Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Some say that breaking up is hard to do. It seems to be less hard when your spinning off into your own vampire detective series! "Angel" began in 2000 and brought along Sunnydale residents Cordelia and Wesley. Their mission was to "help the helpless" all while fighting the deep demonic pockets of the evil law firm Wolfram & Hart. From which series did "Angel" originate?
2. And the Emmy should go to...Tatiana Maslany! Throw a bone to a clone already! She played no less than five different versions of herself in the first two seasons of this BBC America hit drama. Filmed largely in Canada, what's the name of this clone show about Sarah, Beth, Alison, Cosima, and Helena?
3. Which ABC hit show would this little poem describe best?
"I jump though hoops to fix their 'oops'. I lie and scheme and steal. I love a married man, and my father is a heel. I made a Quinn and I made a Huck, my mother's a traitor (just my luck). My life's unreal. I cannot cope. Why do I survive? Because I'm Olivia Pope."
4. I was a 1980s era spin-off set at Hillman College that catered to classrooms the size you'd find in an elementary school. I had a campus where people could just appear in ROTC, winning sports teams, and the most popular people were on an academic team contest. Perhaps my most intriguing storyline was the will they/won't they love story of Dwayne and Whitley, and my initial claim to fame was being linked to "The Cosby Show". Which spin-off was I?
5. Five ways to describe this show- FX original series; bikers; Charming, California; SAMCRO; Jax Teller. Which series is this that premiered in 2008?
6. Originally set in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, this show was about a wealthy Texas family who were oil dealers. I say 'dealer' because JR ran the show, when he could, much like a leader of a drug cartel. When he wasn't able to run Ewing Oil with autonomy, he was busy womanizing, stealing, lying, and scamming his brothers Bobby, Ray and Gary. What's the name of the series that was later rebooted on TNT in 2012?
7. My name is Rick Grimes, and I woke up inside a comic book created by Robert Kirkman. Only, everything looked like real life. At the start, I was scared and alone. When I met a man named Morgan, he helped me out and I made my way through Atlanta. There, a young man name Glenn saved my life and led me to my wife and son. In the wasteland of walkers I became a father again, killed my best friend, lost my wife, and watched my son become a man. I was the leader, most of the time, for my group of survivors. Now, I've heard there may be another group surviving in Los Angeles.
Which AMC Network series did the character above describe?
8. Nine long seasons with Ted on the case. Barney, legen "wait for it" dary, with the chase. Marshall and Lily, and the apartment shared by all. The delightful Robin Sparkles singing in the mall. Eccentric parents and MacLaren's Pub down below. A love story to New York City, as we know. A group of pals like no other, the name of this show was "How I Met Your _______."
9. Picture it... an epic tale of warriors, thieves, con artists, royalty, and beasts of all nature. It's a fantasy world where the prize is an iron throne, and the reigning royalty was sired by twins. Created by George R.R. Martin and brought to life on HBO, what series showed us that the strong survive, hypocrisy is of the highest order, and family will not keep you safe? And, by the way, never forget that "winter is coming".
10. "So no one told you life was gonna be this way. Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A..."
The opening lines of the theme song to this popular show became stuck in the heads of Americans for ten seasons. In which sitcom did we learn to root for Rachel, laugh at Chandler, feel sorry for Ross, and shake our heads at Phoebe?
11. A pirate, a cop, and an FBI agent walk into a bar in Maine. The cop and pirate fall in love with the FBI agent, even though she is the cause of their "troubles". The pirate buys the bar and reforms, the cop loses his job to a former WWE wrestler, and the FBI agent turns evil, at least temporarily.
Which series, named after a town, is also based on a Stephen King story called "The Colorado Kid"?
12. Name this show, based on the following clues:
Once upon a time there was a domestic goddess. She ruled her kingdom with humor and truth. Her husband Dan was not the king, nor her daughters princesses. She worked with plastics, hair, food, and magazine sales. She had two sons, an extremely quirky mother named Bev, a cheating father, a neurotic sister, and a best friend with a misplaced southern accent. She spent an entire finale season in a fantasy induced state where they'd all won the lottery, and in the end revealed the entire series was written as per her imagination.
13. It all started with a plane crash...
An instant hit for creator J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, this series spun an intricate web of characters. The stories were expertly interlaced both in real life and in limbo. The survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 faced your usual post crash worries- food, water, and shelter. Then, there were also polar bears running lose, mysterious and deadly black smoke that sounded like a machine, a sealed hatch, and creepy "inhabitants" who stole people.
Which ABC hit drama was this that starred Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway, Terry O'Quinn, and Evangeline Lilly?
14. When I talk about this series being a favorite, I'm always referring to just the first four seasons. It debuted when I was still in high-school (1990) and was about kids my age. Of course, these kids lived in an affluent section of California. In which series could you find twins from Minnesota, a rich blonde who'd had a nose job before her sophomore year, her naive best friend born on Christmas day, an arrogant jock who drove a Corvette, and a nerdy school DJ whose best friend accidentally killed himself?
15. Being a teenaged detective is never easy. Just ask Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, or the Scooby gang. There's unscrupulous law enforcement, biker gangs, classist high school rivalries, and then there's being drugged and having your best friend murdered. Nothing like an unsolved friend murder to get a girl on the case. Of course, in order to solve a mystery like who killed Lilly Kane, you have to enlist the help of your father, your best friend Wallace, the local thug you trust (Eli), and Lilly's suspicious (and rich) boyfriend Logan.
Which show spent three seasons following around a beautiful young detective played by Kristen Bell?
