Our latest episode looks at The Adventures of Sinbad (https://web.archive.org/web/20061031125314/http://www.jumptheshark.com/s/adventuresofsinbad.htm), the colorful 90s fantasy adventure series (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115086/) that turned the legendary sailor into a younger syndicated hero built for monsters, sword fights, magic, and trouble at sea.
Developed by Ed Naha, David Gerber, All American Television, and Universal, the show followed Zen Gesner as Sinbad, returning to Baghdad before setting sail with his crew on the Nomad. George Buza played Doubar, Tim Progosh played Firouz, Oris Erhuero played Rongar, Jacqueline Collen played Maeve, and Mariah Shirley later joined the series as Bryn.
