"The Time Tunnel' a show I always wanted to be better than it was. I later learned that Irwin Allen didn't want strong interesting characters, or sophisticated looks through time. "This is a run and jump show" , which pretty much explains the problem with most Irwin Allen shows.

There WERE a couple of good episodes (Tony meeting himself as a kid at Pearl Harbor...) I think the main attraction, though, was Lee Meriwether.
I bet you can come up with another show (with only about six decades to choose from). ;)
I remember that they were going to do a Beverly Hillbillies reunion special, years ago. The basic plot was celebrating Granny's 100th birthday (or something), but Jed had been gone for a long time, so they'd hire Barnaby Jones to find him. ;) The reason it didn't come off was that Irene Ryan had already passed away. :(
I think we're out of Lee Meriwether links. Here's something else:
A Playboy Playmate (in real life) stars as a hot dog stand girl who saves a celebrity and winds up being the figurehead for a real bodyguard service.

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

Preminger replaces Sanders, Wallach replaced Preminger.
The difference between Wallach and Preminger was obvious,
as was Gorshin to Astin and Newmar to Kitt.
Even as a small child, that bothered me.
No reference it was "a new Riddler" or anything, a successor or anything.

Lee Meriweather was the attraction for me, though she rarely got out behind the console and lab coat.
She was used better on this later show where she teamed with Jed Clampett.

Was this "VIPs"?
IIRC, Pamela Anderson, Natalie Raitano and another actress starred in a show
I never saw 10 seconds of.
(And I may have mixed my actress names again.)

"V.I.P." (Valery Irons Protection) Close enough.
For someone who didn't watch, you got the women's names as well as I would have! ;)

So that's where the name Valery Irons comes from.
The band "Lit" did a song, "Miserable", and the video featured PA,
and said she was playing Valery Irons in the video.
I remember confusing Natalie Raitano with Bonnie something, some athlete or whatever,
at the time, and trying not to consistently make that mistake.

Since Raitano is a fitness instructor as well as an actress, it wouldn't be hard to make that mistake.
You're up!

Jasper Sitwell, the years have NOT been kind to you. I remember you as a young, blonde man
with an advanced vocabulary and hornrim glasses who was nevertheless somewhat athletic.
Now you're older, still have the glasses, but you're completely bald and your vocabulary
is average. You also appear to be Latino, what's up with that?
But I totally approved of you getting tasered.

" Don't touch Lola."
"And he calls it a girl's name."
"Lola's not just a collectible, you know. People tend to confuse the words "new" and "improved." "
"I would have been very happy not to clear you, Phil. I'd love for you to rest up some more."
"I've had plenty of that. Thanks."
"You sure?"
"You should go sometime."
"Where?"
"Tahiti. It's a magical place."
"Three days in, I'd be begging for an assignment."
"Exactly."

"Marvel's Agents of SHIELD"

Yes.
Phil Coulson owns a Stark flying car, which he named "Lola."
Savvy fans identified it when it was introduced.
" Don't touch Lola."
"And he calls it a girl's name."
"Lola's not just a collectible, you know. People tend to confuse the words "new" and "improved." "
Phil thought he'd recuperated in Tahiti, and every single time Tahiti was brought up,
he said "It's a magical place."
"I would have been very happy not to clear you, Phil. I'd love for you to rest up some more."
"I've had plenty of that. Thanks."
"You sure?"
"You should go sometime."
"Where?"
"Tahiti. It's a magical place."
"Three days in, I'd be begging for an assignment."
"Exactly."
Phil's memories of what actually happened included these 2 lines- which were incorporated
into the implanted memory of Tahiti.
"Can you feel that?"
"Who ordered this?"
"It's a magical place."
The character Jasper Sitwell was once the SHIELD liaison to Tony Stark, in the comics.
In the movie continuity, he's a lot different.

I should have, as well. I just wasn't thinking in "current TV mode."
A helicopter pilot blackmails the US to let him use a super-duper helicopter while he searches for his brother.
