The Truly Exceptional was created in 1979.
It would be a complete sentence if it was grammatically correct. Exceptional times require exceptional measures. (The verb should match the subject, which is plural.)
The word 'exceptional' is the adjective form of the noun exception.
Exceptional isn't any kind of verb. It's an adjective.
It means one who is extremely good at something. For example, I feel Celine Dion has an exceptional singing ability. Another example would be a psychic who has an exceptional ability for predicting the future (if ones believes in that sort of thing). Also, Terry Fader has an exceptional ability in ventroliquism (he won last year's America's Got Talent).
