I'll Do It! Quiz | Name The Show

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Sian slips into the garage, seemingly nothing more than a shadow, and runs one finger along the car's curtained window. She stills as, from somewhere nearby, she hears Eddie say "I took Spot out last night." "I know, Eddie," Marilyn says, "everyone in Mockingbird Heights heard you." Which television program is Sian burgling?

Answer: The Munsters

"The Munsters" debuted in September, 1964, and ran for two seasons. A half-hour sitcom, the show portrayed both everyday and ludicrous situations that could beset either an everyday family, or a very monstrous family. Starring Fred Gwynn, Al Lewis, Yvonne De Carlo and Butch Patrick, the 'odd' niece Marilyn was portrayed by two different actresses - Beverley Owen and Pat Priest. There were two cars custom made for the show.

The car seen on most episodes was the "Munster Koach", a hot rod built on a lengthened 1926 Ford Model T with a customized hearse body. And there was the "DRAG-U-LA", built from a coffin, which Grandpa drove in a drag race.

2. Once inside the gates of Robin's Nest, Sian creeps between the lush tropical foliage, until she can see the Ferrari she's come to steal. "T.C.!" Higgins calls, "Where are Zeus and Apollo?" Sian decides she had best hurry as she steals a car from which television show?

Answer: Magnum, P.I.

Running for eight seasons, "Magnum P.I." premiered on December 11th. 1980. The show was based on the exploits of Thomas Magnum, a private investigator in Hawaii. While living in the guest house of Robin Masters' beachfront estate, Magnum was often beset by the guard dogs - Zeus and Apollo - and forced to bargain with the majordomo of the estate - Jonathan Higgins III. The series starred Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, Roger E. Mosley and Larry Manetti.
While a few different cars were used during the eight seasons, the primary car Magnum 'borrowed' was a Ferrari 308GTS.

3. Sian sidles into the open garage, then stills, letting her eyes become accustomed to the darkness. Slowly the orange Dodge Charger comes into view. Unfortunately, so does Uncle Jesse, crossing the yard and talking to the basset hound that is following him. "Dag nabit Flash!" he says, "I'm gonna give that Rosco P. Coltrane a piece of my mind!" As they disappear from sight, Sian goes back to stealing the famous car from which television show?

Answer: The Dukes of Hazzard

"The Dukes of Hazzard" debuted in 1979, and ran until 1985. Inspired by the 1975 film "Moonrunners", the show follows the escapades of a rural Georgia family, and their interactions with corrupt officials and various criminals. Starring Tom Wopat, John Schneider, Catherine Bach and Denver Pyle, the series boasted numerous guest stars, including Mel Tillis, Roy Orbison and Tammy Wynette.
The General Lee was a 1969 Dodge Charger with a Confederate flag painted on the roof. There were approximately 309 Chargers used throughout the filming of the show.

4. Sian bites back a yelp as she stubs her toe on a bit of bedrock. Unsure why anyone would want a car without windows or engine, she eases herself into the seat, then sinks down low as she hears voices. "I'm telling you that the Great Gazoo really made her disappear!" Barney says. "Hoppy saw it too! Mrs. Slaghoople just went 'poof', gone just like that!" Sure the voices are coming from inside the house, Sian starts pushing with her feet, stealing which show's cartoon car?

Answer: The Flintstones

Produced by Hanna-Barbera, "The Flintstones" ran from September of 1960 until April of 1966. The series placed emphasis on regular working class everyday life set in the stone age, and there was also a comparison to "The Honeymooners". The voice stars included Alan Reed, Jean Vander Pyl, Mel Blanc, Bea Benaderet and Gerry Johnson.
And, while the series did not premier to rave reviews, it spawned a number of other productions, and remains popular in reruns even into 2012.

5. Sian shakes her head in disgust. "It's not a Sunbeam Tiger - it's an Alpine," she whispers to herself as she examines the ejection seat. She stills when a voice outside says "Hymie, I need my shoe back!" There's a brief scuffling sound, then Hymie says, "Max, the Chief said I had to call him in one hour." Sian is stealing the customized car from which television program?

Answer: Get Smart

A satire of the spy genre, the sitcom "Get Smart" aired originally from 1965 until 1970. The series was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, and Brooks said "It's an insane combination of James Bond and Mel Brooks comedy." Maxwell Smart was an inept bungler, with his goals and hopes always larger than his capabilities. Yet, with the support of his fellow spies, evil was always thwarted. Starring Don Adams, Barbara Feldon, Bernie Kopell and Edward Platt, there were also a number of notable guest stars, including Bob Hope and Vincent Price. While Maxwell Smart drove a number of cars throughout the series, he usually drove a Sunbeam Alpine which had been customized to resemble a Sunbeam Tiger two-seat roadster.

6. The Miami heat is wilting Sian as she sneaks into the alley, but she forgets that as she spots the car - a black '73 Dodge Charger. Crouching low, she keeps the brick wall at her back, but freezes in place when voices drift out the open window above her. "Sam, he'll be back in a minute." "Listen Fi," Sam says, sounding desperate, "we have to talk Michael out of this. He'll get killed." Sian decides to wait a bit before stealing which television show's car?

Answer: Burn Notice

"Burn Notice" premiered in June of 2007, and is still in production as of 2012. The story is based on a CIA contract-agent who has been 'burned' (dismissed), and his ongoing search into why, and how to reverse his dismissal. With each episode, however, he uses his unique talents to help someone else with whatever seemingly insurmountable problem they are facing. Starring Jeffrey Donovan, Gabrielle Anwar, Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless, the series has a permanent set located in Miami's Coconut Grove. The 1973 Dodge Charger that Michael drives - and seems to damage or wreck almost weekly - was an inheritance from his father.

7. A light rain is falling as Sian makes her way through the city. Wishing she had thought to bring a cape, it takes her a long wet while to get through the hidden entrance to the Lincoln Futura concept car. Sighing with pleasure as she eyes the one-of-a-kind car, she takes a step toward it, then dives beneath a bench as she hears footsteps approaching. "Aunt Harriet said that the benefit is tonight," Dick says. "Yes it is," Bruce replies, "and can I say, I expect it will be purrfect." Sian waits for the voices to dwindle away before sliding out from beneath the bench to steal which show's car?

Answer: Batman

"Batman" ran from January of 1966 through March of 1968. Based on the DC comic, the show was run in a serial format, with the beginning of each episode resolving the 'cliffhanger' of the episode which preceded it. Starring Adam West, Burt Ward, Alan Napier and Neil Hamilton on the side of law and order, Cesar Romero, Burgess Meredith, Frank Gorshin and Julie Newmar portrayed just a few of the villains. The Batmobile was a 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car, customized for the television show. The vehicle had several supposedly functional gadgets, including the Bat Smoke Screen and the Bat-tering Ram.

8. Sian stares at Black Beauty, entranced by the car's sleek lines. She is distracted, so much so that she barely hears the voices on the other side of the wall. "Kato, I need to go back to the Daily Sentinel," Britt says. "Now, Mr. Reid?" "No, I'm going to phone Casey first." Sian shakes off her distractedness and slips into the car she is stealing from which television program?

Answer: The Green Hornet

"The Green Hornet" ran for only 26 episodes, from September 1966 to March 1967. The character originated as a radio vigilante in 1936, and was then adapted to serials, comic books and other media. The Green Hornet and Kato had a setup similar to Batman and Robin - dual identities in a crime-fighting scenario. The series starred Van Williams as The Green Hornet, and Bruce Lee as Kato. Lee's popularity in Hong Kong resulted in the show being marketed there as "The Kato Show".
Black Beauty was a customized 1966 Imperial Crown sedan, and two of the cars were built for the show.

9. 'This is going to be tricky,' Sian thinks as she sneaks into the garage. Holding her breath, she wraps her fingers around the car's door handle and tugs it open. "Michael!" The call comes from inside the empty car, sounding alarmed. "Michael! Is that you? Or Devon? Bonnie?" Sian slides into the seat and tries to calm the car she's stealing from which television show?

Answer: Knight Rider

The original "Knight Rider" series premiered in September of 1982, and ran for four seasons. 'KITT' and Michael fought crime on a weekly basis, with help from members of FLAG - the Foundation for Law and Government, a Knight Industries-funded organization. The series starred David Hasselhoff, Edward Mulhare, Patricia McPherson - and William Daniels as KITT's voice.
KITT was a customized 1982 Pontiac Trans-Am sports model.
And, due to the popularity of the original series, several spinoffs and sequels were made.

10. The yellow Mercedes Benz coupe in front of Sian is still warm, the engine ticking. Sian, hidden in a corner, can hear the couple walking away. "But Jonathan, Freeway must have missed us." "Don't worry," Johnathan replies, "Max will have taken care of him." When the voices are too far away to hear, Sian proceeds to steal the car from which television show?

Answer: Hart to Hart

Running from 1979 to 1984, "Hart to Hart" featured the exploits of Jonathan and Jennifer Hart - a wealthy couple who managed to become embroiled in theft, espionage and/or murder on a weekly basis. With the help of their gruff yet likeable manservant, Max, and their dog named Freeway, they solved cases that ran the gamut of criminal ingenuity. The series starred Robert Wagner, Stephanie Powers and Lionel Stander. After the series ended, a number of telemovies were made.
In addition to the Mercedes Benz coupe, a Rolls Royce convertible was featured on the show.
