[NOTE from JA: I rarely use the names of TV shows to answer clues, but this is such a clever puzzle I have relented. I have also added a hint, shown in parentheses, to suggest the name of the TV show. Remember, this puzzle was published in 1985.]

In each of the following sentences, the asterisk can be replaced with the name of a familiar TV show, past or present, to complete a sensible sentence. The letters in the name of the show may have to be re-spaced. For example,

The earth rotates about a straigh*s.
The asterisk should be replaced by TAXI - as in
The earth rotates about a straighT AXIs.
