TV show and Movie Trivia game

What well-known comedian is the son of a published paranormal researcher? Hint -- He followed in Dad's footsteps in more ways than one.

(edit: Oopsie. Chanlin posted a Q while I was reading/typing. D'oh)

Perfectly fine, more fun to have more than one question going in case we get a major stumper like Mooncat's

Did we ever get an answer to this one?

Mooncat? A hint, maybe?

OK, one of the shows was "Robin of Sherwood". And no, it wasn't Michael York.

Well, for one thing, their theme songs were all radio hits..."Welcome Back" by John Sebastian; "Believe It Or Not (Theme from TGAH)" by Joey Scarbury; and "I'll Be There For You" by The Rembrandts.

they were all #1 radio hits, but close enough for government work

Did we ever get an answer to this one?

He played King Arthur and he played a Knight Templar (in 2 different TV series). Who is he?

Taking a major major guess on the King Arthur question and then I will say I am well and truly stumped (after much internet searching).

Is it Michael York?

Was it Sam Neill?

Mooncat? A hint, maybe?

All based on graphic novels? (I know the first 2 are, anyway).

Yes. "Weird Science" was the name of a comic from the 50's, and the plot came from a short story from that series.
