Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Clark Kent grew up on a farm in "Smallville", but he's from the planet Krypton. Why can he never go home?

Answer: Krypton was destroyed

Clark Kent (Tom Welling) of "Smallville" (2001-2011) was born on the planet Krypton, blasted into space by his loving parents just before Krypton was blown to bits. Clark learns this hard truth in season 2, when prominent astronomer Dr. Swann (Christopher Reeve) gives young Clark a space message from his parents, translated from Kryptonian symbols. Dr. Swann shows Clark an empty spot in space where the planet used to be. Young Clark struggles to adjust to his alien abilities, confront villains and friends weirdly affected by meteor kryptonite, and accept his intense loneliness.

His alien father Jor-El does provide Clark a home-like place of solace in the arctic, the Fortress of Solitude. But although Clark spends most of the early seasons searching for home and family, the truth is, Clark's home Krypton, and his birth parents, are gone forever. Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) left the show after season 7, looking for work in comedy.

2. An Earl named Robert and his aristocratic family try to hold on to their home and traditions in which lauded British TV show?

Answer: Downton Abbey

In "Downton Abbey" (2010-2015) Robert Crawley the Earl of Grantham, his American wife Cora and their three daughters fight to hold on to their title, estate and domestic servants as history and tradition had long dictated. They believe home, duty and tradition are the finest truths.

But social truth can change. Beginning in 1912 just after the Titanic sinks with two heirs aboard, the Crawley's find that world events like war, flu epidemic, and the rising of the working class demand change at home. One daughter marries a commoner, another becomes pregnant out of wedlock as well as an editor, while a third would make a very good Earl.

The servants sabotage and support one another, are loyal and sometimes destructive toward the Crawleys, and the estate stands strong, though not the same.

This series won multiple awards, and was possibly the most watched and beloved TV drama series yet. The photo is the real castle, Highclere, used for the show.
3. "The Last Man On Earth" drives across North America, leaving what message about his home town on highway billboards?

Answer: Alive in Tucson

"The Last Man on Earth" Phil Miller (Will Forte) survives a virus that empties the earth. After a grueling year alone he drives the continent, looking for human life, leaving "Alive in Tucson" on billboards everywhere. Deeply lonely, he distracts himself by breaking all the rules--he plays ball in a mansion he took over, drives a car down the grocery aisles, and blows things up. Eventually others do find him in Tucson, but the last humans on earth don't agree on how home and society should look. In truth, the gang of "last" humans keeps getting bigger, and Phil finds it hard to co-exist with the people he brought together. Also stars Kristen Schaal as the quirky Carol Pibasian.

4. June Osborne loses family and freedom when a totalitarian regime takes control of her homeland, and subjugates a category of women, in which show?

Answer: The Handmaid's Tale

"The Handmaid's Tale" is based on the dystopian novel by Margaret Atwood. Produced by Atwood and Elisabeth Moss (who plays June Osborne, called Offred)), HULU released the first season in 2017. Formerly an editor, wife and mother, June is kidnapped and her child taken.

She is forced to live in the home of elitist tyrants as a "handmaid"--a surrogate mother. She pretends to accept her terrifying home in Gilead, and the stripping away of all her rights. Truth is, she holds a secret--she remembers her home and family from "before", and she's determined to reunite with her child, and bring these tyrants down.

She is not alone. Photo is of a pregnant woman with a married man grasping her belly. Fertility has dropped to near nothing on Earth, so in Gilead all fertile women are kept as "handmaids" and prisoners, raped in a "religious rite" by the elites, who take any babies produced.
5. Jerry and friends are devout New Yorkers, spending much of their time at Jerry's apartment, in which beloved TV show?

Answer: Seinfeld

"Seinfeld" and his close friends George Costanza (Jason Alexander) and Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) as well as neighbor Cosmos Kramer (Michael Richards) spend most of their time at Jerry's New York city apartment. This is their home base, important for catching up on goings-on, phone calls, eating, hiding, and nothing happening.

In season 2 episode 5 Jerry invites Elaine to move into a vacant apartment upstairs. Elaine is elated because apartments are so hard to find, and everyone hangs out at Jerry's anyway.

But someone outbids her. Jerry loans her the money, but to tell the truth (which he doesn't), Jerry doesn't want her so close to home. To help Jerry Kramer finds a higher bidder but Kramer's guy ruins Jerry's peace and quiet. This show about "nothing", created by Seinfeld and Larry David, ran 9 seasons (1989-1998) and was the "TV Guide" pick for second greatest TV show of all time.
6. A doctor moves from New York city to a chilly new home, where Indians, moose, and eccentric folks give him culture shock, in which show?

Answer: Northern Exposure

"Northern Exposure" ran 1990-1995, with 57 award nominations. Dr. Joel Fleischman (Rob Morrow) is a new MD who must leave the big city and spend four years in the wilderness of Cicely, Alaska, to repay his student loan. His patients include a millionaire, an ex-convict, a mix-blood native, and a female bush pilot with whom he initially clashes.

He very much misses the food, the noise, and the ambitious mindset of New York city. Yet truth be told, he falls in love with Maggie O'Connell (Janine Turner), and as the show ends, he chooses a surprising new home, nothing like New York city. Morrow won 3 Golden Globes and was nominated twice for best actor. Photo is of...um...a northern exposure.
7. Touch a stone and you're in 1743! Claire suffers capture and suspicion as she desperately seeks a way back home to Frank, who is still in the 1940s future. Name the show.

Answer: Outlander

Caitriona Balfe stars as WWII nurse and wife Claire Randall, in "Outlander". Claire touches a druid stone and is cast back into the unrest of Scotland, 1743. She uses her nursing skills and knowledge of the future to fit in, but these same abilities make her suspect as a spy or a witch. Season 1 Claire wants nothing more than to get back to Craigh Na Dun, hoping to touch the druid stone again and go home to her husband.

But she faces the truth in episode 11: when given the chance, she does not go back.

She's found new love, and a new home. Season 3 ran in 2017. "Outlander" is based on a series of novels by Diana Gabaldon. Photo is a Scot's man in a traditional kilt.
8. Georgia is still home, yet can't talk to her family. Her only companions are a grim group she shares Post-Its and breakfast with everyday. Why is she invisible to her loved ones?

Answer: She's dead

"Dead Like Me" (2003-2004) starred Ellen Muth as Georgia Lass, a college dropout who is killed on her first day of work (pilot). She is stunned to discover she's become a grim reaper--assigned to collect souls and see them to the afterlife. Every morning a group of reluctant reapers meet for breakfast, where Rube (Mandy Patinkin) hands out assigned reapings on post-it notes. Georgia keeps going back to her house, to watch her mom, dad and little sister deal badly with her death. Truth be known, Georgia was mean to them, and now, standing in their midst, she can't tell them she loves them.

This show had 8 award nominations, but lots of interpersonal problems. The creator Bryan Fuller left, then 2 actors left, and Showtime cancelled. Too bad.

The actors were excellent, with record numbers of viewers. Photo is a person in grim reaper costume, reading the obituaries.
9. On "M.A.S.H", Corporal Klinger longs for Toledo, and pulls which trick hoping to be discharged and sent home?

Answer: Wears women's clothing

Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger desperately wants out of the Korean war and his assignment to the M.A.S.H (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) unit. He longs for his hometown Toledo, Ohio, and its Tony Packo's hotdogs. Klinger's first appearance on the show--intended to be his last (season 1 episode 4)--he wears a dress while on guard duty.

Instead of a psychiatric discharge, Jamie Farr was so popular he became a regular. The truth is Colonel Potter saw through Klinger's ruse from day one, and when the war was over, when Klinger was free to go home, he stayed in Korea with his Korean fiance. Writer Larry Gilbert won an award for Farr's first episode, "Chief Surgeon Who?". Photo is a Tootsie Roll, like "Tootsie" the movie with cross-dressing.
10. In HBO's "Game of Thrones", Daenerys does not just long for home, she's waging bloody battle to take it back. Which island is the seat of her ancestors?

Answer: Dragonstone

In HBO's "Game of Thrones" Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) was born on the island of Dragonstone, in Westeros. When her father was slain and his kingdom usurped, she and her brother were smuggled across the sea into exile. Though her family had ruled for nearly 300 years, Dany believes them all dead. Daenerys determines to raise an army, cross the sea, occupy Dragonstone, then use her dragons to take the Iron Throne lost to her dad. Let's face the truth though: She has never seen the homeland she so fiercely burns to rule, and she knows little about the calculating players there.

There is a madness in her genes. So is she truly going home? Or boldly courting death? In 2017 the beautiful, fierce Clarke was among the highest paid actors on TV, earning two million per episode, her viewers on the edge of their seats. Photo is a dragonfly.
