No. This was a syndicated sitcom. Alzado had to be a masked wrestler so no one at his school would know what he was doing. Assuming Hiway is still lurking, he might get it. But I'll give it another day.
George,I remember the show, but not the title. It was mid 80's wasn't it ? I think it was on USA or one of those cable channels. I think the title was a wrestling term but it escapes me.
Paul Henning had 3 comedy series in the 60's that were all successful. They also existed in the same world, and it became common to have a character from one show appear in another.
The quiz question concerns two characters. The first was a woman who was a regular in two of the shows , but played 2 different characters.
the other was a character who seemed to be the common link between the 3 shows, and ran a popular local business.
if the questions seem vague, it's because I'm writing on the run.
"Sam Drucker" was in "Green Acres," "Petticoat Junction," and "The Beverly Hillbillies." I'm blanking on the woman. Maybe WW, Raf, or Human can figure it out.
right on Sam Drucker. I know you'll know the woman. She played one character on the earliest show, then starred as another in a later show, then passed away while it was still in production.
Bea Benederet played the mother of Jethro Bodine (and his sister Jethrine-Max Baer in drag) in the first season of BH. She was such a major character that they moved her out to Beverly Hills and she was even grouped with the family waving bye at the end of the show.
This eight-season show had seven different opening songs, well, actually, seven different variations on a theme. Cast members, in theme-appropriate garb, dance through the opening credits (except for the first season).
this is a good question-I'm blanking on the answer, but I'm working on it without resorting to google -gotta figure anything that lasts 8 seasons I have to at least know about.
that was the magic clue-Bill Cosby. The show I liked was when he was the gym teacher. The Fat Albert cartoon was better than most at the time. Somehow I found his big show boring.
liked I Spy too-if only for the dynamics between Cosby and Culp

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

That's it.
(BTW, Mrs Wolf got the other one from the first 2 quotes.
"Can you feel that?" "Who ordered this?" )

This one is pretty obscure, but I remember watching it and thought it was pretty good. At least, it had a clever title.
Lyle Alzado portrays a high school teacher who moonlights as a masked wrestler.

No chance at all it is "Los Luchadores", I suppose.
That was a Saturday-morning live-action show which had masked wrestlers,
I remember that much.

It was called "Learning the Ropes." It was late 80's, but close enough.
If you want to have a go, Hiway, have at it. Or open up a free post.

Bea Benederet ("Kate") died during the run of PJ (being replaced by June Lockhart in a different role); but I don't remember her from BH (or GA).

I can't overestimate how out of touch with TV I was in the 80's and 90's. This one is lost on me.

The star of the show starred in two other series and a Saturday morning cartoon. :)

Although you never actually used the phrase, "The Cosby Show," I'll give it to you.
Go dig up videos of the opening music sequences from the various seasons. I think the Caribbean version was my favorite.
You're up.

he wasn't the star, but as far as I was concerned, it was the Rowlph show. The real star could keep on selling sausage as far as I cared.

Ah, I remember it well. Your clue should be good enough to let another get it, so I'll pass, for now. :)

OK, then.
"The Jimmy Dean Show" Wasn't Rowlph the first Muppet?
