Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Four aliens come to survey life on Earth. The problem is, they are trying to be 'normal'.

Answer: "Third Rock From The Sun"

"Third Rock From the Sun" was prominent during the late 20th and early 21st century, and was memorable for its depiction of Earth as the least important planet and for its characters' eccentricity compared to human standards. It parodied and otherwise misinterpreted the media's fascination with alien encounters and surveys and the like.
2. An architect begins a long story to his children spanning many years chronicling his love life and his friends.

Answer: "How I Met Your Mother"

In my opinion one of the better sitcoms of the 00's, but only because it uses storylines well - some sitcoms would have two unrelated storylines, but this one has them interlocking in ridiculous coincidences. It sets out the dates of what happens, unlike other sitcoms, and is shot with more cuts between shots compared to other sitcoms.

It also has large amounts of continuity between episodes and very linear storylines, with few fillers.
3. A show about the lives of students and doctors at a teaching hospital.

Answer: "Scrubs"

"Scrubs" has lasted 8 seasons, but has a spin-off airing around 2009, called "Scrubs: Interns". It revolves around the underqualified antics of hospital workers and the fact that they are very inexperienced. It was among the 90's sitcoms that did without laugh tracks.
4. A group of locals meet and drink at a bar where everybody knows their names.

Answer: "Cheers"

"Cheers" was highly successful and highly parodied show, which has also spawned another award-winning sitcom, "Frasier". It ran eleven seasons, spanning 11 years, despite having the lowest rating pilot (77th out of 77 shows).
5. A mockumentary about people working in an office.

Answer: "The Office"

Congrats if you guessed the answer, it must have been hard to do so! "The Office" varies between sitcoms as it does not have a very strong main plot and deals without a laugh track. It is filmed in the form of a documentary, with actors acknowledging the presence of the camera. The show was originally filmed in the UK and a version was later created in the US.
6. A very old sitcom starting in 1951, about a woman in married life who tries to be in show business despite not having any marketable talents.

Answer: "I Love Lucy"

"I Love Lucy" was one of the first and most iconic sitcoms. It was rather new in style in its context, but established traditions that are still used by sitcoms today, such as the three-camera format and the studio audience. It was also usually filmed in sequence, instead of filming all scenes in one set together.
7. A sports reporter desperately tries to endure his family while making life as funny as possible.

Answer: "Everybody Loves Raymond"

Easily one of the better sitcoms of the 21st century sitcoms, it involved a dramatization of real life situations and family of comedian, Ray Romano, lasting nine seasons. The many stories and characters were based around actual events in Ray's life.
8. A sitcom about a medical base during the Korean War - the perfect place for humour, isn't it!

Answer: "M*A*S*H"

A series of events surrounding the 4077th Medical Base and Hawkeye Pierce, a doctor there. It originally was a spin-off of a film, but expanded into an 11 season show spanning ten years. Starting out funny and ending much more seriously, the show has enjoyed much parodying in the next few decades to come. Also mentioned was "Blackadder", a great show too, that I recommend.
9. Six people talk about things at a cafe.

Answer: "Friends"

Despite my description, "Friends" was one of the most iconic sitcoms to date, spanning 11 seasons. Although it was not as great in its earlier days, "Friends" has snowballed into a great show that gathered 52.5 million people to watch the finale. Oddly enough, all but two episodes start with "The one", followed by a simple preposition.
10. A show about nothing. Haven't got it? Well, no soup for you, yada yada yada. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Answer: "Seinfeld"

If you didn't get the "Seinlanguage" then you definitely haven't watched one of the greatest shows ever. It didn't quite revolve around much aside from the daily events of the main characters, hence the show about nothing. It has earned acclaim as one of the best sitcoms of the 20th century, like "Friends".
