As I channel surf, when I can’t find something I might like to watch on television, I usually find a listing for one of the shows, dealing with crime stopping units that are identified by just initials. Being that there are so many of them, I thought of how many other television programs were known by initials, or had initials in their titles. It was then that a lightbulb flashed over my head that this might make another test of memory seeing if one clue of some kind can bring back the title of a television show which included. So, guess what? I have compiled a list of clues, each one having to do with the name of an “initialized” TV show. The clue could be a character name, an actor/actress’ name, or some other hint as to what show to which I am referring.
