TNT (I think it’s TNT…) has a show called “The Closer” that has Keyra Sedwick as a “tough as nails older, blond, chick cop who doesn’t take no guff from nobody!”
TNT has another show called “Saving Grace” that has Holly Hunter as a “tough as nails older, blond, chick cop who doesn’t take no guff from nobody!”
USA has a show called “In Plain Sight” that has Mary McCormack as a “tough as nails older, blond, chick [del]cop[/del] US Marshal who doesn’t take no guff from nobody!”
Street Sharks was basically Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… WITH SHARKS!
Edit: Oh, and who can forget the Smurfs and the Snorks, they didn’t even TRY to mask that one.
I think that Lie to Me on Fox is similar to The Mentalist on CBS. And then there’s another show on Fox called Mental, which, I think airs opposite The Mentalist.
You missed an obvious one: Airwolf was pretty much a knockoff of Blue Thunder
That’s a pretty generic description, though.
Friends and Seinfeld seem very similar to me.
Futurama is a funny, animated Star Trek.
I always thought Burn Notice was just like Magnum PI: A hero for hire.
Transformers and Go Bots
Jetsons and Flintstones
Hercules and Xena
In 1994 there was a show on Thursday nights at 10:00 about the doctors and nurses at an inner-city hospital in Chicago. It was called E/R on NBC and Chicago Hope on CBS.
Hogan’s Heros and McHale’s Navy
No, the show on NBC was called ER. E/R was a sitcom that ran from 1984 to 1985. Easy to confuse though, given that George Clooney was in both.
Mary Tyler Moore/Rhoda/Phyllis
doo-doo-doo-doot
Alex Knead?
Knead What is “funny, sad, and pathetic”?
In this case, they were literally the same, and someone from Hanna-Barbera had either an incredible memory of old, live, broadcast once and they were gone, shows on the DuMont network, or he had access to Jackie Gleason’s safe. When the “lost” episodes of The Honeymooners were broadcast it seemed like all of the plots and more than half of the dialog had been recycled on The Flintstones.
Also Sgt. Bilko and Top Cat.
I told a friend that about 15 years ago I saw the same plot on 3 different shows. Then he told me the same plot was on about a month ago on another show.
Lost is actually Gilligan’s Island, just not played for laughs.
If it was the one where the guy has a date with two different girls on the same night, I have some bad news for you …
Thundercats and Silverhawks
With the same voice actors no less.
