Is "first run syndicated show" somehow ambiguous? :hscratch:

Oh, it means shows like Baywatch, Hercules, etc.

Not everyone is as smart as you.

I of course knew exactly what it meant because I am as smart as you. Maybe smarter.

First off, what is "syndication"?

If you answered a show that aired on, say:

you are wrong.

I am confused by the question.

If you know the difference between a SHEEP and a REVERSE SHEEP question, especially when filling out a spreadsheet that is clearly labeled, then yes -- you are smarter than me.

Standing ovation to Red Dog for remembering Superboy.

It uses specific TV/broadcast lingo that I am not 100% familiar with. It would have helped to know this:

First-run syndication refers to programming that is broadcast for the first time as a syndicated show (not any one particular network), or at least first so offered in a given country (programs originally created and broadcast outside of the United States, first presented on a network in their country of origin, have often been syndicated in the U.S. and in some other countries).

Still, I think my answer of Acapulco Heat, VIP, Baywatch Nights, or Thunder in Paradise would've been better.

Then again, I'm happy with my answer.

I had no idea that was a syndicated show. Of course, when it aired, I was not old enough to know or care about the difference.

Please tell me Thunder in Paradise had multiple answers. :lol:

If you didn't know what the question meant you should have just <strike>googled</strike> known like I did.
