FunTrivia Television Mix: Vol 18 Quiz

Answer: The Flintstones

"The Flintstones" was first broadcast on ABC in September 1960, and surprisingly only appeared on TV screens for around six years (not including repeats) and just 166 episodes. There was also a number of specials and TV movies featuring the English speaking world's favourite cavemen and women, Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty.

The incidental characters mentioned are wonderful oddballs: Mr Slate, Fred and Barney's grouchy boss, Joe Rockhead, Fred's buddy with whom he goes to watch baseball and Sam Slagheap the pompous leader of Fred's secret society the Water Buffalos. My personal favourite however, is Wilma's mother, the ever antagonistic but wonderfully named Pearl Slaghoople!

Answer: Bootlegger

"The Simpsons" premiered in 1989 and throughout its decades long run the character of Homer Simpson consumed large quantities of beer. Thus it's no surprise that in the season eight episode "Homer vs the Eighteenth Amendment" he works as a bootlegger.

In this episode the city of Springfield has enacted a ban on consuming alcoholic beverages (prohibition). Homer works as a bootlegger by supplying alcoholic beverages to Moe who runs a speakeasy.
