Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from a DVD… and just to make things harder for 2010, this one is from a TV show which may or may not be in my collection (it’s sooo much easier to do screengrabs now that Netflix is streaming to my computer). Guess the TV show — you don’t need to guess the episode, just the show — and earn the respect of me and your fellow FlickFilosopher.com readers. One guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
Twin Peaks
Firefly.
Rome.
Nope, nope, and nope.
X-Files?
Carnivale?
Wild Wild West (the TV series, not the awful movie)?
The Tudors?
Kung Fu – I’m getting a 60s tv vibe
Nope. And I can’t say that anyone’s really close, either.
The Avengers?
Nope.
Here’s a clue: It is not a historical or futuristic story. It’s of recent vintage and set in the present day.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
Ooo, I finally got a really tough one!
OK, I know I aready guessed once but…Kings?
Jonathan Creek?
Not *Kings.* (And not *Jonathan Creek.*)
But it’s okay to guess again if I’ve told you you’re wrong. I just don’t want someone filling up a single comment with 100 guesses, thereby stealing the opportunity to guess from other readers. Make your best guess first, and when I tell you you’re wrong, feel free to make your second-best guess, and so on.
Here’s another hint: It’s a contemporary story, but within that contemporary story is a historical story.
Life on Mars
Nope.
Just a few more hours left to guess. Here’s another hint: It’s not an American show, and it’s not a British show, but it is in the English language…
Corner Gas? You reviewed the first season a few weeks ago so it’s first thing I came up with.
I know no one else guessed since me but you did tell me know and it’s not got long left and I’m stuck working the late shift.
Here’s hoping 3rd time is the charm: Slings & Arrows?
Yes, Dokeo wins: It’s *Slings and Arrows*!
