Answer 1

Section 9.3 of MySQL 5.1 Reference Manual says back ticks (`) or double quotes ("), however, I'd go with Fahim Parkar's comment above and just rename the table.

Also worth noting, you must use ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode if using double quotes per Section 9.2:

If the ANSI_QUOTES SQL mode is enabled, it is also permissible to quote identifiers within double quotation marks

Answer 2

The problem is with YEAR not with SHOW. YEAR is a MySQL function. Best practice is to quote column and tables names all the time, makes things easy to read also.

Should be:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS `year`, `nameShow` 
FROM   `show`
LIMIT 0, 10

Answer 3

Backticks should work fine

try putting a comma after SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS,

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS, year, nameShow 
FROM   `show`
LIMIT 0, 10
