TV for the Heartless Trivia Quiz

Answer: Heartbeat

The show was an adaptation of Peter Walker's (pen-name Nicholas Rhea) "Constable" series of books, primarily as an opportunity to cash in on the popularity that Nick Berry had attained on the soap opera 'EastEnders'. Berry also sings the show's theme song, a reworking of Buddy Holly's 'Heartbeat'.

Answer: Reba

The programme ran for six seasons from 2001 to 2007 and centers on Reba's relationship with her family, her ex-husband Brock (played by Christopher Rich) and his new wife Barbara Jean (Melissa Peterman). Country singer Reba McIntire plays the lead role as well as singing the show's theme song "I'm a Survivor".

Answer: Sanford and Son

Red Foxx portrayed 65 year old scrap dealer Fred Sanford in the series that first aired in January 1972. Sarcastic and manipulative, Fred would regularly endeavour to get his way using the heart attack ruse (it never worked) or his back-up plan, the 'arthur-itis'.

The phrase has been regularly imitated and used as the source of spoof and satire. Some may recall Donkey, in 'Shrek 2' (2004), drinking a potion, crying out "I'm coming Elizabeth" and promptly fainting.

Answer: Ally McBeal

David E. Kelley created this legal comedy-drama that went to air in 1997. Calista Flockhart played the lead role, and title character, Ally, a lawyer working for Cage and Fish, a fictional Boston law firm. Vonda Shepard served as the show's musical composer and performed the theme song, 'Searchin' My Soul'.

She also features regularly in the show, portraying a piano player in the bar that is frequented by the firm's lawyers.

Kimberley was one the original five Power Rangers to be selected by Zordon and was blessed with the Pterodactyl Power Coin and Pterodactyl Dinozord.

Answer: Nine to Five

Peter took on the role made notable by Dabney Coleman in the movie, though he only managed to retain the role for a year. Peter is probably best known as the off-beat orthodontist in the highly rated 'Bob Newhart Show'.

Jericho is a fictional town in rural Kansas that becomes isolated after nuclear attacks, followed by an EMP (electromagnetic pulse), destroy cities and communication facilities. Hartford's destruction is indicated in episodes 13 (Black Jack), 14 (Heart of Winter) and 18 (A.K.A.) by virtue of pins stuck in various maps.

Answer: Hart to Hart

Originally, the show's creator, Sidney Sheldon, had intended that the Harts be spies in their lives away from their professions. This was scrapped when the script was handed to Tom Mankiewicz for a re-vamp. Mankiewicz had previously written the scripts for three of the films in the James Bond franchise - Diamonds Are Forever (1971), Live and Let Die (1973) and The Man With the Golden Gun (1974).

Answer: The Lone Ranger

The audience did not respond well to Hart's portrayal of the Lone Ranger so the studio returned to Moore to reprise the role. Hart, however, was not done with the Lone Ranger. He and Jay Silverheels (Tonto) camped up their roles in the 1970 film 'The Phynx'.

In an episode of 'Happy Days' (Hi Yo, Fonzie Away - February, 1982) Fonzie meets the Lone Ranger (John Hart) whom he admits is his childhood hero. Hart's final movie appearance was as a newspaper editor in the 1981 film version of 'The Legend of The Lone Ranger'.
