• RQFTCIFFF12 Game 4, Rounds 4,6: CanPremiers, spinoffs

    From Mark Brader@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 15 02:04:25 2022
    These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-02-13,
    and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
    by members of Footloose and Firkin Free, but have been reformatted
    and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. I will reveal the
    correct answers in about 3 days.

    For further information, including an explanation of the """ notation
    that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20 companion posting
    on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

    It's not working for me either now. Feel free to keep trying as long
    as nobody has posted answers for this round.

    but, given the topic, I doubt I
    would have gotten any of the answers anyway. I hope I didn't get any
    right the last time this quiz was posted.

    In fact, you were the one who scored 8 points and made the round count
    for everybody else!

    * Game 4, Round 6 - Entertainment - TV Spinoffs

    We name the spinoff, and you give us the original program.

    1. "The Jeffersons".

    "All in the Family". 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

    2. "Angel".

    "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

    3. "Mama's Family".

    "The Carol Burnett Show". 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

    6. "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service".

    "JAG". I scored "Jaguar" as almost correct. 4 for Joshua
    and Dan Tilque.

    8. "Phyllis".

    "Mary Tyler Moore Show". 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

    it's complicated. 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.

    10. "The Simpsons".

    "The Tracey Ullman Show". 4 for Dan Blum and Joshua.
