TV Show Mash-Up

[GeorgeStGeorge]

This sounds familiar, but I can't place it.

I'm confident you've watched this show.

"Yeah, it’s weirdly quiet. Nobody’s in the street."  "Huh, that’s strange." "You thinking what I’m thinking?"  "They cut that meteorite open and unleashed a space plague."   "Exactly."  "Let me just lock up here." "Okay, so what do we do?" "Uh, well, if this is a worst case scenario and we’re the last two people alive we’re gonna have to rebuild civilization."  "Do you have any special skills?"   "I can draw. How about you?"  "I can play clarinet." "I didn’t know that."  "Yeah. Ten years. Ah." "You know, it, uh, might also be up to us to repopulate the earth."  "I’m okay with that." "So shall we?"  "Wait here. I’m gonna brush my teeth."

 

"Does anyone have any questions?" "I do. Why are there no tires in Star Wars?"

 

"You're an adult who can't get by without an allowance from his parents. Women don't want that."

"What are you saying? That you're giving up on me? What kind of father gives up on his son?"

"I have six children, five of whom are married and self-sufficient. I don't think I'm the problem."

 

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow..."

"What happened?"

"I tried to let go of anger, and threw a rock into my foot."

"Then, he got more angry and kicked the rock with his other foot."

"What?!   And what happened to you?!"

"Oh, I laughed so hard, I burst a blood vessel in my nose! It's fine!"

 

 

 

"You're probably wondering why I put you through this."

"You mean the last two minutes or the last twenty years?"

 

 

"Hey, watcha doing?"

"Improving our wedding photos."

"Oh, that's nice. Wait, I'm still in them, right?"

"Of course. And not only you. I've added some guests who couldn't be there."

"Who's that next to my father?"

"The Wright brothers."

"And why are they at our wedding?"

"Orville, because I admire him; Wilbur, because he was Orville's plus-one."

 

 

"Now we got a lot of family coming in tomorrow. I'm gonna need everyone's help. Think of this as one of your comic book movies. There's a bunch of superheroes, each with a different task."

"Oh, like the new Avengers."

"Which one was that?"

"The one you slept through last weekend."

"Ah. That was a good nap."

"I think it's more like, uh,... like Lord of the Rings, and you're the Fellowship. Someone's gotta go to Gondor, someone's gotta go to Mordor, someone's gotta hold off the Demon of Shadow and Flame."

"You mean the Balrog?"

"I mean my mother."

 

 

"It says here to 'Leave no stone unturned.' "

 

If you're wondering if this is a show primarily about people who share a workplace, or about a group of friends, the answer is "yes."  Obviously, over time, neither is an absolute- you can find regular characters who are not friends and/or do not share the same workplace.

How old is this show, and what do you know about the interests of these people?

[GeorgeStGeorge]

The show is at least as recent as 2012 (first Avengers movie).  The characters seem to be interested in comic books and other fantasy.  I finally recognized the discourse between Raj and his father.

The Big Bang Theory

The first exchange was Stuart and Denise. They were at the comic book store and the streets seemed oddly empty.

The second was Mark Hamill, wedding officiant, stalling to buy time for Sheldon and Amy to show up. Georgie (Sheldon's older brother) is a tire mogul in Texas. He asked that question.

Raj and his father. Raj kept drawing a HEFTY allowance from his RICH Dad. Despite that, Raj still had trouble starting relationships, let alone keeping them.

Sheldon was mad that Bert, the Geology guy, got an award. He was unable to just get over it.

Sheldon and Leonard and a not-uncommon exchange.

Sheldon and Amy Farrah Fowler, with Sheldon "improving" their wedding photos.

Amy planned her wedding, and had a job for everyone, the most important of which was keeping her mother busy and not interfering with the wedding.

Mrs Wolf recognized the clue from Raj's scavenger hunt pretty quickly.  They had been sent from the Riddler display at the comic book store to the next stop, and that was the next clue.

 

So, take it away, George!
