Need a clue to get started?

In this 80s show, she was Ice Princess only one day per year. The rest of the time she was a maid.

4

Maybe you could tell us how this game works. Thanks.

5

Sure. Answer the first question. That will give you a clue to answering the second question, and so on. For instance, Let’s say the first three questions were:

  1. 70s Polish cop on a comedy cop show

  2. 90s comedy in which that actor played a gay boarder

  3. Who played his gay lover?

  4. Show for which that actor is famous

The answers would be

  1. Wojohowicz (Max Gail on Barney Miller)

  2. The Drew Carey Show

  3. Adam West

  4. Batman

An additional clue for #1 in the OP: The show had three brothers, two of which had the same name and didn’t speak.

6

  1. Who was the Ice Princess?
    Julia Duffy

  2. Who played her love interest?
    Peter Scolari

Damn dude…this one is hard! I’ll be back…i think.

7

So far, so good, though.

Questions 19 and 20, I would think, would be a dead giveaway.

8

Law & Order was first broadcast on September 13, 1990, so there’s something screwy going on.

Damn…I can’t fill in the blanks.

Also just realized how the chain works, and it has nothing to do with the show “Law & Order” - the questions are just about detective and lawyer roles.

11

Correct. Law & Order is not the answer to a single question. Sorry if that was misleading. I just put that in there because there were an amazing number of cop shows and lawyer shows.
