    I guess we could start naming all the variety shows in history -- maybe even a few talk shows.

    But I'll go with The Muppet Show.

    No muppets. Here's a nice hint:

    gold lamay (however you spell that fabric) outfits

    From that description, it could easily be the Eurovision Song Contest. Little help? :bigeyes:

    Or Top of the Pops, back in the days of Pan's People.

    What the hell was up with the Seventies? :nuts:

    It's North American afaik. It was big on it's (mostly) female dancers prancing around in gold lamay (still don't know how to spell that) outfits to pop songs and very popular in the early 1980s.

    A crippled fool's rise to power.

    Edit: This series was only 13 episodes and was only intended to be 13 episodes -- perhaps mini-series would be an appropriate description.

    hmmm...a 'semi-season' long miniseries...

    grrr - I'm starting to regret doing things other than watch tv in my past ;)

    Uh, i dunno - just a single guess to keep the thread alive: a dramatization of Stephen Hawking's life?!? No that leaves out the 'fool' part.

    George W. Bush's life? (no, leaves out 'crippled')

    'crippled fool' rising to power - prolly fictional cuz I can't think of any real-life instance of ALL three criteria...

    :idea:

    I doubt this is it, but here goes:

    A&E's co-produced dramatisation of 'the Little General' - Napoleon?

    This was done before cable... no A&E or HBO stuff. Another hint: The lead actor was knighted a number of years ago.

    easy peasy - it's I, Claudius, starring Sir Derek Jacobi! Patrick Stewart made for a mighty appealing Centurioin, too, IMO...

    The woman with the new look has it -- I, Claudius. Granted Claudius was only thought of as a fool before he came into power (which was quite likely an act, necessary for survival in his family), his limp also became less notible after becoming emperor.

    I'm too tired to be clever.

    The host of this show made everything look "easy peasy."
