Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Mixture: Classics : Old Television Series on DVD Part 3

Introduction:
"Watching the great old television series on DVD has become a favourite pastime around my house. It's amazing just how many of the old series are available now. Join me in a walk down Memory Lane!"


1. Teenage life in the 50s, and all its idiosyncrasies, was explored in this television series. Of course no such show would be complete without a hard-working father, quirky but lovable mother and the coolest, motorcycle-riding greaser you could ever hope to meet. What popular show, where everyone hung out at Arnold’s, was this?
    My Family
    Happy Days
    Lavern and Shirley
    Leave it to Beaver


2. This sitcom played on the culture shock of taking a simple, backwoods family, making them rich and transplanting them into a wealthy but snotty community. The old adage about not being able to take the girl out of the country was played to the hilt, as the young and beautiful daughter gathered her critters around her. Which knee slapping comedy was this?
    Green Acres
    The Beverly Hillbillies
    The Addams Family
    My Family


3. This series examined life in a simpler time, before electricity and the alienation that’s inherent in large cities. Family values and a sense of community had real meaning back then, especially for three sisters finding their way through life. What was the name of this show, which was told through the recollections of one of the daughters?
    Little House on the Prairie
    Here Come the Brides
    Anne of Green Gables
    Bonanza

    Answer: (One Word)


5. This series watched the antics of a mismatched group from a tour boat that shipwrecked in a storm. Their efforts to build a comfortable life, while devising a way to get off the island, provided the fodder for some good laughs. What series showed us what could go wrong when a storm hit during a three hour tour?
    Gilligan's Planet
    McHale's Navy
    Gilligan's Island
    Dusty's Trail


6. This series followed the adventures of three beautiful private investigators, who found that regular police work wasn’t very stimulating, because of the types of assignments they received. Instead they accepted work in a private agency. What show was this, where we never actually met the girls’ boss?
    Murder She Wrote
    Moonlighting
    Law and Order
    Charlie's Angels
