Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. FOX kicked off the cancellations of the 2005-2006 fall season with a show about two lawyers coping with personal problems while working together in court. What show was this?

Answer: Head Cases

A successful lawyer who suffers a nervous breakdown and a somewhat unsuccessful lawyer he meets at a mental wellness clinic team up to bring justice to the courts in this "Ally McBeal" of the twenty-first century. Chris O'Donnell and Adam Goldberg teamed up in only two episodes of FOX's would-be hit, but the station took the axe to "Head Cases" after extremely low ratings.
2. Back in the summer of 2005, FOX released a reality show about David Foster and his stepsons. What was the name of this quickly canceled show?

Answer: The Princes of Malibu

In this show, world-famous recording artist David Foster cuts off the cash-flow to his two lazy stepsons Brody and Brandon Jenner, so they think of crazy schemes to earn money. Meanwhile, David's wife, Linda Thompson is directly in the middle defending the boys while calming David down. Once again, FOX gave the show two episodes before showing the final four unaired episodes on its reality channel.
3. Lisa Kudrow was famous for her role as Phoebe Buffay on NBC's "Friends". In 2004, her new TV show, "The Comeback" was first aired. On what station was this show canceled in 2005?

Answer: HBO

"The Comeback" was about an ex-sitcom star attempting to revive her career. Although the show had mixed reviews, the show only picked up a small amount of viewers, and after one season of thirteen episodes, "The Comeback" never came back.
4. Denise Richards starred on her own TV show on UPN called "Sex, Love, and Secrets" before it was canceled quite quickly after it began. How many episodes of the show were created?

Answer: Ten

Although only ten episodes were created, only a handful ended up airing before low ratings knocked the show off the schedule. The show was about a group of twenty-somethings living in Hollywood.
5. Once again on FOX, another show bites the dust. Who starred in FOX's canceled comedy, "Life on a Stick"?

Answer: Amy Yasbeck

"Life on a Stick", was about a group of teenagers who would hang out and work at the food court in a mall. Only five of the eight produced episodes of the show aired, and it was canceled back in April 2005.
6. What show which lasted three seasons, took place on a farm in one season, across America in the second season, and in a bunch of wacky jobs in the third season before FOX canceled it?

Answer: The Simple Life

"The Simple Life" starred Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as they left their fast-paced lives of luxury, designer clothes, and credit cards behind and went into the real world. In the first season, they lived on a farm and performed much of the tasks that a farmer would have to do.

In season 2, Paris and Nicole went on a road trip across America, and in season 3, they became interns and worked at many locations across the states.
7. Jenny McCarthy was also picked up by UPN for the 2005-06 season, but her show was canceled after three episodes. Her show was called "Twins".

Answer: False

Jenny McCarthy's show was called "The Bad Girls Guide" and it was about two girls who tried to make it in the advertising business. On the other hand, "Twins" was only moved on the WB to a different timeslot while "Living with Fran" and "Blue Collar TV" were put on hiatus at the time. Both "Living with Fran" and "Blue Collar TV" were aired for the first time the previous year.
8. Which TV show featured the Judd Risk Management Firm, and was canceled after one month of shows?

Answer: Eyes

"Eyes" aired on ABC in mid-season when it replaced a previously canceled show. Although the show was well written and had a small fan-base, the show was also cut from ABC's schedule in August. The show followed the Risk Management Firm as it solved highly-detailed crimes involving millions of dollars.
9. Which canceled cartoon show featured Rikochet, Buena Girl and The Flea?

Answer: ¡Mucha Lucha!

This crazy cartoon was one of the first TV cartoons to be created entirely with a program called "Macromedia Flash". The show followed three characters which followed the Code of Masked Wrestling, and it was based on the culture where people constantly wear masks and wrestle. This show lasted about three years before WB stopped production on the show.
10. What summer show starring Adam Baldwin and Rachel Nichols was an L.A. crime drama shown on FOX?

Answer: The Inside

"The Inside" focused most around the character Rebecca Locke as she and the L.A. Crime Unit covered the darkest, dirtiest crimes in the city. The only reason she was hired was because of her dark secrets and horrid past. Although this show was introduced to FOX's summer schedule, it didn't last until the fall schedule. It was canceled after one month.
