View Full Version : Name that Show

Each person posts a small part of the words to a sitcom theme song. The first person who can figure out or find out what the show is, names it and posts a small bit of sitcom lyrics for the next person. For instance, if the clue were "Who can turn the world on with a smile?" I'd answer "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and then give some lyrics for another show. If no one guesses your entry for a while, you should answer your own question and post another so that the game doesn't get stalled. You can give a hint if you want. What the heck, it doesn't even have to be a sitcom as long as it's a TV show. I'll start:

"There's a traffic jam in Harlem that's backed up to Jackson Heights."

Hint: from the early 60s.

BTW, even if you don't recognize it, there are ways....

No, it's not The Waltons.

Here's another hint:

the grandmother has a son who is a locksmith and his wife dresses kind of like a floozy (sp?)

*bumping this back up* Should have really called it "Name that Tune." Here's how it works:


Each person posts a small part of the words to a sitcom theme song. The first person who can figure out or find out what the show is, names it and posts a small bit of sitcom lyrics for the next person. For instance, if the clue were "Who can turn the world on with a smile?" I'd answer "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and then give some lyrics for another show. If no one guesses your entry for a while, you should answer your own question and post another so that the game doesn't get stalled. You can give a hint if you want. What the heck, it doesn't even have to be a sitcom as long as it's a TV show. I'll start:

"Here we come
Walking down the street
We get the funniest looks from
Everyone we meet"

Name the show and then give a fragment of a theme as the next clue.
