In intro, I can see it being used to demonstrate the
tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon (The name of that show was 2 words...).
Then start tossing out hints (retrieval cues). Or once you have
the show's name, can folks come up with the names of the characters?
Does having one name make it easier to retrieve the other names?
Additionally, there could be some discussion about the show theme
songs cueing long ago memories (e.g., I was in high school, and a
friend and I were watching this one episode, and...).
