The Prince and the Bag Lady

Sat, Sep 17, 1983

Crown Prince Yubi and his level 2 asynchronous droid Zax struggle to put together a solar stove in hopes of cooking the first food they find on Earth: some eggs scrounged for them by their new friend: Benji. Unsuccessful, and with his cipher (a life support device worn on the wrist) informing him of the urgency for him to eat, Yubi consumes an egg raw, sending Benji and Zax into the nearby town in search for reflectors for the stove. While in town, they spot Darah and Khyber, hunters sent by Zanu to capture the prince. They return to the prince just in time to help him evade the hunters-barely. With the help with a homeless woman, the prince survives his first encounter with Darah and Khyber...and his adventures on Earth, both for survival and to evade Zanu's hunters, begins.

The Lawrence Welk Show

27 Seasons
Renowned bandleader Lawrence Welk began his own variety series in 1955... and it has never stopped running. Each program was straightforward musical numbers from Welk's band (many of which had featured solos at one point or another), as well as vocal selections and dance numbers from the show's cast. Most of the introductions to the performances, read stiffy by Welk, were kept short. Many of the shows revolved around a certain theme (e.g., "The Music Man" or the Fourth of July), with appropriate songs and dance numbers. The most famous of the featured singers were the Lennon Sisters (Dianne, Janet, Kathy and Peggy), who were featured most every week for 13 years. At the end of each show, Welk would invite women from the audience on stage to dance with him as the theme, "Bubbles in the Wine" (and later, "Champagne Fanfare") played. The show enjoyed a 16-year network run on ABC, and later a successful 11-year syndicated run. Just months after the original series ended, older shows (from c. 1965-1982) were repackaged with new footage and entered a long run in both syndication and on PBS.

Jeopardy!

44 Seasons
"Jeopardy!" is a classic game show -- with a twist. The answers are given first, and the contestants supply the questions. Three contestants, including the previous show's champion, compete in six categories and in three rounds (with each round's "answers" being worth more prize money). In the third round, "Final Jeopardy," the contestants can name their own jackpot -- as long as it's within the amount of money they've already earned. If a player finishes the second round with zero dollars, they are eliminated from "Final Jeopardy."
