Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Emily's Reasons Why Not" was one of the first shows to be canceled in 2006, and it's one of the few shows to be canceled after airing a single episode! Who starred as Emily in this flop?

Answer: Heather Graham

Although Heather lost this show rather quickly in mid-January, she performed guest roles on TV's "Scrubs", "Arrested Development", and "Sex and the City" over the previous years, and she was the co-star in the hit movie "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999).
The show was about a woman (Emily) who wrote self-help books and turned to her friends in order to make lists of reasons as to why she should break up her relationships. After only 6.2 million viewers in the premiere episode, the show was immediately cut from ABC's schedule.
2. Which FOX show about the San Francisco Deviant Crimes Unit, was canceled in January 2006?

Answer: Killer Instinct

Of course, all of these shows were canceled, and two of them were by FOX. "Threshold", a show based around a government agency to stop aliens, was canceled by CBS in 2005. "The Inside", was a FOX show starring Alec Baldwin, and it was canceled in the summer (also in 2005). "Wanted" was a TNT drama about cops in Los Angeles, and like "Killer Instinct", it left in January 2006.
Before being canceled, "Killer Instinct" aired nine episodes on FOX (with four remaining), and it was about a police unit in charge of seeking out and solving deviant crimes in San Francisco.
3. How many seasons of "That 70's Show" were aired before it ended in May 2006?

Answer: Eight

"That 70's Show" was a FOX hit during its run, but as time went by, the cast of the show (originally meant to be teenagers) grew up, and the show lost its appeal. In the final seasons, two of the main characters, Eric Foreman (Topher Grace) and Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) left the show and "MADtv" alumni Josh Meyers was added to the cast as Randy Pearson.

The show ended in its eighth season on May 18th, 2006 with its 200th episode.
4. "The Book of Daniel" was a very controversial show that was canceled in January 2006. What station did it air on?

Answer: NBC

"The Book of Daniel" was quite different from most other programs on TV at the time since it focused on many religious issues. The show was based on a minister and father who frequently had conversations with Jesus in order to solve problems. Many viewers felt that it shouldn't have dealt with homosexuality and racism the way it did.

The show was canceled after airing three episodes, but some stations throughout the United States cut the show from their schedules due to viewer complaints.
5. What CBS TV show about Los Angeles recording executives featured musicians in guest starring roles in each new episode?

Answer: Love Monkey

"Love Monkey" aired merely three episodes before being canceled by CBS in February 2006. The show starred Tom Cavanagh and Jason Priestley as brothers-in-law, one of whom worked for an record label. The show's guest stars included James Blunt, Teddy Geiger, and Leann Rimes. The remaining episodes were shown on VH1 following this show's permanent hiatus.
6. What Lifetime TV show starring the characters Dr. Dylan West and Dr. Luisa Delgado, aired its final show in February 2006?

Answer: Strong Medicine

After six successful seasons on the air, "Strong Medicine" was set to end in early 2006. Although fans expected a strong ending, it's series finale couldn't compete with its competitor, the Superbowl Half-Time Show. The show, based around the Rittenhouse Women's Clinic, focused on womens issues. Whoopi Goldberg was involved with the creation of the show.
7. "Malcolm in the Middle" was extremely successful in its six year run. Who played Malcolm on this show before it ended in May 2006?

Answer: Frankie Muniz

Like with "That 70's Show", the kids on "Malcolm in the Middle" were simply getting too old to be playing their roles. The show was based on a dysfunctional family, where the middle child was a child genius, and his other family members have their own problems.

After passing episode #150, it ended its run. Many of the cast members continue to have strong acting careers, but when the show ended, Frankie Muniz started driving race cars.
8. What show, starring four male friends (including Seth Green and Josh Cooke) was canceled by NBC after seven aired episodes?

Answer: Four Kings

"Four Kings" was about four friends living together in New York City, and it aired after episodes from the final season of NBC's popular hit "Will and Grace". Like Seth Green's previous show, "Greg the Bunny", its time on the air was quite short Seth Green also stars on "Family Guy" as Chris, which was also canceled at one time. "Family Guy" returned to the Sunday schedule due to viewer support and DVD sales.
9. Before it was canceled, which celebrity never won an episode of "Celebrity Cooking Showdown"?

Answer: Patti LaBelle

"Celebrity Cooking Showdown" was NBC's most recent failed reality show, and it was canceled due to low viewership. In each show, three celebrities are trained by world-famous chefs in order to make a great dish. These dishes are then judged by Gael Greene and Colin Cowie and given a rating.

In the end, Cindy Margolis won the five-episode competition and the show was canceled in April 2006.
10. What NBC show, canceled after four episodes, starred Dougray Scott and Michele Hicks?

Answer: Heist

Although "Heist" was regarded as a good show, NBC placed it into the same timeslot as "American Idol" on FOX and "LOST" on ABC, so it really had no chance. It was canceled after four episodes due to low ratings in April 2006. The show was about detectives trying to hunt down master criminals who plan to organize the perfect heist.
