3. On "The Golden Girls" all the girls liked to tell stories. Pick which of these was a common catch phrase said by one of the girls.

Answer: "Back in St. Olaf..." - Rose

St. Olaf was a fictional Minnesota town where Rose was from. The residents of St. Olaf weren't the brightest in the bunch and through Rose's stories, they often found themselves in ridiculous situations involving herring or farm animals.

Answer: Arnold's brother

Willis and Arnold, two boys from Harlem, were adopted by Mr. Drummond after their mother, a maid of Drummond's, passed away.

Urkle's main show was "Family Matters" where he used his jet pack twice, to get from the Chicago house of the Winslows to San Francisco (for "Full House") and Port Washington, Wisconsin (for "Step-by-Step").

6. When Joey from "Friends" hit on a girl, which of the following was he most likely to say?

Answer: "How you doin'?"

Joey once, jokingly, used his catch-phrase on Phoebe who then proceeded to giggle like a school girl in love.

Joey had to control this phrase. When he was trying to NOT hit on a girl, he would often begin the phrase and stop midway through.

7. If you received a phone call from one of your best friends, and he told you to "Suit-up," what show would you be on?

Answer: How I Met Your Mother

Barney, played by Neil Patrick Harris, might also say that something is "legen... wait for it... dary". Barney believed that wearing a suit made him the man he became (as opposed to the hippy he was before he started wearing them).

8. Bart Simpson has had many catch phrases throughout the series "The Simpsons". Which one was not one of his catch phrases?

Answer: "Dynomite!"

Bart has also been known to say Homer's catch phrase, "D'oh!", on a number of occasions. Despite being a 10-year old boy, Bart is voiced by Nancy Cartwright. Cartwright has voiced Bart since his first television appearance in 1987 on "The Tracy Ullman Show".

"Is that your final answer" is the catch phrase for "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". "You're fired!" is Trump's catch phrase on "The Apprentice". "Come on down!" is announced as new contestants are selected to play "The Price Is Right".

10. If you just won something (be it a war or a blankie) and shouted "Victory is mine!" which "Family Guy" character would you be?

Answer: Stewie Griffin

Stewie's character changed throughout the series, and he became much softer and less of a megalomaniac. In the earlier seasons, the audience was aware of Stewie talking, but the family (save for Brian) seemed unable to understand him. This has changed as the series went on.
