Only five, I did terrible. :(
Seven. That was a nice wide variety of questions! Do you have an 80's version like Trivial Pursuit?
I'll do an 80's quiz, thanks for the idea!
I did alright. I got 11. It's funny...We must be reading the same books or on the same plain. I am helping Aria with her annual science fair project and just read a book called "Mistakes that Work" That's how I knew the answer about Ruth Wakefield and I just told Aria about what Exxon use to be. There are ton of stars that are in the Andy Grffith show. Did you know the telephone operator's name in the "Andy Griffith Show", "Green Acres", "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Petticoat Junction"?
9 - I actually got more than I thought I would.
13 out of 15. I missed numbers 5 and 7.
Also- the correct answer to 9 is Martin O'Malley. I wouldn't have gotten Ruth Wakefield, if you hadn't added Toll House to the question.
Reading your answers to 7 made me think of another show that had a plethora of pre-celebrity guest appearances. The original Twilight Zone series featured many young actors/-tresses that later went on to highly successful careers.
It is interesting to watch the older shows- there were actually actors on them! Today's shows are too much about one-liners and pretty faces and "reality" to have the same impact.
Ron - I swear I am sitting here trying to make up questions with answers that I know, or think I know (Martin O'Malley).
I'll keep them coming since I am a trivia junkie, I love watching Jeopardy and other quiz shows.
