TV Grab Bag Trivia Questions

1. "Doctor Who" and "Dad's Army" were two classic British shows that were first broadcast in the same decade. In which decade were they first on screen?

From Quiz
FunTrivia Television Mix: Vol 19

Answer: 1960s

"Doctor Who", a science fiction show about a time-travelling alien, began in 1963 and continued to be on TV regularly until 1989 when the series was cancelled. Then, in 2005, a new production team brought it back to life and the show was still going strong a decade later. "Dad's Army" was about a village and their Home Guard during World War II. It was broadcast between 1968 and 1977.

Question by player AcrylicInk

2. Which Hanna Barbera animated TV show features the incidental characters; Mr. Slate, boss of a stone quarry, Joe Rockhead a friend, and Sam Slagheap a Grand Poobah of the Water Buffalo Lodge?

From Quiz FunTrivia Television Mix: Vol 18

Answer: The Flintstones

"The Flintstones" was first broadcast on ABC in September 1960, and surprisingly only appeared on TV screens for around six years (not including repeats) and just 166 episodes. There was also a number of specials and TV movies featuring the English speaking world's favourite cavemen and women, Fred, Barney, Wilma and Betty. The incidental characters mentioned are wonderful oddballs: Mr Slate, Fred and Barney's grouchy boss, Joe Rockhead, Fred's buddy with whom he goes to watch baseball and Sam Slagheap the pompous leader of Fred's secret society the Water Buffalos. My personal favourite however, is Wilma's mother, the ever antagonistic but wonderfully named Pearl Slaghoople!

28. Andy Griffith is well-known for being either a sheriff ("The Andy Griffith Show") or a lawyer ("Matlock") on TV, but he has also played a junkman, too. What was the name of that short-lived show?

From Quiz I'd Almost Forgotten About These TV Shows

Answer: "Salvage 1"

Premiering as a 'made-for-television' movie in January, 1979, "Salvage 1" became a series that lasted from January 20, 1979 until November 11, 1979. The show centered around junkman Harry Broderick (Andy Griffith), whose dream it was to build a rocketship and go to the moon to recover the scrap metal left there by the previous lunar landings. Broderick realizes this dream early on and goes on to have other adventures throughout the rest of the series' run. Joel Higgings, who went on to star in "Silver Spoons" as Edward W. Stratton III, played Addison 'Skip' Carmichael, a former astronaut and Broderick's son-in-law, on the show.

29. What popular comic strip was "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" obviously based on?

From Quiz Great TV of the Last 20 Years

Answer: Archie

The parallels ought to be obvious: Parker=Archie, Mikey=Jughead...The BIG giveaway, besides Parker/Archie is Jerry, who is a dead ringer for Dilton Doily, as well as Kubiak=Big Moose, Lemmer=Reggie/Miss Grundy and Grace Musso=Veronica. Annie had to be good old, regular girl Betty Cooper, the girl who always pined for Archie, but had to watch him date spoiled, temperamental Veronica Lodge. This was, for my money, perhaps the cleverest show about teenagers since "Dobie Gillis", a show it owes a lot to, to appear on American TV. Even "Dobie", however, owes a lot to good ol' Arch!
