Simon says, 'Hold your breath.'" "Let it out."

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'd think Survivor, but that's "only" been 25 seasons...

Since "Survivor" has contestants out away from people, I'm not sure other languages would ever be useful.

I was mistaken. The Amazing Race is actually on CBS. There was an episode this evening.

I really don't watch ANY reality TV, including talent competitions. This does give me an idea for my next puzzle, though. Stay tuned!
