In what format is this show produced? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. In the edgy animated series "Boondocks", two orphaned African-American boys from the inner-city go to live with their grandfather in a wealthy, predominantly white suburb. One of the youngsters is a wannabe gangster, while the other is a self-styled Malcolm X. When granddad and the boys are invited to a garden party at the home of the wealthy town banker, one of the boys shoots the banker's son out of a second story window, while the other takes the band's microphone and announces that "Jesus Christ was black, Ronald Reagan was the devil, and the government is lying about 9/11". What are the names of these diametrically opposed siblings? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. In "Squidbillies", the Cuylers are an animated family of redneck cephalopods living in poverty and on dry land in the Appalachian region of North Georgia. Their only source of income appears to be from moonshine and the occasional cannabis crop, although Aunt Lil may at one time have worked as a beautician. Granny frequently offers her services to visiting gentlemen, but her feebleness renders that impossible. Rusty, the youngest of the Cuyler clan, is the offspring of family patriarch Early Cuyler and which of these lucky ladies? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" provides a new animated venue for classic cartoon characters. Each week, a different character seeks Harvey's representation for a variety of legal troubles.

Question 8 of 10
8. A trio of youngsters chase their celluloid dreams in the animated show, "Home Movies". Together, Brendan, Jason and Melissa write, produce, direct and act in mostly dreadful films not suitable for public consumption. While their filmmaking endeavors occupy most of their extracurricular time, they do belong to a school sports team headed by drunken, surly Coach McGuirk. What sport do the aspiring filmmakers "play"? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Heavy metal music reaches new heights -- or should I say, depths -- when played by animated death metal band, Dethklok, in "Metalocalypse". The band is worshipped worldwide, with fans gladly sacrificing their lives to the shows' dangerous special effects. Unspeakably wealthy and hopelessly unable to handle even their most basic affairs, Dethklok band manager Charles Foster Offdensen oversees every aspect of the band members' lives...from contract negotiations to band group therapy. Which of the following band members is the lead singer of Dethklok? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. "Sealab 2021" began as a re-voicing of the 1972 Hanna-Barbera series, "Sealab 2020". Recording new dialogue to match the original animation, the re-worked version known as "Sealab 2021" bore little resemblance to its predecessor. On "Sealab 2021", the station's engineer was voiced by an actor who has had a very tumultuous career. His great success playing a motorcycle police officer was followed by virtual obscurity. This actor was seemingly resurrected in Latin soap operas, otherwise known as telenovelas. Today, he can be found everywhere from reality shows to game shows to voiceover work. Who is he? Hint
