TV Trivia Questions
Friday Feb 2
Q: As promised, an easy question in honor of the greatest holiday of the year: What does Oscar the Grouch
(who looks vaguely groundhog-ish) call his home?
A: Oscar the Grouch lived in a trash can.

Q: I couldn't resist a third and final Get Smart question:
In opening sequence of each episode, Agent 86 drove up to Control headquarters in an exotic looking car.
Name any one of them. (Even if you don't know for sure, it's worth a guess!)
I know today's question is pretty tough, so tomorrow's will be an easy, non-Get Smart related question... Promise.
A: Maxwell Smart drove a Sunbeam Tiger, an Opel, and, my personal favorite, a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.

Q: Since people seem to like Get Smart, I'll ask another one: What secret government organization did
Agent 86 work for? Bonus point for the name of the evil organization they fought against.
A: Maxwell Smart fought for Control, against KAOS.

Q: In the days before cell phones, where did secret agent Maxwell Smart keep his mobile telephone?
A: Maxwell Smart had a telephone in his shoe, though I don't remember if it was the left or right. I really loved this show, so I tried to make one a few years ago out of an old pair of loafers and an even older cordless phone. It did work, but since the circa 1985 phone I used was roughly the size of Texas, I couldn't really wear it around. It was fun, nonetheless :-)

Q: Children's shows are some of the most under appreciated shows in television. Writers have the
delicate task of creating something that appeals not only to children, but also to the parents watching
with them. The Muppet Show mastered this art: I enjoyed it as a kid, and I love it even
more as an adult. Someday, I hope to enjoy this show with my own many children.
Okay, enough lead in. Here's today's question: If a Muppet episode contained a "Vet's Hospital" skit, what other recurring skit would you most likely not see?
A: Most every Muppet episode featured either a "Vet's Hospital" or "Pigs in Space" skit, but very few contained both.
