Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. An all time classic sit-com, the "Golden Girls" was set where?

Answer: Miami

The "Golden Girls" was one of the best sitcoms of all time. For seven years we lived, laughed and loved with Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sophia. None of the show was ever filmed in Miami and the house facade for outside shots was actually a home in Orlando.

2. The extensive Tanner family of "Full House" lived where?

Answer: San Francisco

"Full House" was set in San Francisco and followed widowed father Danny Tanner, who asked his best friend Joey and his brother-in-law Jesse to help raise his three daughters, D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle. "Full House" ran for eight seasons on ABC and was a popular part of its TGIF lineup in the mid '90's.

3. "American Dad", Seth MacFarlane's second animated series on FOX, is set in the fictional city of Stoolbend.

Answer: False

4. ABC's drama "Once Upon A Time" follows the lives of classic fairytale characters and is set in which fictional New England town?
