Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. This drama featured music by Jan Hammer, Phil Collins, Chaka Khan, Glenn Frye, Don Henley, Sheena Easton, Mitch Ryder, James Brown, and Tina Turner, just to name a few. And that's right, I did say it was a drama, not a variety or musical show. It was produced by Michael Mann and was on NBC in the 80's. The name of the show is?
2. Imagine a man who looked like he stuck his finger in light socket, a giant rat, and a petite, squeaky girl all trying to teach you something. At first you might think it was just for kids, but it wasn't. They made learning science fun and interesting, and conducted experiments that could be done at home. What in the world was the name of this show?
3. Ok, think animated animal friends from the '50s and '60s. Now add the fact that it was a cartoon for kids but the puns, satire, and double entendres had adults watching too. Now think about a machine that took you back in time to relive historic events or retold fables and fairy tales with a modern twist. What show were those animated buddies on?
4. This game show premiered as a daytime show and a nighttime show on the same day in 1987. There were two opposing teams, a speed round, and it would eventually become a popular home game. Put down the marker and give me the name of the show.
5. CBS ran this western from 1965 to 1969. It was fast paced, clever, and seemed to be written more in the style of Jules Verne rather than Zane Grey. Two agents traveled the U.S. on a train at the behest of President Ulysses S. Grant. Look in any direction to find the answer and tell me, what was the name of this way out western?
6. A comedy, a parody, a nighttime soap opera - no matter what you called it, it was original, ahead of its time and hilarious most of the time. This show was on ABC from 1977 to 1981. It dealt with subjects that up until then had not been discussed on TV. What was the name of this nighttime soap?

8. Canada was responsible for the production of this horror show. It was on TV from 1992 to 1996 and eventually migrated to the U.S. It was about an 800+ year old vampire with a conscience. His 'maker', the one that turned him, was the villain of the show. We don't have all night for you to decide what the name of this show was.
9. It's 1966, you just turned the TV to ABC and you're ready to watch an action war drama. You liked the four guys that were regulars each week.

A little mouse told me you really liked this show, so what was its name?
10. This comedy and musical show debuted in 1975. The format from week to week was basically the same. There was a core of 'regulars', at least one 'big name star', and a popular musical group or singer. OBTW (oh, by the way), the show continued to air well into the 21st century; can you name it?
