Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Nanu, nanu." What actor said this in a television show?

Answer: Robin Williams

Robin Williams said this as Mork, an alien. He originally played Mork in "Happy Days", and a spin-off was created called "Mork and Mindy". Robin Williams still played Mork, but Mork was living in the late 1970s instead of the 1950s, and he lived in Colorado. "Mork and Mindy" ran from 1978 to 1982.

2. One moment you're flying to Los Angeles from Sydney, the next moment you're on an island with polar bears, smoke monsters, and a mysterious hatch. What TV show are you an extra on?

Answer: Lost

Since debuting in 2004, this J.J. Abrams series kept viewers on the edge of their seats with plot twists and slowly revealed secrets. Filmed almost entirely on the island of O'ahu in Hawaii, this show is one of the most expensive in history.

Question by player lykita
3. "D'oh" is a catchphrase commonly heard on what comedic TV show?

Answer: The Simpsons

Said countless times by Simpson family patriarch, Homer Simpson, "D'oh" is an expression that seems to resonate confusion, frustration, and a painful realization all at once. Although other characters do say the same line in the show, Homer is most often the one to make the exclamation.

It's one of many lines to recur over the course of the show's decades of episodes.

4. From 1967 to 1970, who played 'The Flying Nun' on TV?

Answer: Sally Field

This series was based on the book "The Fifteenth Pelican", by Tere Rios.

Question by player DaDrill1952
5. After "The Rifleman" was cancelled, Chuck Connors appeared in a new western television show about a cavalry captain wrongly accused of cowardice. What was the name of this show, which sounds like something done to cattle?

Answer: Branded

"Branded" only lasted two seasons, 1965 and 1966. While received as a high quality drama, viewership was low and led to a fairly quick demise.

Question by player ghosttowner
6. Which silly American television talent competition begins with host Mike Myers asking the audience "Who's a cheeky monkey"?

Answer: The New Gong Show

Posing as the fictitious Timmy Maitland, Mike Myers has too much fun overacting the part of host on the revival of "The Gong Show." It was zany in its first run (1976-1980); it became zany and a bit naughty in its new version. The premise is an amateur talent contest judged by three semi-notables (among those appearing are Zach Galifianakis, Megan Fox, Courteney Cox, Dana Carvey, Jack Black, Jennifer Aniston, Ken Jeong, Jimmy Kimmel, Brad Paisley, Alyson Hannigan, and Rob Riggle).

The winner receives a cheque for US $2000.17.

7. Michael Jackson would know. From 1960 through 1962, Boris Karloff hosted this American television program that primarily featured stories dealing with horror or suspense.

"Thriller" first aired on NBC on September 13, 1960. A total of 47 episodes were produced. The final episode was shown on April 30, 1962.

8. On "Leave it to Beaver" Wally had a friend with a unusual and not very flattering nickname. What was it?

Answer: Lumpy

Question by player sb22705
9. On "Green Acres", the American TV programme in the 1960s, Eb Dawson "attends" Middle Indiana Tonsorial College by correspondence. In what is he granted a diploma?

Answer: barbering

Hooterville has no resident barber, thus Windy Hinkle comes to town every six weeks to give haircuts. Eb Dawson enrolls in tonsorial college in order to become the town's resident barber. The word "tonsorial" relates to barbering or shaving. Eb got an A in sideburns, a C+ on pompadours, and a B+ in shaving.

He earns a Bachelor of Barbering degree but the diploma is blank; to get the one with his name printed on it costs an extra $25. Dawson was played by Tom Lester.

Question by player FatherSteve
10. In the children's television series of the same name, what was the name of the train driven by 'Casey Jones'?

Answer: Cannonball Express

OK, let's sing: "Come all you rounders if you want to hear
The story of a great engineer
He's the greatest of them all they claim
Number one his engine Casey Jones his name

Casey Jones
Steamin' and rollin'
Casey Jones
You never have to guess
When you hear the tootin' of the whistle
It's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express."

The TV series ran for 58 episodes in 1957 and 1958. It was set in the American West of the late 1800s.
