Question 1 of 10

1. One day a teenage girl gets doused with some chemical that gives her supernatural powers. Not only can she turn into liquid when she wants to slide her way out of tough situations, but she can zap things with an electrical charge, and move things with her mind, all the while being in high school, and trying to hide her true identity from the public to avoid being exposed! Name the show. Hint

"The Secret World of Alex Mack"

"As Told By Jody"

"Clarrisa Explains It All"

"The Mysterious World of Pepper Green"

Question 2 of 10

2. There's another strange young adult out there who's living amongst the people of "Smallville". His name is Clark Kent, and he's destined to become Superman. But all the while young Clark has stalled in taking on his mission by engaging in human behaviors rather than embracing his extraterrestrial identity. During one episode, Clark is instructed by Jor-El to complete training in his Fortress of Solitude before sundown, but Clark fails at this. What is Jor-El's punishment for his son's defiance? Hint

Clark is frozen in the Fortress for 30 days, while a Clark look-a-like (a phantom mind you) runs around Smallville pretending to be him.

Clark is forced to break up with Lana or she will die. As a result, she falls in love with Lex Luthor, and marries him.

Clark's Earth father suddenly dies, as exchange for Clark's life and disobedience.

Clark's powers are taken from him, which Clark initially finds to be a positive thing.

Question 3 of 10

3. Speaking of "Smallville", the character Jimmy Olsen looks awful familiar. Perhaps you thought it was him who had a guest role on "Smallville" during the earlier seasons, and maybe you even thought it was him who had a starring role in the "X-Men" trilogy, but it wasn't him- it's his brother, and he has also starred in a science-fiction television show of his own. What was it called? Hint

"Mighty Morphing Power Ranger"

"Maniacs"

"Animorphs"

"Dinolords"

Question 4 of 10

4. "Roswell" is especially unique. It's the show about a group of aliens who appear as teens and live amongst ordinary people in Roswell, New Mexico. Yet the teen aliens have no clue why or how they got there until toward the end of season 1/beginning of season 2. One thing they find out about themselves is how they are able to look like humans, and still be aliens. What did they find out? Hint

They were selected at birth by three royal aliens on the planet Kavar, which on their 18th birthdays, they would begin to be transformed into their alien selves. That is why Tess showed up.

They are actually a type of alien known as Skins, in which they shed their skins every year during harvest, and new skins are engineered in a cryogenic chamber for them to put on.

They are hybrid aliens, half alien, half human, purposely engineered this way.

When they were birthed from their pods in the dessert, they were engineered to only appear to each other and humans as human beings, but other aliens would automatically see them for their true alien self, just as they for other aliens.

Question 5 of 10

5. Perhaps "Roswell" would still be on if the alien's identities were never revealed, but the group was forced to flee because the government had finally caught on to them. What piece of incriminating evidence is discovered in the Evan's home during the night of Tess' return, which sparks the whole fleeing situation? Hint

Michael's blood which when tested by the military scientists reveals un-human like qualities.

The alien baby that Tess and Max created.

A video of Isabel using her powers to move objects rapidly above her in her room.

Photos of Liz breaking dishes with the powers she obtained from Max.

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. "Heroes" is the latest show to join the supernatural T.V. world. I love all the creative powers the characters have on the show; in fact so many characters have so many powers it's hard to remember what everyone can do. What power does Mohinder Suresh have during seasons 1 and 2? Hint

He had the ability to take other people's power, but he had to kill them first.

He is the creator of the Shanti Virus, which his abilities lie in its creation.

He had the power to do anything but because his power was so life altering, he injected himself with the Shanti Virus so he may never use his abilities.

He revealed no powers during those seasons. He was just a scientist.

Question 7 of 10

7. Hiro Nackamura can time travel, and has conquered the "space-time continuum" on "Heroes", but on this, younger crowd, show the main character and his family are from the future, and in the future, people have the ability to travel through time recreationally. His family goes on vacation in the 21st century only to get stuck there, with all their futuristic devices and knowledge, but of course they must blend in. What show is this? Hint

"Phil of the Future"

"21st Century Ago..."

"Land of the Lost"

"According to Allen Strange"

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. I got into "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" toward the end of the airing of the show, and I never get to catch it. But I did notice that one of my favorite "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" characters is now a character on another one of my favorite shows. What is the name of the character he plays? Hint

Milton Fine

Nathan Petrelli

Howard Rawls

Jack Bauer

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

In her locked journal she called, "So Weird".

On her internet website she called, "So Weird".

On her video diary show she called, "So Weird".

In an ongoing letter she was writing to her deceased father.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: "The Secret World of Alex Mack"

"The Secret World of Alex Mack" aired during the early 90s on Nickelodeon. This show was one of the first shows I discovered about teenagers having super powers. It was a great show back then because she was always trying to hide her secret from her parents, and from the public, so that the chemical plant where her incident happened wouldn't catch up to her!

Answer: Clark's powers are taken from him, which Clark initially finds to be a positive thing.

"Smallville" is one of my all time favorite shows. This question pertains to the first episode of season 5, probably one of the best "Smallville" seasons, next to season 6, thus far. This is the season where spaceships (other than Clark's) show up, Lex gets deeper into his investigation of extraterrestrial life, Clark really loses Lana, and while she ends up with Lex, she is beginning to show an interest in the extraterrestrial world herself, which helps her in slowly piecing the 'mystery of Clark Kent' puzzle together. Juicy!

Answer: "Animorphs"

This is one of the many teenage science fiction shows that aired on Nickelodeon. Also, Aaron Ashmore, "Smallville"'s Jimmy Olsen, and Shawn Ashmore who starred in "Animorphs" are twins.

Answer: They are hybrid aliens, half alien, half human, purposely engineered this way.

Toward the end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2, much is revealed to Max, Michael, and Isabel about their alien heritage, and what they left behind, including the fact that Max is a king, Michael is his first in command, and Isabel betrays her brother's throne. Did I mention that Max has a queen, Tess, who also comes to Earth as a hybrid? With her arrival, and a host of other dramatic situations, the viewer is left on the edge of their seat trying to see what happens between Max and Liz, the new alien, and everything else the crew goes through.

Answer: A video of Isabel using her powers to move objects rapidly above her in her room.

On top of the fact that Max's father is questioning him to find out his true identity, and Isabel's relationship with her new husband Jesse is on the rocks because of her alien identity, Tess shows up with her and Max's baby which happens to be 100% human! And let's not forget Isabel's mother has recorded her using her powers in her childhood bedroom! I guess they had no choice but to flee.

Answer: He revealed no powers during those seasons. He was just a scientist.

As we know, Sylar is the character who during season 1 has the power to take other people's abilities through murder. As far as the Shanti Virus, the injectable serum that takes away people's abilities, Mohinder Suresh, the leader behind the research to find people with abilities, creates an antivirus during season 2.

As we see at the end of season 2, Sylar has injected the antivirus, and regains his abilities after losing them during the beginning of season.

Answer: "Phil of the Future"

If you never watched it, "Phil of the Future" is a funny little show that comes on the Disney Channel here and there. As previously described, the plot is centered on a teenage boy and his family who travel to the 21st century on vacation but get stuck in the time zone because an essential part of their time-traveling RV has malfunctioned.

While Phil's father spends all his days trying to fix the RV so they can go back to their century, Phil's mother is fascinated by the "primitive" ways of the 21st century, and spends her time doing things like cooking and cleaning without her futuristic devices. Meantime, Phil's sister loves using her futuristic devices to make life a living hell for her fellow classmates and her brother Phil, and Phil is just trying to keep his family from being discovered as "different", while appearing to be normal teenager. Great comedy.

Answer: Milton Fine

James Marsters, aka Milton Fine, emerged during season 5 of "Smallville" as one of Clark's professors. Initially, he seemed like an ally of Clark's, warning him about projects being conducted by Lex, and overall seeming as a true friend. But the truth is Milton Fine is the Brain InterActive Construct, an artificial Kryptonian intelligence. We see that he has reemerged during the season 7, and he is very much up to no good.

Answer: On her internet website she called, "So Weird".

This show was great because it was different from anything that was on the Disney Channel; there were dramatic plots that mirrored shows like "X-Files", and the show's cast was made up of teens, which allowed the show not to get too serious. However, the show took a sad turn when they replaced the main character Fiona, a character who obviously had a passion for the "dark side", with a cookie-cutter character named Annie, who cared more about being a musician than discovering those things that bumped in the night. Of course after that I wasn't a big fan, and neither were a lot of other people-the show went off the air not too long after the switch.

10. On the show, "Are You Afraid of the Dark", a group of kids sat around telling each other horror stories. What was the usual setting for them to try and freak one another out?

Answer: Around a campfire.

Remembering the days of ol' when Nickelodeon was super cool, and SNICK featured shows like "All That", "Kenan & Kel", and of course, "Are You Afraid of the Dark". "Are You Afraid of the Dark" was a "Tales From the Crypt" for kids and young adults, not scary enough to make you have nightmares (like the scary host from "Tales From the Crypt" did for me), but not silly enough to make you turn the channel from boredom.

It was a great show and was followed by other shows like "Goosebumps". Overall kids had great T.V. back then.
