I used to play this game with myself when I was bored where I would try to create "chains" by linking names and phrases together. For example, I might morph "I'm A Little Teapot" and the "Teapot Dome Scandal" into "I'm A Little Teapot Dome Scandal."

Now, someone needs to jog my memory because I know there's an actual game that also became a short-lived game show based on this same idea. While I wait for someone to remind me what that was called*, I've created another game for y'all to play. Just like my last two games, you won't win anything, but I think this one is a little more challenging that my last two.

I've written plot descriptions for twenty-one series below. Here's an example:

In this series, a family stranded in a faraway galaxy battle aliens from an Atari video game. Meanwhile, Martians invade Earth, control people's minds, and steal candy bars.

The answer: "Lost in Space Invaders from Mars Bars."

A couple things you should know: An actual TV show title will appear at least once in each answer. Also, a word may appear as part of another word. For example, a show about a woman who starts both a diet program and a site where people can find apartments and sell things would be called "Jenny Craigslist."

Got all that? Any questions, let me know in the comments. Now put on your smarty pants and get to work:

1. A stuntman / bounty hunter captures bad guys while also celebrating the day in 1605 when a man tried to blow up the British Parliament.
