Questions on "Question The Kids" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"Question The Kids," as you probably all know, was the quiz show Cindy was on in "You Can't Win 'Em All." Jack1000 mentioned that some more footage from the quiz show was restored to the DVD. I remember the following were characteristics of the questions from "QTK" on the TVLand version from about a month ago:

1. Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg Address ("Four score and seven years ago ...")

2. Q: What is the capital of Louisiana? A: Baton Rouge (Marcia could tell you!)

3. how a word ending in "ly" was used in a sentence (adverb)

For those who have the DVD, or if I forgot any from TVLand's version, were there any others? Or was there just more footage of Cindy looking into the camera with "televisionitis" (as Mike put it!)?

The others are:

4. Spell the word "throughfare" (Not sure of the exact spelling) and

5. How many pecks are in a bushall? (Answer 4)

Jack

PS. There are a couple other small lines, but I can't think of them off hand.

Just a trivia note about "Question the Kids": The game show host was played by Christopher Knight's father. I didn't know this until I had read Barry Williams' "Growing Up Brady" book.

I've never heard of "throughfare", but I have heard of thoroughfares. At least that's the first word to pop into my mind.

Thoroughfare. T-H-O-R-O-U-G-H-F-A-R-E. Thoroughfare.

And the host's name was Monty Marshall, a combination of two of the most popular game show hosts at the time, Monty Hall (Let's Make a Deal) and Peter Marshall (Hollywood Squares).

I thought it was cheap that they couldn't set up some kind of buzzer for the kids to use. Raising their hand? That just doesn't seem like a good way to signal you know the answer.

Good point. I wondered how the host was suppose to figure out who had their hand raised first...and then with two panels on either side of him??? ridiculous.
