RF Generation Message Board

Same rules as the last time. Give hints after 24 hours of no/incorrect guesses and you have 24 hours to post the next screenshot if you get it right.

We'll start where we left off:

Hint: Its a British TV show.

Eastenders?  Only one I know. :)

Nope

Hetty Wainthropp Investigates?

That's it!

Next:

(Sorry about the small size)

The Lost World ?

Yes

ok, here's one

(hope it works)

Hint : Another screenshot from the same TV show

Is that from Prison Break?

No

Hint : Like bickman2k noticed, the actor seen on the second screen also played on Prison Break. This actor plays the main character on this tv show.

Another screenshot : The white rectangle in the corner is not important. It was to remove the channel logo.

Hints :

- The show aired from 2002 to 2003

- "I woke up in an island off the coast of Seattle. I didn't know how I got there ... or who I was. But I did seem to know everything else. There were things about me I didn't understand ... the brand, being colorblind, extreme claustrophobia. And while my gifts provided answers for others, I still search for my own."


Question about the rules : If no one finds the TV show, do I keep giving hints or I give the answer and post another screenshot for another TV show?

My guess: John Doe

Yes, that's the TV show. Well done.

Here's the next:

Only a link, what am I doing wrong?

Edit: solved... thanks for your help NES_Rules!

You need the location of the image, ending in .jpg (or similar type). Photo sharing sites usually give it to you but I can't find it on Flickr.

I did find this on their FAQ though:


I have no idea what the show is, but it looks like a cheaper generic version of Stargate.

The answer is in your reply, the guys in the screenshot are from  Wormhole X-Treme, a show-within-a-show...

Sweet, I was never a fan of SG-1, but do vaguely remember seeing parts of that episode now that you mention it.

I'll let someone else take my turn

How about an easy one:

That 70s show? Left to right, Jackie, Hyde, Fez, Kelsso, Eric, and Donna

Yessir.  Your turn.

Here

The series is based on a movie.

The guy in the pic above went insane and thought the the protagonist was Gabriel.

Does nobody know it?

Did I kill it again.

Do I post another?

You probably should, I don't think anyone is going to get this one.

Really? Nobody got Highlander?

Big Wolf on Campus?

Yep.

That took a little detective work, they character looked really familiar but I couldn't place him. Luckily, Fox Family wasn't around very long so it didn't take too long of reading show titles before remembering that one.
Next:

Salute Your Shorts?

Very close.

Is it that one about the horse ranch?

Hey Dude?

Hey Dude is correct!

Next:

[img width=400 height=300]http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/images/reviews/190/1217808088_1.jpg[/img]

The Love Boat

You got it.

[img width=327 height=325]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7065/6980703775_b8f9a5f1b0.jpg[/img] (http://www.flickr.com/photos/nupoile/6980703775/)

Head of the Class?

yes

Next:

[img width=432 height=287]http://www.sitcomsonline.com/whatshappening/whatshappeningphoto2.JPG[/img]

What's Happening!

That's it.

This could be a tough one...

Hint?

The series only lasted 22 episodes, from 1981-82. 1 season.

Chico and the Man?

Not Chico and the Man. Good guess, though.

This one came afterwards.

Another hint: One of the main actresses in the show was on a lot of 70's and 80's game shows. She was frequently on Match Game (blonde...SMOKING hot!).

Another hint?

Is it Mr Merlin

Is this thing still alive?

I'd say go ahead and post something shoboni. phoenix1967 doesn't seem to have been active in awhile.

Something a little creepy looking since it's October.

Friday the 13th the series?

No, but I believe both shows are from around the same time period.

Time for a hint?

Hint: It's had both Ron Pearlmen and Jonna Jet as guest stars.

Tales from the Crypt? I cannot think of any other Horror TV shows from back in the day.

It's not a Horror TV show, though you wouldn't know this one unless you watched it more than likely.
Think of a movie/show that dealt with immortals and a sword.

Either way, 24 month rule

It's only been 10 months...
Anyways, it's Highlander: The Series. I'm not interested in posting TV pictures, just in getting it moved along. ;)

I assumed Horror because of the guess for Friday the 13th. I didn't think it could be an adventure series. I loved the first movie, but have never seen the series or any of the sequels.

I will jump in with an easy one to help revive the thread.

[img width=300 height=225]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/Scott_Breaze/MysteryTV1_zps5efd84cb.jpg[/img]

Super Mario Brothers Super Show, this is the Legend of Zelda segment

You Rock! I was expecting to trick someone into saying the legend of Zelda series (I tried my best to leave the green tunic out), but you knew it was the SMBSS. You are up.

An oldie, but goodie

[img width=490 height=368]http://www.minority-review.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/darkshadowstv.jpg[/img]

Dark Shadows?

I think Togo has it.

He does. I haven't seen this show though.

Yup. That is definitely Barnabas Collins.

That's it

Dukes turn

24 hour rule:

[img width=320 height=240]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/Scott_Breaze/MysteryTV2_zpsd84aa709.jpg[/img]

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? (Apparently haven't managed to burn the horrible memories out of my skull)

I loved that show as a kid! That's Bulk and Skull.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGWYhEWlXfM

Yes it is Bulk and Skull. I figured I would post them since any of the original rangers would be too obvious. 2016 houses the release of the MMPR reboot. Hoping for good things with it like the new Turtles, but information about who is producing/directing it or info on a budget or actors hasn't come my way, so I am not holding my breath...yet...

Mike's up next!

Alright.

I had a crush on this actress as a kid. I have a signed 8x10 kicking around somewhere, as I remember her doing a promotional tour stop, for this show at one of my local toy stores.
[img width=320 height=240]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/vikkismokes_zpsa53ccd59.jpg[/img] (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/michaelrancourt/media/vikkismokes_zpsa53ccd59.jpg.html)

Ha ha, Small Wonder (At least I think it was called that).  I loved that show.

oops, haven't checked thread in awhile but Shaggy is correct.

o.0

24 hour rule. Revival!

[img width=476 height=269]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/Scott_Breaze/MysteryTV3_zps225f8c63.jpg[/img]

I will throw up a Hint.

This actor was just announced as the lead in the new Ben-Hur film.

That would be from Boardwalk Empire.

It sure is. Your turn, sir!

[img width=700 height=466]http://i.imgur.com/yM1pTLh.jpg[/img]

The Last Ship?

Nope.

Here's another screenshot:
[img width=700 height=393]http://i.imgur.com/8DEgGNs.jpg[/img]

Z Nation?

Yep.

Sure, pick a show my wife watches instead of one I do. ha ha The Syfy ad is the only reason I was able to guess it.

[img width=500 height=289]http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/20/86/77/2086771720632ef33681fdefb29720b5.jpg[/img]

You should be watching it, its easily the very best show to ever come out. It is so much better than the Walking Dead.

I don't know the new one, but is that guy Richard Alpert from Lost?

Yes it is. I hadn't seen Lost, so I had to look him up, but that is the very same actor.

My wife would disagree that Z Nation would be better than The Walking Dead, although she watches both. I, on the other hand, have not experienced either.

The Tick!!!! Die Fladermaus and American Maid! lol

You win! I figured I would post The Tick since they are making new episodes now.

What!? Animated or Live-action?

Live-action

All I have learned so far is that Patrick Warburton is returning as the Tick, and that it is part of an experiment from Amazon. They will run a new "Pilot" and if the fans want more, they will sign up for more episodes depending on demand, like Netflix did for Arrested Development.

Ben Edlund confirms it will be more dark and edgy than his first attempt and is looking for Nestor Carbonell to come back as Batmanuel...and if he can make that a reality...who knows what will happen?

This thread has been dead too long. Time to revive it. Revive describes this scene:

[img width=634 height=440]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/D492E7D9-0389-421A-B5F7-0CCB0EAE343B.png_zpssdewda9i.jpeg[/img] (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/michaelrancourt/media/D492E7D9-0389-421A-B5F7-0CCB0EAE343B.png_zpssdewda9i.jpeg.html)

Penny Dreadful?

Any further updates on those new Tick episodes? I randomly went back and watched that show on Netflix for the first time in years a week or two ago. Still just as funny as it was then.

Correct!

Well, all right, then.  Here goes:

[img width=460 height=305]http://i500.listal.com/image/4014378/500full.jpg[/img]

No picture

Dang it.  I hate it when that happens.  Okay, let's try this again:

[img width=460 height=305]http://i500.listal.com/image/4014378/500full.jpg[/img]

Still no pic for me.

I'm going with 500 full. lol

And the Shield!

Still waiting for a pic...

Not sure what's up with that image not rendering correctly, but I'm pretty sure shaggy is correct. Someone can always post a new picture - it's been 24 hours.

Shouldn't be to hard considering that's a known actor in one of his early roles.

[img width=500 height=383]https://40.media.tumblr.com/424e4ff68d79e7188944e978dfa28bcb/tumblr_inline_nmlzdqFpR81rt9ues_500.jpg[/img]

Highlander

Eeyup, Mike has it.

That's Jason Issacs playing the immortal villain of the week in an early episode.

Next One

I would play but I have no clue.

No worries lol.

The answer is Better off Ted. Great show but was cancelled after two seasons.

Alright, I think this one will be easy. I will even give a hint, this isn't the #1 star of the show, but he is the second most important character. I guess Black and White is a hint of its era too.

[img width=140 height=180]https://s14.postimg.org/e9lcs0zv1/TV1.jpg[/img] (https://postimg.org/image/e9lcs0zv1/)

It's been two days, another hint?

Yeah, I wasn't sure how popular this topic was thats why I didn't yet. Now that I know I will show a picture of the main star too.

[img width=143 height=180]https://s2.postimg.org/u7pnk9ypx/tv2.jpg[/img] (https://postimg.org/image/u7pnk9ypx/)

I'm gonna throw out The Rifleman because of the Winchester?

See. Thats why I didn't initially show the main character. You see now why I didn't? ;P

It was a wild guess when I saw old western + hero posing with a Winchester.

[img width=484 height=359]http://girlsaregeeks.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/fire_sheppard.jpg[/img]

Anyone?

Hint: That's a really young Mark Shepard.

The X-Files

You got it.

[img width=139 height=180]https://s21.postimg.org/rjjm91t0z/TV3.jpg[/img] (https://postimg.org/image/rjjm91t0z/)

Not a purely B&W show. It could be seen in color as well.

MASH, to easy once I noticed Jamie Farr and William Christopher (RIP).

You fell into my trap. Because its not MASH. And yes, its too bad they are gone but they will be remembered with love for giving us joy on the TV.

I was gonna say. If that's MASH then who's the woman, don't remember her being in it. And would be a bit of a B tier characters picture for the other 3 (maybe not Sherman so much)

I will come clean. It is the same characters. But it isn't a show called M*A*S*H (as its properly stylized with three asterisks between each letter). But it isn't a guest appearance either. Those are the 4 main stars, or one of the 4 could be said to be the 5th main in a debate, but the pic is only missing one of the top 5 stars.

Is it called After MASH?

YEP! lol

I watched the first episode on youtube recently. It was TV Guide's 7th worst show of all time on a 2002 list, and one of Time's 100 worst ideas. They don't even care its on youtube, they know barely anyone would buy it on a Blu Ray or DVD release. But it still lasted for 30 aired episodes in 2 seasons.

That is Klingers wife from Korea he meets and marries in the last episode of MASH.

LOL Next

I know who Brian  Doyle-Murray is (Bill Murrays older brother) there in the back leftmost, and I recognize the white guy in the formal suit. I haven't found what it is yet though.

Ah,.... Bakersfield PD. I actually have heard of this show before. I remember seeing a commercial for it on a youtube video of a show from around then that had the commercials in it still from when the person taped it. I looked up Bakersfield PD when I saw it. Bakersfield is known as a very countryish city/town compared to the rest of California. It has a Southern vibe and a backroads feel to it from what I hear, and the show makes light of this, the black cop/detective in the commercial gets fed up with the country music that seems to be all they air on the radio, and I guess thats the premise, a city guy trying to get used to a countryish place. In fact Bakersfield was the hometown of two of countries greatest artist and pioneers, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. Then again, Korn is from there too, lol. Even though its not an extremely small town, in fact its about the same size as my hometown here in Washington, Spokane, but mine is the second largest in my state, Bakersfield is 9th, so its a good size but LA and the Bay laugh at it.

The damn thing isn't listed in his filmography on wiki, but its in his bio. Thats where I was getting lost.

 :) Your geography and culture lesson are done for today.

Correct. It was very funny and my favourite show at the time but only lasted one season.

[img width=180 height=136]https://s28.postimg.org/l8ad9a389/tv4.png[/img] (https://postimg.org/image/l8ad9a389/)

Hint time: Its star is a much widely praised comedian and is considered one of the groundbreaking comedians of their trade. He wasn't in that many other sitcoms, he was more known for being on talk shows and for his comedy specials.

He is a personal fav of mine too.

The star was one of the people who filled in for Johnny Carson when he couldn't host The Tonight Show.

Would that be The Bob Newhart show?

No. He is a more not politically correct comedian. He was also pretty much the only famous person on the show, none of his co stars were really famous and many of them stopped acting shortly after it ended. It only lasted two seasons as well I think.

[img width=144 height=180]https://s27.postimg.org/ieuc3jmjj/cpo_W06511.jpg[/img] (https://postimg.org/image/ieuc3jmjj/)

lol I will tell you, its CPO Sharkey starring Don Rickles. Someone else can go.

Damnit I knew the guy, I just couldn't put a name to that pretty face.

Next one

An American action series from Glen A. Larson about a man who could change into various animals.

Manimal

All I could think of was Animorphs which wasn't Larson.

Yep

Edit: was gonna post a pic but can't figure out how. Someone else have a go. First come first served

Under the message box click on Additional Options. You can attach a picture there. :)

Ahh. Cheers

Is is Quantum Leap?

No, the answer is Automan
