TV Show Mash-Up

Not many shows make it 10 seasons. Far fewer are current shows.

This current show has had more than TEN theme songs!

Among the theme songs were the following lines:

"On a road, far from home,

you don't have to feel alone.

Brave and strong, together we will be.

It's our destiny!

We will be heroes,

We can change the world if we try!

I go where you go,

Forever friends, you and I!"

"Be the best you can be

And find your destiny

It's the master plan

The power's in your hand."

"Walking down this endless highway

With nothing but my friends beside me

We'll never give in, we'll never rest"

"Yeah, this dream keeps us together,

This shows that you and I -

Will be the best that the world's ever seen,

Because we always will follow this dream!"

"And the future will decide

If there's a hero buried deep inside"

"No time to question my moves

I stick to the path that I choose

Me and my friends are gonna do it right

You'll never see us run away from a fight

To be a Master is my dream,

All I've got to do is believe."

"I wanna be the very best

Like no one ever was."

Some might consider this entire series to be nothing more than a long commercial,

but others might consider it some sort of modern, buddy "on the road" story like

the old movies, with 3 buddies instead of 2 buddies.

That show, oddly enough, HAS been around more than 10 seasons, but has been around

less than the 1 I'm talking about. It's also been associated with relatively few

consumer purchases- but the one I'm talking about has been very profitable,

between cross-marketing and licensed products, and so on.

Toys and cards are almost certainly the biggest sellers.

The main character's famous for wearing a cap. Replicas of one of his caps have been hot

sellers for young folks at times.

Among the oddness of this show:

-a lot of the police seem related and look similar...they're all named "Jenny"

-a lot of the nurses seem related and look similar...they're all named "Joy"

-many regular characters can't speak English, and their speech

sounds a lot like their names....

and they don't have names as individuals, they're referred to by their sub-species

rather than by a personal name

"Gotta catch 'em all"

Is this some sort of "Adult Swim" cartoon? I've really got nothing.

George

It is definitely not "Adult Swim". In fact, when I was in NYC, the thing aired

on a commercial channel while in syndication on a different channel.

I can currently see it in syndication on 2 different channels.

It is VERY well known.

Mrs Wolf just looked over all the clues and rattled off the answer halfway down

the list. Since she doesn't want to log in and answer, she suggested that I mention:

The long commercial refers to a game (as well as plush toys, the

electronic pokedex), etc.

Japan already had made pocket monsters a successful product long before

this particular show came along.

Pocket monsters =

Pokémon. :)/>

George

At this point, I figured throwing the original name out wouldn't hurt.

if the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys didn't tell anyone, and

"gotta catch 'em all" didn't tell anyone, it was time for quotes like

"I wonder which Pokemon would be best to use now?"

Though I didn't get it from "gotta cath 'em all," I do, in retrospect, remember that line associated with them.

This show has had essentially three lives, with twelve different people playing the lead character.

"Mind if I smoke?"

"I don't care if you burn."

(That was from the scene with the trick handcuffs that don't open with a key.)

" I'll go fix my lipstick. I won't be gone long, 'Killer'. I call you 'Killer' 'cause you slay me.

"And I'm calling Bellevue 'cause you're nuts!"

"Hello, Bunny? This is ol' Buttercup."
