Question 1 of 10
1. Sian is sneaking into Headquarters, intent on stealing at least one pair of mirrored sunglasses when a voice freezes her in place. "Ponch! Sergeant Getraer wants us in the office now!"
"Hold on, Jon," Ponch yells, "I just noticed my Kawasaki has a leak!"
What show, based in California, is Sian robbing?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Sian is in Springfield, and it is dark, but she can still see that the residents have yellow skin! She follows Barney to his friend's house, and slips inside, searching for the famous saxophone. What animated television show is she planning to steal from? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. New York City is noisy, but Manhattan's Eleventh Precinct does not seem noisy enough. Sian is tip-toeing through the offices, hoping her small noises do not disturb the bald detective, who just said "Who loves ya, baby?" to a departing plainclothes officer. She edges closer, and grins as she spots the stash of lollipops she has come to steal - from which television series? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Sian is crouched low, the voices inside the Cocoa Beach house floating out the window above her. "Roger, you cannot date both twins," Tony says. "Dr. Bellows will have you kicked out of the program." Stifling a giggle, Sian gets ready to slip inside and snatch a special bottle from which sitcom? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Sian is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and she's sidled into a auto garage. Staying in the shadows, she freezes in place when something nearby clatters to the cement floor. "Hey, Potsie," Arthur says in an exasperated tone. "Ralph, give your buddy a hand, will ya?" Sian relaxes a bit and takes another step towards the leather jacket she is stealing from which show? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Sian follows Nurse Chapel along the ship's corridor, hiding out in plain sight. She's managed to don a red security uniform, and plans to accomplish her mission through sheer audacity. When Nurse Chapel stops at the entrance to Sick Bay, Sian walks past, heading for the bridge - intent on stealing an iconic weapon from which science fiction program? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Even at night Washington D.C. is a busy place, and Sian evades notice by hugging the shadows. She's just off the elevator and reaching for a doorknob when voices still her movements. "Steve Trevor, are you planning on working all night?" Diana Prince asks. "Keeping the nation safe is not a nine to five job," Steve replies. "But yes, let's call it a night." Sian looks at her watch, and waits for the two to leave, so she can steal the bullet-deflecting bracelets from which television series? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. The Phoenix Foundation headquarters is a confusing maze of hallways, but Sian is sure she is on the right track. Her assumption is confirmed when she spots Jack Dalton and Pete Thornton exiting an office, and a few paces later stepping into an elevator. She dashes soundlessly into the office, and begins to search for the Swiss Army knife she is stealing - from which adventure series? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. It's chilly in the camp, but Sian is too focused to notice. She is creeping silently along the headquarter walls, when a booming voice stops her in her tracks. "I know nothing," the sergeant says, "nothing!" Corporal LeBeau snorts out a laugh, then says, "Is that right? Then the colonel must have been mistaken." Sian edges around the building as the two men exit, and she enters to search for a monocle - from which television show? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Sian is sneaking around a tropical estate, the sound of the surf covering the small noises she is making. Hoping not to attract the attention of Zeus and Apollo, she crosses the lanai and peers in Thomas' window, looking for a brightly-colored floral shirt - from which television series? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sian is sneaking into Headquarters, intent on stealing at least one pair of mirrored sunglasses when a voice freezes her in place. "Ponch! Sergeant Getraer wants us in the office now!" "Hold on, Jon," Ponch yells, "I just noticed my Kawasaki has a leak!" What show, based in California, is Sian robbing?

Answer: CHiPs

"CHiPS" was a rather 'light' crime drama centered around two California motorcycle policemen and their daily interactions with criminals, crashes and cuties. The program ran from 1977 - 1983, and for the majority of the series the two main characters were Ponch, played by Erik Estrada, and Jon, played by Larry Wilcox. Due to salary disputes and personality conflicts, towards the end of the run changes were made that replaced Estrada with Bruce Jenner for part of the fifth season, and replaced Wilcox with Tom Reilly for the sixth season.

The two main characters never drew their guns during the entire run of the show. The series also starred Robert Pine, Lew Saunders and Brodie Greer. A television movie sequel, "CHiPS '99", featured a few of the program's original stars, including Erik Estrada, Larry Wilcox and Robert Pine.
2. Sian is in Springfield, and it is dark, but she can still see that the residents have yellow skin! She follows Barney to his friend's house, and slips inside, searching for the famous saxophone. What animated television show is she planning to steal from?

Answer: The Simpsons

In 1987 "The Simpsons" debuted on television in a number of 'shorts' on the Tracey Ullman Show. In 1989 the dysfunctional family of Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie struck out on their own with a half hour program that followed them, and the other residents of Springfield, through years of pratfalls, pop culture references and general mayhem.

The series has had a number of notable guest stars, including Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, Dustin Hoffman and Tracey Ullman. The program's theme song was composed by Danny Elfman, and the Simpsons were created by Matt Groening (he also created "Futurama").
3. New York City is noisy, but Manhattan's Eleventh Precinct does not seem noisy enough. Sian is tip-toeing through the offices, hoping her small noises do not disturb the bald detective, who just said "Who loves ya, baby?" to a departing plainclothes officer. She edges closer, and grins as she spots the stash of lollipops she has come to steal - from which television series?

Answer: Kojak

Kojak was a crime drama which ran from 1973 - 1978. In 1973, a made-for-television movie titled "The Marcus-Nelson Murders", and starring Telly Savalas as Kojack, became the pilot for the "Kojak" series. A rather gritty police drama, the series centered on an incorruptible New York detective and his inimitable style as he solved cases.

The lollipops became a signature prop for the detective as he struggled to overcome his smoking habit. The series also featured Dan Frazer, Kevin Dobson and George Savalas (Telly's younger brother).
4. Sian is crouched low, the voices inside the Cocoa Beach house floating out the window above her. "Roger, you cannot date both twins," Tony says. "Dr. Bellows will have you kicked out of the program." Stifling a giggle, Sian gets ready to slip inside and snatch a special bottle from which sitcom?

Answer: I Dream of Jeannie

"I Dream of Jeannie" ran from 1965 - 1970. The first season was black and white, but the remaining years were in color. The series was NBC's competitive answer to ABC's ratings hit "Bewitched". Based on the 1964 movie "The Brass Bottle" - which starred Barbara Eden - the series centered on an astronaut and a genie, and the inevitable complications such a situation would create. Larry Hagman, Barbara Eden, Bill Daily and Hayden Rorke starred as the main characters. While numerous bottles were used throughout the filming of the series, Barbara Eden got to keep the bottle used on the last filming day of the series.
5. Sian is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and she's sidled into a auto garage. Staying in the shadows, she freezes in place when something nearby clatters to the cement floor. "Hey, Potsie," Arthur says in an exasperated tone. "Ralph, give your buddy a hand, will ya?" Sian relaxes a bit and takes another step towards the leather jacket she is stealing from which show?

Answer: Happy Days

The sitcom "Happy Days" ran from 1974 - 1984, and spawned five other series - "Laverne & Shirley", "Blansky's Beauties", "Mork & Mindy", "Out of the Blue", and "Joanie Loves Chachi". "Happy Days" was set in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and featured the Cunningham family and their associated friends - including Fonzie, Potsie, Ralph, Chachi, Arnold and others. Addressing basic family and social issues, the series was a fictionalized glimpse into 1950's Midwestern American life.

There were several notable guest stars, including Hank Aaron, Frankie Avalon, Tom Hanks and Robin Williams.
6. Sian follows Nurse Chapel along the ship's corridor, hiding out in plain sight. She's managed to don a red security uniform, and plans to accomplish her mission through sheer audacity. When Nurse Chapel stops at the entrance to Sick Bay, Sian walks past, heading for the bridge - intent on stealing an iconic weapon from which science fiction program?

Answer: Star Trek

Created by Gene Roddenberry, "Star Trek: The Original Series" featured an ensemble cast on a five year mission to explore outer space. Delving into new concepts, touching on previously 'taboo' subjects in American television and confronting the very worst and very best in humankind kept the series going for three seasons.

The series, which starred William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley and several other fine actors, brought words such as phaser, Klingon and warp drive into popular culture.

The series, which had some big-name guest stars, including Julie Newmar, Teri Garr and Ricardo Montalban, spawned a vast franchise of books, television series and films.
7. Even at night Washington D.C. is a busy place, and Sian evades notice by hugging the shadows. She's just off the elevator and reaching for a doorknob when voices still her movements. "Steve Trevor, are you planning on working all night?" Diana Prince asks. "Keeping the nation safe is not a nine to five job," Steve replies. "But yes, let's call it a night." Sian looks at her watch, and waits for the two to leave, so she can steal the bullet-deflecting bracelets from which television series?

Answer: Wonder Woman

Running from 1976 - 1979, "Wonder Woman" starred Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and Lyle Waggoner as Steve Trevor. The first season was set during World War II, with Trevor (government agent) and Diana (Amazon princess) battling Nazi forces and other evils. For the second season, a 35 year gap in time took the series into then present day situations, with Waggoner playing Steve Trevor Jr., and the two following story lines with more contemporary detective/mystery plots. Along with the bullet-deflecting bracelets, Wonder Woman's implements include a power belt, golden lasso of truth, and an invisible plane.

The series was based on the DC Comics character created by William Moulton Marston.
8. The Phoenix Foundation headquarters is a confusing maze of hallways, but Sian is sure she is on the right track. Her assumption is confirmed when she spots Jack Dalton and Pete Thornton exiting an office, and a few paces later stepping into an elevator. She dashes soundlessly into the office, and begins to search for the Swiss Army knife she is stealing - from which adventure series?

Answer: MacGyver

Richard Dean Anderson played Angus MacGyver, a secret agent working as a problem solver for the Phoenix Foundation. Each episode found MacGyver faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges which he met and solved - often with little more than his Swiss Army knife, a roll of duct tape and an uncanny knowledge of scientific facts.

His co-star, Dana Elcar played Pete Thornton (MacGyver's boss and best friend), and when Elcar began to lose his sight due to glaucoma, it was incorporated into his character's storyline.

The series ran from 1985 - 1992, and afterwards Anderson produced and starred in two television films that featured MacGyver - 1994's "MacGyver: Lost Treasure of Atlantis" and "MacGyver: Trail to Doomsday".
9. It's chilly in the camp, but Sian is too focused to notice. She is creeping silently along the headquarter walls, when a booming voice stops her in her tracks. "I know nothing," the sergeant says, "nothing!" Corporal LeBeau snorts out a laugh, then says, "Is that right? Then the colonel must have been mistaken." Sian edges around the building as the two men exit, and she enters to search for a monocle - from which television show?

Answer: Hogan's Heroes

The sitcom "Hogan's Heroes" featured a group of POWs imprisoned in Germany at the fictional Stalag 13 during World War II. The group of prisoners used their position within the camp to carry out secret missions for the Allied forces, taking advantage of their guards' inattention. Starring Bob Crane as the ranking POW officer, John Banner as the bumbling Sergeant Schultz and Werner Klemperer as the monocled Colonel Klink, the series ran from 1965 - 1971. And despite the controversies that the premise raised, the show was nominated for three Emmy Awards for Best Comedy Series.
10. Sian is sneaking around a tropical estate, the sound of the surf covering the small noises she is making. Hoping not to attract the attention of Zeus and Apollo, she crosses the lanai and peers in Thomas' window, looking for a brightly-colored floral shirt - from which television series?

Answer: Magnum P.I.

"Magnum P.I." starred Tom Selleck, John Hillerman, Roger E. Mosley and Larry Manetti. Working as a private investigator, Thomas Magnum (Selleck) lived in the guest house of an estate managed by Jonathan Higgins III (Hillerman). Magnum's investigations often included car chases, gun play, beautiful women and tropical vistas, and often featured at least the possibility of danger from the estate's two Doberman Pinschers - Zeus and Apollo.

The series ran from 1980 - 1988 and featured numerous guest stars, including Orson Welles, Jose Ferrer, and Carol Channing.
