"You've been kidnapped. You can call on the characters from one television show to make a rescue attempt. Which show do you pick?"
Any number of great answers possible. The best one I saw where I got this from was The A-Team — and, honestly, given that the show always had a happy ending, usually with lots of freeze-frame laughter, that's not a bad choice.
Maybe Supergirl — small chance of a tragic ending, but … well, seeing Supergirl would be cool. Maybe the DEO (or CatCo) could use an IT Director …

Scorpion. They always have an intelligent solution.
doctor who
The A-Team no question. Be out before lunch.
Dude, you forgot Thunderbirds!
Firefly, thank you very much.
Burn Notice, if I want them messed up. Leverage, if I want to make a profit.
+Alexia Kosciuszko Too likely to end up with an "I'm sorry … I am so sorry …"
+Stan Pedzick Ooooh! But only if I get to ride in one of them and visit Tracy Island and …
+Gaffer Venar (a) Way too likely to have a painful ending, and (b) Those guys would be scary in real life. Really.
+Theron Bretz Good call on "Leverage." Or "Hustle," for that matter.
Agents of Shield
Alright then, "Scooby Doo".
It's what I get for avoiding most television post-1987.
Velma, save me!
+Jeff Guidry you forgot an important point: no matter how much gunplay there is, the A team never shot anyone. By mistake or on purpose. So this is obviously the safest choice.
+Gaffer Venar Yeah, but then I'd feel like an idiot for being rescued from Farmer Smith in his rubber mask. Plus, Scoob and Shaggy would eat up all the apres-kidnapping celebratory pizza.
Spongebob
Six million dollar man and the bionic woman LOL
Maybe Simon Templar, or Danny Wilde and Brett Sinclair, or Steed and Peel. The rest are all a bit random and likely to get you killed as collateral damage.
+Laura Ess Those would certainly all be pretty classy. Though I can imagine scenarios with Steed and Peel where my body is found, dead through some quirky mystery; though no doubt the killers would be brought to justice, I'd just as soon be alive for some bubbly at the end.
I dream of Genie – Again 100% success, no one gets hurt and you may end up somewhere interesting
Where is this from???? And doctor who of course.
Batman ('60's version) POW! BAMM! KERUNCH!
Hannibal (No … on second thought I'll just stay here)
Star Trek (Beam me up, Scotty!)
Agents of Shield (Dangerous, but big cool factor)
The Lone Ranger (Who was that masked man?)
Get Smart (because Don Adams)
Justice League Unlimited (If these guys can't handle it, no one can)
Wonder Woman. Definitely Wonder Woman.
Doctor Who! Any Marvel show basically. Any DC show. Psych. Star Trek.
+Dave Hill My body would have some weird type of distinction as how I was murdered, I'm guessing!
+Amanda Fernandez I found it on LinkedIn. No source beyond that.
The problem for me with the Doctor (also tagging +Clara Pond here) is that rescues in Doctor Who sometimes go very tragically. I don't want to be the one the Doctor says "I am so sorry to. 🙂
+Dan Eastwood _Star Trek_ seems a pretty safe bet, and pretty cool. Get Smart would be fun, except that it's just as likely that Max would inadvertently push me off the cliff I was rescued from ("Sorry about that, Chief").
Justice League (of any sort) would be safe (and interesting), though that might mean that while I was a captive I was in the tender mercies of a number of not-very-pleasant individuals.
+Scott Randel … yeah, Wonder Woman. That'd be … yeah.
Some other ideas:
The Equalizer (I might be mistreated by my Russian narco-lord captors, but Robert McCall and Mickey would never let me down)
Xena: Warrior Princess (or Hercules, but I'd prefer to be rescued by Xena).
Thundercats (take me, Cheetara, I'm yours)
Nero Wolfe (some risk of death, since it is always about a murder, but if I survive it would almost certainly guarantee an eventual visit to at least the Big Man's office)
Jeeves and Wooster (because that would make it a farce and it would mean a good drink at the end)
Buffy.
It would depend on who kidnapped you
True enough – if it were Doctor Doom the choice would pronbably be different than if it were Spike.
seinfeld!
+Julio Yrízar
Heh…
VOICE ON PHONE: So you gunna pay the ransom?
SEINFELD: Hey, now don't get me wrong, I like George and all that, but $10,000? The last Mayor of New York was paid more than that last year. You know, yadda yadda yadda…
Comander Montgomery Scott
paw patrol lmao jk
Duuh! WONDER PETS! Its in their theme song, the save the day!
Vikings – they might fail, but if they don't, the dudes that kidnapped me are going to be in a world of hurt
Dr WHO
Ultimate Force: It was a action show about the SAS.
Sherlock.
+Okasha Habib Which one? Downey, Cumberbatch, or Miller (Elementary)?
+Laura Ess Cumberbatch.
+Okasha Habib I thought about that one … but Sherlock (any of them) doesn't have a very good record at finding the kidnapping victim alive, just in revealing and destroying the kidnapper / murderer (because it always ends up being about a murder).
+Dave Hill Agreed ! But Sherlock making "my" rescue attempt, it's gonna be an amazing story to tell if I make it out alive.
The Doctor, from Doctor Who
April. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry…
stargate
+sanjay thompson SG1, Atlantis, or Universe?
The Winchester brothers from Supernatural. They know how to get shit done.
+Laura Ess SG1 the original guys
guys remember, characters of TV shows not movies
Carrie Matthieson
+Andrew Sauls
What show's Carrie from?
+Laura Ess _Homeland._
