    I find this thread to be threadjacked by old geezers! Tongue-in-cheek aside it would be a teensy-weensy bit of fun if we could try to have somewhat contemporary stuff so the people not yet 30 may have a chance. It is hard enough as it is in not being America. I will stop my whining now ;)

    *really just want to put forth his show for guess work*

    Actually, the teensy-weensy bit of fun part is listing shows that all you young whippersnappers haven't got a clue about. :p

    OK, joacqin, how's this? - Pierce Brosnan and Stephanie Zimbalist (probably a softball)

    hehehe - scooped!

    Remington Steele

    Since I happen to agree with Splunge that it's fun to finally have an arena around here where age and treachery really do overcome youth and skill, I offer this challenge:

    Name the actor who brought both of these TV roles to life (bonus points if you also name the shows the characters are from):
    Tom Corbett
    Anthony Blake

    Well, it has to be Bill Bixby because of the Courtship of Eddie's Father (Tom Corbett), but what was the show with him as Anthony Blake? I'm drawing a blank.

    Drat, that was too quick. Since you got 2/3 of it right I'll give you the other piece... "The Magician," my favorite show as a pre-teen. I had a HUGE crush on Bill Bixby then...

    No accounting for a nine-year-old's taste, eh? Take it away, dmc! :roll:

    I hereby invoke the Impatient Jackass rule and hijack the thread: :p

    At the end of the opening theme song, the protagonist would say his catch phrase: "lets get dangerous".

    Minor hint: he said it with a lisp ;)

    Hey, that one was easy as soon as you mentioned the lithp...

    How about:

    An eternal struggle between twins Adam and Zachary (played by the same actor) that will decide the fate of the world. The bad guy is helped by a beautiful witch called Beatrice, while the hero's main helper is a strange fat monk called Godbold...

    Aha, Aldazar is close...

    Any guesses on the name of the show?

    Still no ideas. Roll out some clues so we keep this game moving along.

    Ok, it doesn't look like anyone is going to get this one - but Aldazar was almost there so he might as well continue...

    The series was called 'Wanderer' and was actually quite good. I don't really know any more about it - I just happened to see it one evening on TV and watched it during the next year or so...

    You putting this in MY hands again??

    I'll give it a shot and I think I have an easy one.

    A 'colour-blind' amnesiac with a computer-like brain is on the run from a mysterious, malevolent organisation.
