I'm sure I'll go after I see the answer, but shows that early aren't my forte. Unless by "buddies" you mean husband and wife, and you're referring to the various Desi and Lucy shows.

No, not a couple. And the show had different features besides the main characters.
I KNOW you know this one, your memory goes way back.

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

Well, it's not "The Tonight Show," so it might be a news show. Evening news started later, but maybe "CBS Nightly News"?

It might be one...
Evening news in general started later. It is not a nightly news show.

No, but you were getting closer.
Since I've stalled this thread enough, I'll post the answer.
"MEET THE PRESS" (boring Sunday morning news show) is the longest-running TV show in US history
and is still running today. Not that most people care.

Ok, the show was supposed to be a buddy show, named after Buddy A.
However, everyone liked Buddy B better, so they named it after BOTH-
A & B. Then they changed it to B & A, then just B.
The powers that be for the show actually did a gag about trying to get
an imaginary location added as another US state. They showed up at the
White House, but no President and no photo opportunity.
IIRC, someone came out and said he was too busy- and this was right in
the middle of The Bay of Pigs incident.

======================================
This show's production included some outsourcing to another country.
While in its original run, it had aired right after American Bandstand at one time,
and ran on NBC and ABC during that run. It's been syndicated since.
A pinball machine was made with this as the theme in 1993. TSR made a roleplaying
game with this setting in 1988.
It takes place in Minnesota.
There were TWO feature movies of the characters in theaters. Really,

A couple of questions:
Does this statement "IIRC, someone came out and said he was too busy- and this was right in
the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis" mean that the show aired in the early 60's, or that it TOOK PLACE in the early 60's?
Does "It's been syndicated since" mean it is presently in syndication, or just that it was in syndication after airing originally?
If this were about a cartoon strip, I'd be tempted to say "Barney Google (and Snuffy Smith)"; but it's not...

The powers that be for the show went around the US and then went to Washington DC and parked in front
of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue during the Cuban Missile Crisis-which they had no idea was happening
at the time and they wondered why the President didn't come out to meet them.
(That wasn't an episode, they traveled around.)
It's in syndication now. I was watching it on TV the other month.
BTW, there were THREE movies if you count the entire ensemble and not just the main
characters. I forgot that. (No, they weren't GOOD movies.)

They might have been the buddies I was talking about....
If you follow the dialogue, at least once someone (Mr Peabody) refers to the show as "the Rocky Show."
What state is Frostbite Falls in? :)

Next one:
This show had an organization:
the Nation Organization of Men Against Amazonian Mastery-
abbreviated "NO MA'AM."
And fans who signed up for it on a national registry!
Plans to spin it off as its own show fell through.

I haven't seen the show, but I'd guess "How I Met Your Mother."
