The perennial Jeopardy category, now a TWoP game. Given a short list of television-related things, identify what they have in common. As is usual in these games, guesser takes the next round. To start us off:

Demon
Insurance investigator/INTERPOL agent
Space criminal
Recently-fired FBI agent

[Autobiography]

Joss Whedon?

[Tabbyclaw]

Nope.

But you're on the right track that the bond here is a person.

[Holliday]

Nathan Fillion characters?

[Radagast]

Mark Sheppard characters - in the given order, on Supernatural, Leverage, Firefly, and Doctor Who.



Desperate Housewives
Law & Order
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
ER

[Tabbyclaw]

Just confirming that yes, Mark Sheppard was the answer.

[Radagast]

No takers? I'll add an item, then...

Desperate Housewives
Law & Order
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
ER
Glee

[Ms Sugarbaker]

A guest star appearance by John Stamos?

[Radagast]

Interesting thought, but no.

A hint: It's an attribute shared by a character on each show.

[18matt]

Each show has/had a character who started off as a straight woman, but later came out as a lesbian.

For British Eyes Only
Screech's Spaghetti Sauce
Bed Time

[Radagast]

18matt has it right! Well done.

[18matt]

Thanks for the confirmation, Radagast. I'll add one more example to my list...

For British Eyes Only
Screech's Spaghetti Sauce
Bed Time
That Damn Donna Reed

Oh boy. I've single-handedly killed this thread, haven't I? I thought it was really clever, but I guess it's too obscure.

Here's a hint They are episode titles; I didn't add them because figuring out what shows they are from is a part of what they have in common, if that makes any sense.

[Autobiography]

Sitcoms aimed at teenagers?

[The Mad Maple]

I know what shows they're from, but I can't think of the link between them.

[Radagast]

Perhaps another hint?

[18matt]

Ok. Another apology for the worst round ever, another hint: each of these episodes has a moment where one of the characters has a sort of meta, fourth wall moment.

[Tabbyclaw]

I...don't think we're gonna get this one.

[Autobiography]

Episodes where characters Break the Fourth Wall?

[18matt]

Yes, Autobiography!! In each episode, a character breaks the fourth wall by saying the name of the tv show.

You're up. And to everyone else, I promise never to play this game again. I am very sorry.

[Autobiography]

Oh wow. I guess I'm up then, huh?

Alright, I have it!

Besides co-starring in Heroes, what do Hayden Panitierre, Jack Coleman and Adrian Pasdar have in common?

Is it that they all were once on episodes of Touched by an Angel?
