Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Nobody likes Mondays, but at least watching "How I Met Your Mother" can ease the pain. The show loosely centers on a middle aged man talking to his children and telling them the story of how he met their mother. Along the way, we hear about his often hilarious adventures with his four close friends living in New York City. What famous television star provides the voice of the unseen narrator?
2. Since Mondays can be so difficult, it helps to have a double dose of laughter, or perhaps even two and a half doses. Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer serve as the two title men in "Two and a Half Men," but what younger actor is referenced as the 'half man'?
3. On Tuesday nights I watch the only pure drama of all my favorite TV shows, "NCIS". While I enjoy the crime solving, forensic evidence, and story developments, what really sets the show apart is the cast interaction. This interaction is undoubtedly the result of many of the characters appearing in every season of "NCIS". Which of the following main characters joined the show after its first season?
4. Wednesday is a light night of television for me, but I make it count by watching the hilarious "Modern Family". Despite its farcical nature, the show manages to portray a family's love, even though its members are flawed. Despite his discomfort, Jay attempts to learn salsa dancing in order to go dancing with his wife Gloria. Who is Jay's son, who comes to his rescue by providing him with a "special" pill to help him lose his awkwardness?
5. While Wednesday is a light television day, I make up for it on Thursday, as there are five shows I like to watch. Usually I start my Thursday evening off with an episode of "The Big Bang Theory". The show follows the lives of four intelligent scientists who have limited social skills. While all four characters have their own interesting foibles, which character is limited by his inability to talk to females unless he is intoxicated?
6. Since scientists on "The Big Bang Theory" don't like to go outside, it may seem like a good idea to get some fresh air on "Parks and Recreation". Unfortunately the show takes place mostly in an office setting, but it is consistently one of the funniest shows on television. Leslie Knope is the overly-optimistic Deputy Parks Director of Pawnee's Parks and Recreation department, surrounded by office mates who do not share her level of commitment. What is the name of Leslie's boss, whose libertarian views actually make him opposed to his own job?
7. Keeping with the office theme, I then move on to "The Office". Like "Two and a Half Men," the show had to deal with replacing a huge star in 2011 after Steve Carell left the show. In order to deal with the loss, James Spader was brought in as the new CEO of the company, Robert California. What former salesman was selected by Robert to be the new regional manager?
8. As it gets a little later in the night, I need something a littler crazier to grab my attention. Luckily, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is really crazy, following the ridiculous and sometimes obscene choices made by a group of friends who own a bar. Despite being on a cable channel, it has become so popular that one of its stars hosted an episode of "Saturday Night Live". Which star got a chance to appear on broadcast television by hosting the famed variety show?
9. Just before I head to bed on Thursday, I have to catch the latest episode of "The League". The series is a partially improvised comedy which deals with several friends who are in a fantasy league. The friends go to outlandish lengths to outdo each other in the league as well as in real life. What type of sport is the focus of the fantasy league?
10. TGIF! The end of the week has arrived and I'm ready for a relaxing weekend. There is nothing relaxing though about the characters on "Chuck", a group of spies who go on intelligence missions to take down criminals. The fifth and final season began in 2011. Which member of Chuck's team, who has an affinity for Ronald Reagan and guns, is likely to provide some serious firepower?
