Answer: Body Language

"Body Language" was hosted by Tom Kennedy and originally aired from 1984 to 1986. As in Charades, players tried to guess clues that teammates shared through pantomime. In the game, each of the two teams consisted of a contestant and a celebrity partner. "The Hollywood Squares" was based on Tic-Tac-Toe. "Card Sharks" was based on the card game Acey-Ducey. "Wheel of Fortune" was based on the word and phrase guessing game Hangman.

Answer: Florizel Street

"Coronation Street", which began broadcasting on 9 December, 1960, is a soap opera based around the lives of the residents in the town of Salford in England. In the original scripts of this long running series written by Tony Warren in 1960, its working title was "Florizel Street", but an off the cuff remark by the tea lady at Granada Television, where the show was produced, saw a quick change to "Coronation Street" instead.

She said that Florizel sounded like a disinfectant.

Question by player Creedy

Answer: The Daily Show

Oddly enough, Carell and Colbert had worked together on "The Dana Carvey Show" in 1996. Colbert then joined "The Daily Show" as a correspondent in 1997 while Craig Kilborn was the host; Carell joined in 1999. Besides presenting individual reports, they also collaborated on a debate segment called "Even Stevphen" [sic] which often ended up resembling Monty Python's "Argument Clinic" sketch. Carell left the show in 2005 to pursue other projects including the movie "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and the U.S. version of the TV show "The Office". Colbert left the same year to start his own satirical show "The Colbert Report".

Question by player PDAZ

Answer: Quick Draw McGraw

In the series "Quick Draw McGraw", Quick Draw was a Western character who looked like a horse, but wore a cowboy hat. He acted like a Texas ranger who traveled around catching bad guys. However, there was a bad guy named "Horse-Face Harry" who also looked like a horse, and he could pass for Quick Draw.

When Horse-Face began robbing people, everyone thought it was Quick Draw.

Question by player zorlock7

Answer: Hee Haw

Hee Haw, the down home country variety show, ran for nearly 20 years (much longer once syndicated). Where else could you sing along and blow a raspberry without getting into trouble? "Where, oh where, are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over, and I thought I'd found true love, You met another, and PFFT! You was gone!"

Question by player RufusDufus

Answer: Third Watch

The theme song is titled "Keep Hope Alive" by Crystal Method. It ran for 6 seasons and had 132 episodes from 9/99 to 5/05. The police station, 55th precinct, in the series called itself "Camelot" because it was located on the corner of King and Arthur Streets.

There is no 55th precinct in New York. The fire house dog was named Mantooth presumably after one of the characters in "Emergency 51".

Question by player KymmAnn

Answer: The Kelly Clarkson Show

Syndicated talk shows are shown on stations affiliated with different networks in different TV markets. Although it seems like other shows might have replaced "Steve" in various markets, the production unit stopped "Steve" and began "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in 2019.
