revision

exam time is upon us

The Teen is studying. . .

*cough*

so, your starters for ten:

1. which slightly bonkers radio sports show host from a Seattle based nuclear family sit-com appears as a learned but erring doctor in a non-comedy hospital show?

2. which learned but odd slightly bonkers doctor from a sit-com in disguise as a hospital show appears as a plumber in a Seattle based nuclear family sit-com?

3. which creepy radio show host slightly bonkers talent agent from a Seattle based nuclear family sit-com appears as a creepy clone in a show whose subtitle fluctuates from "the truth is out there" to "deny everything"?

4. which one of the pair Jeeves and Wooster appears as a slightly bonkers cynical pain ridden doctor in a non-comedy hospital show?

5. which slightly bonkers radio sports show host from a Seattle based nuclear family sit-com appears as a slightly bonkers character in a show whose subtitle fluctuates from "the truth is out there" to "deny everything"?

6. what is my children's new favourite hospital based tv show? (clue: it's a sit-com in disguise)

7. what is my children's new second favourite hospital based tv show? (clue: it's a non-comedy hospital show)

8. what is now no longer my children's favourite tv show? (clue: it's a Seattle based nuclear family sit-com)

9. which show whose subtitle fluctuates from "the truth is out there" to "deny everything" do I never get to watch because I'm always helping People of Various Sizes out with their homeworks?

10. which general intelligence quotient knowledge (UK based) tv show is hosted by someone slightly bonkers who used to play the role of a valet* (*a gentleman's gentleman) (in a UK based comedy show about the differences between the upper and working classes - for wont of a better description of J&W) to someone slightly bonkers who now plays the role of someone else slightly bonkers, a cynical pain ridden doctor, in a non-comedy hospital show (US based)?
.
ps: any comparison of the role of gentleman's person (read mother), loosely based on that of a butler come valet in J&W, and someone "slightly bonkers", to persons in my life, or indeed my good self, is purely circumstantial and totally unintentional

errata: The Teen, who is looking over my shoulder rather than pursue his own studies, says that he prefers House to Scrubs, so reverse numbers 6. and 7. (the opinions of his siblings are not valid in this exercise); he also denies that Scrubs is a sit-com; he has never seen an episode of J&W. . .

I was going to say Scrubs and House, but you've sort of said that yourself in the errata. Oh, and QI for no 10.

I don't watch TV myself, you understand.

Oh, and I would never dream of suggesting you're slightly bonkers.

hmmmm....this quiz was a bit brit slanted....smile....which makes sense considering where you actually live...

Mel said...

Darn it.

And I had all the answers.
(wrong, of course....LOL)

Well, congratulations to the Dave. And all I know of House is the music rocks.

Now, that means nothing cuz I have no clue what that means. LOL

(not one for background noise of the television type)

Mel said...

Oh geeze--himself got The X-Files and he knew it was House.

You're good! LOL
Or he is.

I, Like The View said...

. . .ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhbut did The Brit used to like Jeeves and Wooster?!



XXXXX

Mel said...

Nope. He wasn't a hard core fan of 'em.
Claims he wasn't that much of a television watcher-- Gee....wonder how that changed...LOL

k....wait....from one who never watches, someone who occasionally watches SEEMS like a 'television watcher', huh?

*shrugs*

I, Like The View said...

(the not being a great fan)
