Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In one episode of "Futurama", Fry gets a job working at the cryogenics lab where people get frozen and wake up in the future. He tells the guy working there that he knows what people want to hear after being frozen for so long. What, according to Fry, is it?

Answer: The bathroom is over there

"Futurama" was created by Matt Groening who is best well known for creating the hit show "The Simpsons". The premise of the show is simple, a loser named Fry accidentally gets frozen for 1000 years and wakes up in the year 3000. He spends most of his time working for a delivery service named Planet Express with a group of misfits including a lobster-like "doctor", a one eyed woman, and a senile old man who just happens to be Fry's great great ... nephew.
2. What cartoon featured a bumbling secret agent who was only able to solve his cases with the help of his dog and young niece?

Answer: Inspector Gadget

His niece Penny was the one who actually figured out what was going on while their dog Brain mainly stopped Gadget from getting killed (either by MAD agents or by his own ineptitude). Despite putting herself in danger time and again while unraveling the MAD plots, Penny never seemed to mind having her uncle take all of the credit.

The show resembled an older show, "Get Smart", which was a live action comedy featuring yet another bumbling secret agent.
3. In the show "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which was NOT a color worn by one of the turtles?

Answer: Green

Blue was worn by Leonardo, the unofficial leader of the group. Donatello was always seen wearing purple while Raphael and Michelangelo wore red and yellow respectively. The turtles used to be the pets of an old ninja master, Yoshi, who lived in the sewers.

When they were all exposed to a mutagen gel, the turtles turned part human and Yoshi transformed into a large rat before changing his name to Splinter.
4. "The Simpsons" had an episode where they hired a nanny which strangely resembled Mary Poppins. She even sang songs with the family with the same tune as the original "Mary Poppins" music. Which Poppins song was NOT used as the basis for a song in this "Simpsons" episode?

Answer: I Love to Laugh

One of the best episodes ever! The Simpson family decides they need to hire a nanny to help with the kids so a delightful British woman, Sherry Bobbins, flies into town on her umbrella and sings songs to the family. "I Love to Laugh" was actually parodied as a song by Patty and Selma and called "I Love to Smoke" but never made it into the show.

However you can still hear this un-aired version on one of the "Simpsons" soundtrack CD's and in the deleted scenes section of the DVD.
5. In the show "South Park", Eric Cartman seems to be the only kid in town without a father. One two-part episode has Eric trying to find his real father. Who is Eric's father?

Answer: Liane Cartman

Yes, Eric's mother is his biological father. In this episode, it is revealed that despite all of her sexual exploits, she is actually a hermaphrodite. So who is Eric's mother then? Mrs. Crabtree? Miss Chokesondick? Officer Barbrady? The world may never know!
6. In the show "Ducktales", Scrooge's prized possession is his lucky dime. How did he first get it?

Answer: It was a reward from an engineer for a job well done

He kept the rest of his money in the "money bin" next to his house that looks like a grain silo converted into a safe. He keeps it there so he can enjoy his favorite pastime, swimming in all of his money. I never understood why the bad guys were always after that specific coin but he always kept it safe with the help of his three nephews: Huey, Dewey, and Louie.
7. After you finished watching an episode of the original "GI Joe" (from the late 80's & early 90's), there was usually a short 'educational' segment which attempted to teach something to the kids watching. What catch phrase would the clip always end with?

Answer: And knowing is half the battle

They also had the same thing on "Transformers". The stars of the show would teach children why they shouldn't get in a car with strangers or how to deal with bullies. I never actually learned anything from these clips but it did create a line so memorable that I still hear people repeat over 20 years later.
8. In the classic "Looney Toons" series, Bugs Bunny was paired up with several characters in the different shorts. Which of the following characters was Bugs never pitted against?

Answer: Pepe le Pew

Other characters who faced off against Bugs include Yosemity Sam, The Mad Scientist, and of course, Elmer Fudd. Looney Toons featured a wide variety of memorable characters. Some toons usually featured the same characters paired up together: Sylvester and Tweety, Pepe le Pew and the cat, and my personal favorite, Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner.

However, Bugs Bunny made his appearance across from several other stars and was always able to get the upper hand using his wits, and a supply of carrots.
9. One of my favorite cartoons was actually a spin off of another classic cartoon. The interesting thing about the spin off was that you could finally understand what the characters were saying. What was the name of this show?

Answer: Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers

Yes ladies and gentlemen, we have yet another Disney-based cartoon series. The two troublesome chipmunks gained both a dialogue as well as clothes in this show. Actually, although you can't really understand what Chip and Dale are saying in their original cartoons, they do use real words when conversing with each other. I found this out after plying with the closed-captioning while watching an old DVD.
10. "Garfield and Friends" was a cartoon version of the newspaper comic "Garfield" by Jim Davis. However, the entire show did not always focus on the overweight feline. There was another cartoon that was shown in between the "Garfield" shorts which featured a cast of farm animals. What was this show-in-a-show called?

Answer: U.S. Acres

"Garfield" has always been my favorite comic strip and it made a great cartoon show as well. It really gave the viewers a sense of just how nerdy Jon is and why Garfield wants to send Nermal to Abu-Dhabi. "U.S. Acres" also started as a comic strip written by Davis which had all of the animals working on the farm and harvesting the crops.

There is some speculation that the farm is the same farm run by the rest of the Arbukle clan but nobody can say for sure because the farmer, often mentioned by the characters, was never shown.
