One at a Time - Single Page - Timed Game

Question 1 of 10

1. My favorite TV show of all time is an oldie (but a goodie). It debuted when TV land was still shown in black and white. (It later entered the world of technicolor.) The adventures of a married couple and the bride's zany family set the stage for this magical gem. Which show is it?

Answer: (one word)

Question 2 of 10

2. My next favorite TV series ran for eight seasons during the 70s. It was adapted from a popular UK show and involved a lot of confrontations. The show resulted in seven spin-offs and a whole new way to view television. Which show is it? Hint

'All in the Family'

'The Brady Bunch'

'The Mary Tyler Moore Show'

'Three's Company'

NEXT>

Question 3 of 10

3. This next show went strong into the 21st century with new faces constantly being introduced. Most of the cast has left except for one pretty face. A chick with a stick is also hanging around the county. Still stuck? Maybe knowing what a LFT and a CBC are might help. Which show is it? Hint

Diagnosis: Murder

Chicago Hope

Casualty

NEXT>

Question 4 of 10

4. This series had many many seasons and more cast members in its introduction than I do of toes and fingers. Again, most of the original actors left by the end, but a few stayed, or left and came back. This zippy show took place in the sun and had the executive producer's daughter placed in a key role. Which show is it? Hint

'Melrose Place'

'The Mod Squad'

'Charlie's Angels'

'Beverly Hills, 90210'

NEXT>

Question 5 of 10

5. This show debuted in the 90s and soon became one of the most popular series on television. It stars six acquaintences and a lovable coffee house. Unsure of which show it is? Head on over to the TV section of Funtrivia and you'll find about a trillion quizzes on this series. Which show is it?

Answer: (There is absolutely no hint needed!)

NEXT>

Question 6 of 10

6. This series was cut entirely too short. It was canceled after only 18 episodes. Linda, the main star, was accompanied by a ton of other actors. The joys of high school and the separation of popularity groups were painfully shown throughout this TV series. Which show is it? Hint

'Freaks and Geeks'

'Popular'

'My So-Called Life'

'Jack and Jill'

NEXT>

Question 7 of 10

7. Another favorite of mine is a teen show. This show includes an addicting theme song that's quite all right as well as a guy that goes by three letters. A smoke-filled basement, Cheech's old buddy and an el camino are significant to the show. Which show is it? Hint

'Saved by the Bell'

'The Facts of Life'

'Dawson's Creek'

'That '70s Show'

NEXT>

Question 8 of 10

8. This next show is the product of a TV genius. It brings headaches and low salaries to those involved. A giant, a conductor, a Senate and a lady with perfect hair are the main heads. Winslow is sure to get you hooked. Which show is it?

Answer: (two words)

NEXT>

Question 9 of 10

9. This show began at the beginning of the 80s and went off the air at the end of the decade. Greedy sarcasm, a hippie past, and a fashion obsessed airhead complete this family. The star went on to the city and is now a true survivor. What would we do in Ohio? Which show is it?

Answer: (two words)

NEXT>

Question 10 of 10

10. Since all of the other questions have dealt with primetime series, here's one about late TV programs. It's Triumphant, it's well educated, it has the Boss' buddy. Bored? Hop behind the desk and take 'er out for a spin. Which show is it? Hint

'Tonight Show with Jay Leno'

'Late Night with Conan O'Brien'

'Late Show with David Letterman'

'Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn'

Answer: 'Freaks and Geeks'

I miss this show so much. 'Freaks and Geeks' was on NBC in 1999. It starred many of young stars, but in particular, Linda Cardinelli. She went on to play Velma in 'Scooby-Doo'. For the record, 'My So-Called Life' produced 19 episodes.

The Ohio based Keaton clan included Mallory, Jennifer, Andy and Alex. Michael J. Fox later starred in 'Spin City' and now suffers from Parkinson's. The show aired for seven seasons.

Answer: 'Late Night with Conan O'Brien'

In my opinion, Conan O'Brien is one of the funniest guys in the entertainment industry. O'Brien's skits include Triumph; the insult comic dog. He likes to take the desk out across the city. Watch the show and you know what I mean. His bandleader, Max, plays for Bruce Springsteen. The show began in 1993.
