wasn't that the show about Carla's ex' family? the Tortellis ?
oh-and Paul Revere and the Raiders were co hosts of Where the Action Is, but Dick Clark was on it too, as main host-though his presence wasn't as great as on Bandstand.
This show started in radio-was still going on TV into the 70's, and starred a host who became much more famous for another show-which is still on today-but not with him. There were games of sorts involved.
nope-not either of them-it's not on anymore-but the guy from that show, went on to host the longest running game show which is still on. The show in question was a game in the loosest sense of the word.
ok another clue-the host was and is into controlling the pet population-and the show in question is not the last game show he hosted, but one he did for many years beforehand.

Alan Ladd (betty white's husband? If that's his name?) and Password. I know Betty was a big animal activist.
it is Bob Barker, and he did the show before Price is Right for MANY years. It began on radio without him, but ran on TV at least in the 60's and 70's. It wasn't exactly a 'game' show, though that would be the category to classify it. I know it was still going in the early 70's and I know most everyone here is old enough to have been there, so it's not obscure.
I would have got it too, had I not missed the clue. I actually was thinking "TPIR", but I didn't think that Bob went back that far, even though he's in his 80's now.
Good job George! And I thought For Sure I had it right!

ok-if no one knows it by now-I don't know any clues that would help. It was 'Truth or Consequences' hosted by Bob Barker for a loong time.

By the 60's on TV, it was more anything goes,with wacky stunts, and a lot of women being surprised by their husbands who were stationed far away in the military, but brought in to reunite with each other.
This cartoon show featured two main heroes. It also had a guest hero each week, and a mystery clue for you to guess who next week's guest star would be.
This is probably too easy (at least for hiway and WW); but, we'll see.

OH geez. Cartoons are such a guy thing. IMO.
OKAY, I'll take a crack. Even though it's WRONG. Scooby Doo. that's my guess. sigh.
I'm thinking the hippy guy and his dog scooby, are the two main hero's. And they always showed a preview of next week's show. That's as far as I remember, lol.
The other day I read some trivia about the comic book
"THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD"
and how that team-up comic would foreshadow the next guest.
I'd be shocked if the cartoon of the comic was the correct
answer. However, I have to get past that to think about this.
Interesting that you should bring that up.
Originally, the comic book "The Brave and the Bold" ("B&B") introduced new characters to the DC lineup, as did "Showcase." Starting with #50, it became a team-up book. (This doesn't count the introduction of teams like the Suicide Squad and the Justice League.) Starting with #74, and through the rest of its run (to #200), all the team-ups featured Batman as one hero. For a time, the last panel of an issue gave a clue to the identity of the next issue's partner. Incidentally, the comic book "World's Finest" changed its format from being a Batman-Superman team-up to a Superman-whoever team-up book, which also, if I recall correctly, had a clue at the end of each nook as to the team-up character in the next. The recent "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" cartoon featured Batman with other heroes, each week; but that is not the show I have in mind. (The last episode, entitled "Jumping the Shark," was a real hoot!)

This cartoon came even before "Super-Friends."

I used to love the jump the shark website. Anway,
Well I did a quick peek as to when Super Friends was, (that's not cheating! And I only looked for 2 seconds!) and it said it was something like 1973. So I'm assuming it was before that. hmmmmm. hmmmmm.

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

Almost nobody watched the Tortellis. I think some of us would have
tuned in for Norm and Cliff at least for a little just because
we liked Norm and Cliff.

Bob Barker is into animals. And "The Price is Right" is probably the current show. I don't remember what Barker did before that.

Could it be "Queen for a Day"?

It's the only game show that a town was named after!
If you're stuck, look up a show online. Either IMdB, Wikipedia, or both will have a page on it.

Are you turning it over to George for a partial answer, posting another,
or making it a Free Post?
