1.) According to episode 6. "Bobby's Acting Career," how many years did Bobby give himself to get an acting job.

2.) What's the line John Burns used to get Suzanne to go out with, and marry him.

3.) In the final episode with a plot, 112 "The Grand Gesture" who does Elaine give the money to?

4.) What's the name of the girl Louie had a crush on in highschool, as mentioned in episode 7. "The Highschool Reunion"?

5.) Who wrecked Cab 804 in episode 21?

6.) What happens to the race horse Jim bought for $10,000?

7.) Why was Latka ashamed of Simka in her first episode?

8.) In the same episode with Simka, what did Latka say was their song?

9.) In "I Wanna Be Around," who did Louie choose to stay in that room in the garage to survive a nuclear war.

10.) What show did Reverend Jim write an episode for involving aliens?

You did great Snoopy!

Adamantium · 03-09-2003, 12:08 PM

To Snoopy. When you answered #3 as Ann-Margaret, I didn't understand it. Until last night. That was the answer Lowell kept giving in an early episode of "Wings" when the gang was sitting around playing, some game, I forget the name of it.

Chocoholic · 03-09-2003, 06:36 PM

Yup, that's what I meant. I love that Wings episode. I can't remeber the actual name. I just refer to it as the Trivial Pursuit episode.

Just for the record it's episode 12. "Sports & Leisure"
But I had to look up the episode guide for that. I'm not trying to make you think I know that off the top of my head.

Chocoholic · 03-09-2003, 11:07 PM

I always have to go look up titles too. I think www.TVtome.com is a godesnd

Any more trivia coming up? I think trivia is fun

Sure. I'm currently thinking up questions for "NewsRadio", "Wings", "Chico and the Man" and more "Taxi". But I won't post them until tomorrow or the next day.

Jim Ignatowski: Or the one after that.

That line was taken from the episode "Bobby Doesn't Live Here Anymore"
