Andrea is obsessed with television. She can't find anyone at home to talk about it so being in the Green Room is like being with a therapy group.

Andrea used to pretend she was one of them. Meredith asks which one, to which Andrea replied, "Sometimes I was the smart one and sometimes I wanted to be the pretty one so we alternated."

$500 - What would be the title of "Leave it to Beaver" if it featured the lead character's given name?

(Audience sings:
"Here we come
Walkin' down the street.
We get the funniest looks from
Ev'ry one we meet.")

Andrea completes the song with the line, "Hey, hey, we're the Monkees!" Meredith says to let her read the answers first. Andrea is very excited.

One thing I've noticed is that the contestants' occupations aren't mentioned much.

$200 - The female protagonist of the '80s sitcom "Out of This World" was half-human, half what?

A - mermaid
B - elf
C - space alien
D - vampire

Never heard of the show but the title makes the answer obvious.

Meredith says that the next question is the TV theme song question - she will read the question and she and the audience will sing the words.

(Audience sings:

Ev'ry one we meet.")

Andrea completes the song with the line, "Hey, hey, we're the Monkees!" Meredith says to let her read the answers first. Andrea is very excited.

This was funny, and I'm surprised other contestants didn't do the same.

$4K - On "Batman", the secret switch used to access the Batcave is hidden in a bust of what famous man?

A - Julius Caesar
B - Albert Einstein
C - Ludwig van Beethoven
D - William Shakespeare

I wasn't 100% sure but I seem to remember the bust having a ruffled collar and a Van Dyke type of beard, which points to Shakespeare being the right answer. I'd have gone with that answer in the Hot Seat.

That was a pretty brutal audience split.

Yeah, and what about the audience? First, I wonder if they have the chance to practice during a commercial break or something, since a lot of them might not recognize the tune immediately from the first line. But then, having gotten into it, how do you stop there from being at least a handful of folks who continue singing the spoiler line?

Yep. And it just goes to show that these TV questions are undervalued, compared to what they'd be worth on a regular episode.
