Are you kidding? I go to sleep every night watching TVLand or Nick and Night! How pathetic is that?

I'm so old I saw the originals. No life as a kid. or even young adult.
Now happily married with five. Foound something else to do besides T.V.

Here's a few new ones


A "A Soldier of Fortune is a man called..."


B "Today is Tuesday" (OOPS, Not a theme just the Tuesday Song) The theme sample is is "Hey There, Hi There Ho There"

C "Believe it or not its just me"

D " now you see on Camera three" edited to correct lyric slightly.

I only watched 'C' a few times, but there was I guy I worked with way back when (pre-Pension days).
he had gone out to Universal Studios, and was picked the day he was out there to 'demonstrate' how they made someone 'fly in the air'. nasty tune. once it gets in your head it goes on and on and on.


(By the way, I am hoping there are enough 'pathetic' TVland people for my ASPPA talk in July that remember Get Smart.)

Would you believe . . . that I missed it by THAT much!

Tom,

I don't know what made a bigger impression on me from Get Smart, Agent 99 or the Sunbeam Tiger Maxwell drove.

For me, it's always been the shoe phone.

How about the cone of silence?

Well Tom,
From the comments, it appears that at least a few of us in the community have been devotees of the show. I hope your audience reflects the same.

BTW
Any takers on a-d above and the remaining from the original list ???

#2 Love Boat???

Click to view attachment
well, I have worked the shoe phone into the presentation.
Guess I will have to modify my talk in Washington in the fall to include the 'Get Smart' stuff.

# 2 Not Love Boat but I cheated and found the rest of the 5 I didn't get.

Well, I certainly enjoyed the views of Love Boat...but then again I was 13.

so I think that leaves 2, 3, 5 , 13, 14,20
yes, Mr ERSIA, Maude was correct.
one of the shows starred Marlo Thomas.

jevd - of the 4 you posted, I knew b and c

ANSWERS?

http://www.actualentertainment.com/puzzlers/puzzle21.htm

Now that you have the rest of the original answers, what about a thru d of my mini quiz?

Per google:

A Have Gun Will Travel?
B Mickey Mouse Club?
C Greatest American Hero?

So far so good.

D may be a tough nut to crack.

D doesn't google. But camera three does. Is it "Now you see on camera three" Chipmunks?

Yes! You've jogged my memory! D is from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Correct. Sorry for the mis leading lyric but i didn't use google to come up wuith them only my slightly aged memory.

Yea. I consider what I did to be cheating anyway. So the questions shouldn't have to be perfectly "googlable"

A: Have Gun Will Travel

B: Mickey Mouse Club


20: Wyatt Earp

Sorry; just noticed that A & B were stated previously. how about Annie Oakley for 14. Memory says she was pint sized but could shoot like the dickens.
