Happy Independence Day! Today, we thought it'd be fun to try a new game. We will provide an "alternate title" for a classic TV series and ask you to name the actual show. Most of these are pretty easy. Keep in mind that they're older series (all pre-1989), so #5 isn't Castle! Please answer no more than three questions per day so others can play. Good luck!1. Governess and College Teacher.
2. A Large Piece of Artillery.
3. Big Texas City.
4. The Colorful Flower from a Big State.
5. Chess move.
6. Rodent Reconnaissance Team.
7. Dusk Area.
8. Female That Marvels.
9. That Which Requires a Criminal.
10. Military Officer Who is Agreeable and Pleasant.
11. Sweet Toes.
12. Steak Restaurant Franchise (be careful with one!).
13. Intelligent Male Human.
14. Alphabet Letter Military Unit.
15. Now Obsolete Ford Compact Car.
3. Dallas
ReplyDelete4.The Yellow Rose of Texas
5.The Rat Patrol
I thought YELLOW ROSE might be a little harder, since it wasn't on for long!

Well done, Joanna...and Merry Christmas in July!
Delete14. The A-Team

Great job...but, you know, there should have been a TV show called PINTO!
Delete9 It Takes A Thief
ReplyDelete12 Ponderosa
12 Bonanza was the show....both Bonanza and Ponderosa were chain steak houses. I believe they have since merged....Blocker had a financial investment.
DeleteYes, BONANZA is the correct answer. But this one was tricky, because the syndicated version of BONANZA was called PONDEROSA while the prime time show was still running.
Delete6 Rat Patrol
ReplyDelete10 Captain Nice
ReplyDeleteNice job on both, Randy, especially CAPTAIN NICE (which isn't widely known, though I suppose it's become a cult show).
Delete5. Checkmate
ReplyDelete11. Sugarfoot
Kudos on both, especially since--like some of the others--CHECKMATE isn't very well-known.
DeleteI didn't think this quiz would last long--and it has not. The only unanswered questions are: 7, 8, and 13.
ReplyDelete8. Wonder Woman
ReplyDeleteWonderfully answered, Toto!
Delete7. The Twilight Zone
ReplyDeleteYou are correct (as always) and now the only unanswered question is #13.
DeletePlease allow me to finish up with...13. WISEGUY
ReplyDeleteYou did a fine job!
DeleteThanks to everyone who played. I thought it was fun, although perhaps too easy.
ReplyDeleteSad to have missed this.
ReplyDeleteMe too. It was a clever challenge.
DeleteYes, this was super fun! My whole family played here (after the fact) and had a blast trying to figure them out.
