Question by player lykita

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.

Question by player ghosttowner

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.

Question by player sb22705

Answer: barbering

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

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

When you hear the tootin' of the whistle
It's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball Express."
