Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which year did "The Road Runner Show" make its US television debut?

Answer: 1966

In 1949, Road Runner and Wile E. appeared in their first Looney Tunes cartoon titled "Fast and Furryous". They didn't get their own TV show until 1966.

Although the show ended in the 1970s, I remember it being back on TV in the early '90s. It was always one of my favourite cartoons.

2. Wile E.'s most elaborate trick, which almost resulted in Road Runner's capture, involved a lightning pole being disguised as what?

Answer: another road runner

Our Road Runner is male so, to get his attention, Wile E. disguised the lightning pole as a female Road Runner. The whole idea was for Road Runner to stand close enough to the pole to be electrocuted.

Unfortunately, Wile E. ended up being the one who got zapped.

3. What colour were Wile E.'s eyes?

Answer: pale yellow

They were the same colour as the desert sand.

4. How did Wile E. and Road Runner communicate with viewers?

Answer: hand-held signs

Whenever Wile E. or Road Runner wanted to communicate with viewers, they held up a wooden sign displaying whatever they wanted to say.

In some of Wile E.'s earliest episodes, he could talk.

5. In the show's theme song, what was Wile E. described as being?

Answer: a crazy clown

Wile E. liked to describe himself as being a genius, however, the theme song described him as being a crazy clown.

6. What colour were Road Runner's feathers?

Answer: blue

The feathers on his body and tail were light blue while those on his wings and head were dark blue.

7. What was Road Runner's trademark sound?

Answer: "Beep Beep!"

This was the only sound that Road Runner ever made.

8. What was Wile E.'s most common trick for trying to catch Road Runner?

Answer: a pile of food

A pile of bird seed with a 'Free Food!' sign was usually left under one of Wile E's many hand-made contraptions. Unfortunately for Wile E., this trick never worked. Road Runner would eat the bird seed too quickly for the contraption to be activated.

9. There are some episodes where Road Runner is seen watching Wile E. set up a trap.

Answer: True

Road Runner seemed to enjoy taunting Wile E. and, on some occasions, even played a few tricks of his own.

10. From which company did Wile E. purchase the contraptions he used?

Answer: Acme

Unfortunately the contraptions, which included a box of exploding tennis balls, rarely ever worked properly.
