You didn't give the full name of the show. It's Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

Is there another TV series it could be confused with?

There was also a Disney animated series featuring Hercules.

Are there many Hercules shows? I honestly don't know.

Edit: Groucho answered my question.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2

While you guys discuss that, let's move on to:

Question 20

Name a television series in which vampires appear.

I'm pretty sure The Muppet Show was first-run syndicated.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2

That's BS. Mordred clearly meant Hercules. How many first-run syndicated shows are there by that name?

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Muppet_Show is syndicated since it aired on "various channels" in the United States.

Hold up...House of Payne was literally first run in syndication..."premiering in syndication on June 21, 2006, and has been broadcast exclusively on TBS since June 6, 2007."

I think Hercules should be allowed.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2

I like making you guys check the wrong answers. It's easier for me.

House of Payne has been upgraded to a correct answer.

I could have sworn that The Muppet Show was broadcast on CBS, but who am I to argue with Wikipedia? Correct answer.

Thank God I managed to change the Muppet Show page just minutes before the question was challenged.

As far as I know, there were no wrong answers on this question. So, non-uniques.

Why is the Lost World wrong? I could have sworn that was syndicated.
