Go to IMDb.com and look up 10 of your favorite TV shows.
♥ Post three official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for these 10 picks.
♥ Have your friends guess the show names.

1. Science / Improvisation / Espionage
2. Action Hero / Future War / Crime
3. Submarine / Dolphin / Futuristic
4. Good Versus Evil / Back From The Dead / Babe Scientist
5. Police / Vampire / Multiple Time Frames
6. Sci Fi / Time Travel (seriously, there were only two keywords there) ETA: Police
7. Famous Opening Theme / Android / Tea
8. Extraterrestrial / Dark Past / Girl Heroine
9. Historical / Mask / Character Name In Title
10. Historical / Based On Film / Katana Sword

Most of these are no longer on the air, but think back to the early- to mid-nineties (which is when I used to regularly watch TV)

And extra credit to anyone out there who remembers Ireland / Ancient Rome / Sword And Sorcery

Ahahahaha, and Pirate / Ghost / Number In Title

This is too much fun.

Here are my guesses.

1. Who's Cold War Gadget is it Anyway? (American and Russian improv actors compete in a hilarious game of espionage!)
4. Dr. McBabe's Zombie Hero Squad (Action-Romance. The gorgeous Dr. McBabe runs her zombie crimefighting squad by day but her success cannot conqueor the loneliness in her heart - even heroes need someone to love them)
5. Constable Dracula's 70s Escapade (Count Dracula finds himself fighting crime in the seventies. A madcap fish-out-of-water comedy.)
8. Human Zoo (Teen drama about a girl with special powers, fighting to learn her past, unaware that she's a human captured from Earth growing up on a foreign planet in a simulated earth environment!)
9. Masquerade (Masquerade is mask maker in Renaissance Venice, hideously disfigured by acid burns. Wanted by the Italian crown, he flees across Europe using his superior mask making abilities to keep one step ahead of the royal assasins)
10. Katana! (Japanese game show. Contestants must answer questions on Japanese history in order to earn katanas with which to face physical challenges)

I agree with nimlotbradamant's pick for 5. 9. is too easy to comment on. I'm thinking 7. might be Star Trek: The Next Generation and 1. actually makes me think of MacGuyver. I'll leave the rest for other readers.

3) is Seaquest. Right?

And I know one is "Doctor Who" but I can't decide if it's 6) or 7) or wait! It's 6) and 7) is Buck Rogers? That's the only other show with an android I can think of.... But that wasn't in the 90's was it. I SUCK at these things! =P"

6) Sliders?

Gosh I'm terrible at all these. And I want to say the Ireland one is Xena. But that was New Zealand. But you know, Xena should just be inserted where you can insert her.

I was thinking Dark Angel for 8. too, but I can't figure an extraterrestrial angle.
