1. Which show about nothing popularized the phrase "yada yada yada" to cut a long story short?

Answer: Seinfeld

"Seinfeld" was centered on the lives of Jerry Seinfeld and his three friends, George Constanza, Cosmo Kramer and Elaine Benes. In the 153rd episode of the show, George starts dating a new girl named Marcy who has a habit of saying "yada yada yada" to cut short a long story. Soon George begins suspecting that she is using this as a trick to hide important details from him.

While the phrase itself may have been around before this episode, its popularity definitely increased post it.

"Full House" revolved around the lives of Danny Tanner and his three daughters - D.J., Stephanie and Michelle. When Danny lost his wife, his best friend, Joey and brother-in-law, Jesse moved in with him to help him raise the girls. Being a full blown Casanova before he found his soul mate, Jesse frequently exclaimed "have mercy" whenever he met a beautiful girl.
3. Which animated patriarch's response to almost everything was "D'oh"?

Answer: Homer

Set in a fictional city called Springfield, "The Simpsons" is a long running animated sitcom that parodies various political, social and cultural issues. The family consists of Homer, Marge and their three children - Bart, Lisa and Maggie. Although mainly used by Homer, "D'oh" has also been used by other characters on the show and was even added to The New Oxford Dictionary of English in 1998.

It is defined as 'an interjection used to comment on something perceived as foolish or stupid'.
4. Which "Friend" managed to turn a perfectly normal question like "How you doin'?" into one of television's most famous pick-up lines?

Answer: Joey

The iconic television show "Friends", which began airing in September 1994, ran for ten seasons up to May 2004. Revolving around the lives of six single friends living in New York City, each member of the principal cast earned a formidable fan following thanks to the show. Joey Tribbiani, played by Matt LeBlanc, was a struggling actor and serial womanizer.

Despite not being one of the brightest among the lot, Joey had no trouble having all kinds of women falling for him.

Answer: Survivor

One among them is periodically voted out with the last remaining participant being crowned the winner.
6. Which member of the "Brady Bunch", tired of being continually compared to their more popular and perfect older sister, uttered the now famous phrase "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"?

Answer: Jan

"The Brady Bunch" comprised of Mike Brady and his three children, and Carol and her three children, who formed a combined family when the two married. Jan was the middle daughter and had her own insecurities arising from her being a middle child. She often felt herself unable to match up to her more popular older sister Marcia, who seemed to have a charmed life.

This line was uttered in frustration by Jan and went to become popular enough to be parodied by other shows.
7. Which 'legen-wait for it-dary' character from the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" popularized the phrases "suit up" and "challenge accepted"?

Answer: Barney Stinson

Barney Stinson, portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris, is one of the five principal characters in the show which revolves around Ted Mosby's long story of how he met his wife. He is famous for his womanizing ways and once claimed to have slept with over three hundred women. Barney's "legen-wait for it-dary" catchphrase was so popular that the second season of the series ended with him saying "legen-wait for it-" and the next season began with the word "dary".

He is also almost always seen wearing suits and fans of the series started an International Suit Up Day on various social networking sites.
8. Which maverick doctor used the belief that "everybody lies" as the basis for all his diagnoses?

Answer: Dr. Gregory House

Answer: Bee

"The Big Bang Theory" is a television series centered on the lives of four geeks and their completely non-academically oriented, waitress neighbor. Sheldon Cooper is a theoretical physicist with an IQ of genius levels contrasted by a lack of emotional intelligence and social skills. His catchphrase "bazinga", which he uses after he has played a prank or tricked somebody, has been officially registered as a trademark by Warner Bros.

The Euglossa bazinga is a species of bee native to Brazil. It was originally incorrectly identified as Euglossa ignita before being acknowledged as a separate species by Brazilian biologists André Nemésio and Rafael R. Ferrari. Nemesio stated that they named the insect Euglossa bazinga since it had tricked them into misidentifying it.
