So I'm taking somebody's basement spot. Whatever, pull your thong out of your bahonka and deal with it....


Spoiler
1970s
"The Last Hurrah"

Are the following TV characters dead or alive? (two points each)
(Remember: You need to indicate if the character was killed off during the normal run of the show, not the current status of the actor):

1. Col. Henry Blake (M*A*S*H, played by McLean Stevensen)

Dead

Back before the internet, when spoilers could actually be avoided

2. James Evans ("Good Times", played by John Amos)

Dead

He either wanted bigger money or a bigger role, which is always bad for a character's health....

3. Detective Phil Fish ("Barney Miller", played by Abe Vigoda)

Alive

Wasn't there a spin off with Bernice?

4. Joan Bradford ("Eight is Enough", played by Diana Hyland)

Dead

Don't know, but I'm just basing it off of the actress' early demise

5. Chuckles the Clown ("The Mary Tyler Moore Show", played by Richard Shaal)

Dead

6. Doug Lawrence (The father on "Family", played by James Broderick)

Alive

7. Grandpa (Zeb) Walton ("The Waltons", played by Will Geer)

Alive

Blah, I had this as dead, but I actually went back and read your instruction, and I think his death was in a tv movie, hence the 'normal run of the show'. I'm going to pissed if this is wrong.

Note 1: "Yes" is not an acceptable response
Note 2: It's the character, not the actor


1970s/1980s
And now, a word from our sponsors:


8. A veteran, Oscar-winning actor delivered the line, "Don't leave home without them!" in a series of commercials in the 70s and 80s. Two points each.

Name the actor.

At first I put Telly Savalas, but he was Player's Club...

Name the product.

1970s/1980s
Spelling Bee (three points):

9. Which of these was not an Aaron Spelling-produced shows:

a. Charlie's Angels
b. Dallas
c. Hotel
d. Starsky and Hutch

I know it's mostly series that he's known for, but Satan's School for Girls and Death at Love House were two of my favorites. Hey I was a kid, I didn't know for cheese!


1990s
Doctor in the House!

Match the TV doctor to the correct 90s show found in the list below. Two points each.

10. Dr. Kate Austin

Boston

Which show doesn't belong?

Dharma and Greg

Bonus: Name the setting of the outlier.

And I don't take my own advice, because I was wondering why there were so many Bostons...ha!


2000s
Special Guest Star
15. After the death of star John Ritter at the start Season 2 of 8 Simple Rules, a veteran TV actor was brought to play the grandfather, Jim Egan, giving the show life for two more seasons.

Name the actor who "replaced" John Ritter. (four points)

James Garner

I don't know why I think this, since I didn't watch this much. Maybe just because of the character's name....

Bonus: Name the network. (one point)

ABC


2010s
Swan Song

Match these recent series finale episode titles/dates to the correct series (two points each):
16. Crossfire/May 16, 2016

None. I'd rather read political threads.

I probably shouldn't vote, since I rarely even know if there's a game unless a little birdie tell me, so I'll vote twice to make up for it. If you do one of these, somebody tell me and I promist to come on and play!

You're very welcome. It's a lot of work, but I love the research. I had some material left from Prime Time on the previous Bored, so I decided to fire it up again. I would have loved it to go another week or two, but all games must end.

Oddly enough, if I were a player, I'd be middle of the pack at best.
