    You got it mama. You must remember the original show where they said that. I got no idea what the new version says she cost. With inflation though, its gotta be more than six million ;)

    Medium....methinks perhaps Crossing Over with John Edward? Or the one with that dude that Ted Danson played in that mini-series? they're both Mediums...and I'm guessing they'd probably be on TV around Lunch time? :D

    Oh, good LORD, it's not a soap opera! Bleah!

    Nice analysis on the "medium" Aldazar, that was some great out-of-the box thinking... but it's not the right box, nonetheless. Have a cookie anyway! :roll:

    The show was a short-lived sitcom, based on the antics of a real-life public radio station (see what I mean about "medium", now?).

    I can only think of two programs, but they each lasted three or four seasons....

    That's the other excellent guess, along with WKRP, but both of those shows are far, far too popular - this one lasted only a few episodes.

    Ok, apparently now we know why "FM" lasted only a few episodes... I'm the only one who saw it!

    Try this... backyard friends.

    For the obvious (and probably wrong) answer: Backyardigans.

    To continue the radio theme...

    He came back from the war and eventually landed a job in radio.

    Hint: Two separate shows in the hint -- the first was a war-based sitcom, which the actor quit. The second is a later show he starred in.

    The second show also has some ties to Disney movies of the 70's and maybe 80's.

    Edit: Yet a bigger hint... Lt. Col. Henry Blake, Commanding Officer, 4077 ... after quitting the show the actor did several other comedies. Which TV show is he a radio talk show host?
