Yes, that's it. Richard Boone played the role of Paladin in this post civil war series. I used to be into this show. Paladin was refined, a gentlemen who was into opera, and could speak several languages. He was a road scholar. A man of the arts.
He preferred to settle all skirmishes without violence. Plus, he was a fine dresser.

I used the term Rhodes Scholar loosely. (and misspelled it) OK. Paladin was a world traveller and had extensive knowledge of both ancient history and classical literature. Whatever. He seems pretty smart to me. :lol:
As a kid, I never noticed the similarities between "The Honeymooners" and "The Flintstones." It wasn't until I read a Jackie Gleason interview in Playboy (yes, I read the articles) discussing it. Then it was one of those "Duhhh" moments! Gleason mentioned that Alan Reed (Fred) occasionally "looped" Gleason's lines in "Honeymooners" episodes.
This comedy had a number of its actors replaced during the run, mostly new actors taking over the same characters; in another case, a new actor in a new role replacing a main character after the actor died. This show occasionally "crossed over" with two other popular comedies at the time.

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 wasn't even leaning towards that but since you mentioned "George doesn't get this", I'll go ahead and lean with The Green Hornet.

You are correct.
George figured he was missing something obvious.
I was shaking a few clues at him- Kato as a side "Kick" and a "Beauty" of a car, especially.
Al Hirt playing "Flight of the Bumblebee" can often make people recall the series if they watched it.
In the TV show, the GH used a sonic "sting" and a gas gun.
The Lone Ranger was invented by Fran Striker, as was the Green Hornet, both as radio characters first.
The Lone Ranger's nepher was Dan Reid. The Green Hornet was Britt Reid, the son of Dan Reid.
The connection is sometimes downplayed due to different companies having the rights to the characters.
However, there have been nods to the connections here and there.
Go!

Perhaps "Have Gun, Will Travel"? (As I recall, the main character was Paladin. I think my grandmother called the show "Paladin"...

Gene Roddenberry wrote most of the episodes. :)

"The Flintstones" was based on this (non-cartoon) show.

The Honeymooners, of course.
BTW, if you can ever bring yourself to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special ever again,
(I'd bet my life you saw it when it aired in 1977),
you may recognize a Honeymooners moment.
Art Carney played Saun Dann, a human merchant on the Wookiee homeworld.
As a Stormtrooper has him display things for inspection,
Art Carney does an increasingly elaborate preparation without doing anything
until the Stormtrooper gets frustrated and yells at him
like Ralph Kramden used to do with Norton.

There's one character who, supposedly, has had the most different movie adaptations about him of different types- Dracula.
There's one character who comes in second on that, having had many different versions about him in the cinema.
THAT character currently has inspired TWO different television shows CURRENTLY airing about him-
one by the BBC
and one on standard US television networks.
Name either show.

I'm guessing it's Sherlock Holmes. I don't know the BBC show, but CBS has
"Elementary" a good show, and a very different take on Holmes and Watson!

It is Sherlock Holmes.
The show "Elementary" is entertaining, and helps to pass the time while I wait
for "SHERLOCK" to resume. The BBC show, like many of their shows, runs in miniseries arcs.
So, there's been less than a dozen episodes, each a separate movie.
It's a modern-day show with a modern-day Sherlock who is a consulting detective,
and a Dr John Watson who is a military veteran. (Should sound familiar.)
Really, it's a fantastic show if you like mysteries or Sherlock Holmes.

PS I mean "actor" not to be gender-specific.

Wild guess here based on actors replacing actors in the same role-
"Bewitched"?

Actually, I think "Bewitched" only changed out one actor, and I don't remember it crossing over with other shows.
One of the actors to be replaced in the show I have in mind was also the voice of Wilma Flintstone (deja vu).

IIRC,
Darren and the nosy neighbor were both changed.
Dick Sargent & Dick York were Darren, and Agnes Moorehead was the SECOND actress in her role.
I recall no cross-over, so that was the wild guess.
IIRC, the voice of Wilma Flintstone was also Maw from the Hillbilly Bears.
I'm confident this is not that cartoon.

Actually, Agnes Moorhead was the only Endora, though there were two Gladys Kravitzes (and two Louise Tates, according to IMDb). But no, not the show,
This will give it away:
Lots of curves, you bet!
