Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What "Full House" star also played the lead character in the canceled show "Jake in Progress"?

Answer: John Stamos

Although "Jake in Progress" didn't have the best first season, the show was picked up by ABC for a second season. What's the catch? ABC placed the show right after the major flop "Emily's Reasons Why Not" which only aired one episode before being canceled. Likewise, "Jake in Progress" was also removed from the schedule before ABC announced it had been canceled in May 2006.
2. In the canceled "Friends" spin-off "Joey", which relative is prominently featured in the episodes?

Answer: His sister

Although "Friends" was canceled less than a year earlier, Matt LeBlanc returned and reprised his role as the ladies man, Joey Tribbiani in the NBC comedy "Joey". The show took Joey to Los Angeles where he moved in with his sister and nephew. After two seasons, "Joey" was canceled by NBC when it became the lowest-rated show on the four major networks.

It was pulled from the air and announced canceled by May 2006.
3. "Surface", one of the many shows that began in the 2005 fall season, was cut short before summer began. What was this show about?

Answer: None of these

"Surface" was one of many alien-themed shows that had great starts to the 2005 season, but ended up canceled with no real resolution due to a declining audience. It turned out that the 'aliens' were not so alien after all; they were created by scientists. Like other popular recent shows, "Surface" used many storylines that intertwined, but were unresolved.

After falling into a never-ending hiatus during the 2006 Winter Olympics, "Surface" never resurfaced, and it was canceled by NBC after fifteen episodes.
4. "Invasion" was an alien-themed show. Where did this canceled show take place?

Answer: Florida

Set in the Florida Keys, "Invasion" was more popular than the other alien-themed show, "Surface". It got a longer run than "Surface" though- it reached twenty-two episodes. Avid viewers were surprised to find that it was canceled after a cliffhanger ending, when ABC decided that there weren't enough viewers. Fans attribute the cancellation to multiple hiatuses over the course of the season as well as numerous timeslot changes.
5. This program about a female president had a strong start, but it was canceled in May, 2006. What is its name?

Answer: Commander in Chief

"Commander in Chief" was hailed as one of the most promising new shows of the 2005-2006 season, and it gained the highest ratings on Tuesday nights- that is until "American Idol" returned in January. After this, ratings dropped by millions of viewers and ABC announced that the show would not return for a second season. It featured eighteen episodes, which were released on two DVD sets.
6. Which FOX show about a college graduate returning home was canceled in April?

Answer: Free Ride

"Free Ride" ran for a total of six episodes before getting the axe by FOX in April. Although the premiere was viewed by fourteen million viewers, the number dropped to only five million by the second episode, and to four million by the series finale. The show was about a college graduate, played by Josh Dean, returning home to Missouri to live at home with his parents and old friends.
7. For four seasons, WB sitcom "What I Like About You" starred which popular teen actress?

Answer: Amanda Bynes

This show starred child sensation and Disney Channel star, Amanda Bynes, who lives with her sister, played by Jenny Garth (though they were born fourteen years apart in real life). The show marked the transition for Bynes from childrens shows to teen comedies.

When the CW began, the show was set aside and the stars went on to make movies. It later went into syndication with more than eighty episodes.
8. What Showtime program starring Hank Azaria was canceled in 2006?

Answer: Huff

Hank Azaria starred as Craig Huffstodt, a psychiatrist who has a client commit suicide during a session. This later causes him to consider the problems in his life while he helps out his family with their problems. After two seasons of episodes (thirteen per season), Azaria and Showtime announced the cancellation of the show which helped gain Blythe Danner two Emmy Awards for her performance in the show.
9. On which station did the show "Everwood" air before it was canceled?

Answer: WB

This WB show about a family living in a small Colorado town did not make the cut when it came to the big move to the CW, and it ended after four modestly-popular seasons. The show starred Treat Williams, Gregory Smith, and Vivian Cardone as a family who had just moved to Everwood. This show lasted eighty-nine episodes and was actually filmed in Utah.
10. Which show was based on a character named Skyler Dayton and her new life working in a book store?

Answer: Stacked

This FOX comedy was cut short in its second season. Airing after "American Idol", the show was able to maintain modest ratings, but it wasn't able to stand on its own two feet and it ended up canceled after nineteen episodes. The show starred Pamela Anderson, who after breaking up with her boyfriend, needed to get back on her feet.

She was hired at a bookstore. Most people found this ironic. Some people found it intriguing. They can watch it on a DVD set including the five unaired episodes that never made the schedule.
