Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This iconic TV character was first brought to the American consciousness in the late 1970s on a series about a small time oil company in Texas. The oft times morally bankrupt eldest brother of the Ewing clan set out to make money and destroy his competition, almost destroying himself in the process. Which Ewing brother was the no holds barred, snake in the grass, take no prisoners eldest son of Jock Ewing on "Dallas"?
2. American audiences were introduced to the very definition of nature versus nurture when this eponymous cable TV character premiered in 2006. In an unusual, never before seen twist, our protagonist was also the epitome of an antagonist as a serial killer who killed other murderers! The character and series were based on novels by Jeff Lindsey, and both genres explored the evolution of darkness. Played expertly by Michael C. Hall, who became the killer that Showtime viewers couldn't help but to cheer for?
3. Brought forth from mediocrity, and barely mourned, vile and soulless, a bro-mance was formed. In the late 1990s, and created from the marvelous mind of Joss Whedon, vampire fans world wide reveled and reviled as they watched these two morally questionable demons plaguing and playing with Buffy Summers. Who was this pair who fell for the same gal, shared a derivation of the same human name and all the while falling into an entertaining love/hate bro-mance of their very own?
4. Rocking back into Mystic Falls with an "I'll eat who I wanna eat" attitude, this bad boy was the first to meet the doppelganger. He believed to have run into the selfish vampire skank who'd made him, Katherine. He was pleasantly surprised to find Elena Gilbert instead. Exquisitely selfish to his core, which vampire on "The Vampires Diaries" allowed his own manipulation to possibly cost him everything on that very night?
5. Malignant and wicked, or are they the same? It was in Denver where this devious diva played her game. She arrived in the second season, blasting like a pistol, where she tormented and tortured her rival Krystal. Who was this devilishly smart first wife of Blake Carrington, played by the ingenious Joan Collins?
6. Many tales of the morally ambiguous are rooted deeply in the bowels of jealousy and self loathing. In one small town called Tree Hill, audiences witnessed the ongoing moral and emotional decay of a man who fathered two amazing young men with two different women. Lucas and Nathan watched their father try to rationalize and defend actions like greed, lying, infidelity, abandonment, and finally murder. Who was this once loved, then shunned, Tree Hill citizen who did redeem himself before his death?
7. She was a man stealing, con-artist retrieving, pot smoking demon child that arrived at the Walsh residence for the fifth season of "Beverly Hills, 90210".

8. Lying, cheating, killing, stealing, about these, he's all but willing.
In my years of watching television, this may be the character that showed me the most believable acts of duplicity and mayhem. As leader of an LAPD strike team working out of the Barn in Farmington, he made no secret of what he was capable of when he murdered one of his own partners in the very first episode. Played expertly by Michael Chiklis, who led his core team of Shane, Lem, and Ronnie on LA's mean streets?
9. Having your show air on HBO had its allowance, and he may have lived in the Garden State, but his world was no kind of paradise. In six seasons, viewers were able to love and hate this pro/antagonist as he made all the big decisions for his "family". Who made money, who earned money, which woman was worthy of his affections, how much cash to impart on his household, which man his daughter should date, who lived, who died, who went to prison, who got away with disobedience and who was whacked for the same. During his time on "The Sopranos", we were able to feel Tony's constant battle with morality as he dumped his emotional bile on his psychiatrist. Who was that doctor that aided the corrupt crime boss, as he confessed, flirted and sent veiled threats her way?
10. Using an alias, or two, or three, can sometimes work, but it didn't with he. He infiltrated the crash survivors under the name Henry Gale, which wasn't the truth, and barely any of his tale. He needed a neurosurgeon, and Jack would do, so he arranged to take him, along with the other two. Jack saved his life, as he really had no choice. On "Lost", for who was it, that Michael Emerson gave a voice?
