Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Thats who I was looking for! Well she's an assistant host, anyway. LOL I couldn't very well say "letter-turning assistant." :rotfl: Like that wouldn't have given it away. :biggrin: Anyway, you are correct! :arms: Very well done! |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE :lol9: I guess not. Television What was the name of the character on the Fat Albert show who always wore the hat part way down his face? (And just for the record although this show initially started running in the '70s it did carry over into the '80s.) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Would that have been Dumb Donald?? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE It was indeed he! Good job, Jess. :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Excellent! :thumbsup: Catchall What popular video game series debuted in 1988 that centers around a popular American sport? :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Would that be Double Dare? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Nope, sorry that's not what I'm looking for. Remember it's a VIDEO Game and one based on a specific Sport. :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Can't say I ever heard of it (which by itself is not surprising :)), but I think you are looking for Madden NFL, based of course on American football. |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE And you would be correct, Hels!! :arms: It's a pretty popular video game in the US and there is even a "curse" related to being the player on the cover. :winky: Nice job! You're up. :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Funny article about that 'curse' :lol: SPORTS Looking at the years 1980-1989, what do on the one hand Reference Point and Nashwan, and on the other hand Pleasant Colony, Swale, Alysheba, Risen Star and Sunday Silence have in common? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Not quite sure what answer you're looking for exactly so I'll just give you what I got: It seems they're all triple crown wnners in horse racing; Reference Point and Nashwan from the English Triple Crown and Pleasant Colony, Swale, Alysheba, Risen Star, and Sunday Silence from the American Triple Crown. |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE almost, but your answer isn't complete yet...... :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE They were all double winners within their respective year of winning? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Yep :jossun: I wanted to make a question about racehorses, if only because they always have 'interesting' names :lol:, so I was hoping for a real winner. But two out of three was the best they could do in the 80's...... Your turn! |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Sweet! Talk about a gamble! I figured worse case scenario I'd be off and someone would typically come in and steal it from me. :lol: Music What Grammy-award winning band disbanded in the mid '80s only to be reformed by a couple of the members in the late '90s? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Really not giving us much to go on, are you, hun? :lol9: I'm really struggling to find anything and have resorted to searching the Grammy winner lists. :rotfl: But I haven't found much of anything so I'm going to just make a random guess and hope for a hint later. :winky: Maybe Survivor?? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE No, it's not Survivor and I did forget a bit of info so here it is: Music What 1983 Grammy-award winning band started in the late '70s, disbanded in the mid '80s only to be reformed by a couple of the members in the late '90s? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Ok, I'm still not getting much on this but maybe... The Police?? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Nope. :winky: As usual, :google: is your bestest friend!! |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Well google maybe your bestest friend, but it's not doing much for me at the moment. :rotfl: But here's another guess: Men at Work?? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE You see? :google: is your bestest friend after all!! That's the answer. Good job, Jess. :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Well I dunno about that since I found the answer on wiki. :rotfl: But anways... :winky: Catchall What year did Walt Disney enter the home video market? And how many titles did they release? And for a Bonus: List three of the titles they released in the first batch. :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Disney first entered the home video market on march 4, 1980 with the release of 13 titles including such all-time greats as - 'Pete's Dragon', - 'The Black Hole', - 'The Love Bug', - 'Escape to Witch Mountain', - 'Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier', - '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea', - 'Bedknobs and Broomsticks', - 'The North Avenue Irregulars', - 'The Apple Dumpling Gang', and - 'Hot Lead and Cold Feet' makes you wonder how they succeeded :lol:! |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE And you would be correct, Hels! :arms: Nice job! |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Thank you :)! Actually, after looking up those movies, i can see why they would do OK as home video's, but at first sight I thought them a bit obscure....;) Politics With the Clinton/Obama race coming to an end, we now know there will be either a female or an African American presidential candidate this year. But who, in the 80's, was both the first woman and the first African American to get her name on the ballot in all 50 American states, and in D.C.? Bonus points for the name of her party and the total number of votes she got ;) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Would that be Lenora B. Fulani who ran as the candidate for the New Alliance Party. She received 0.2% of the vote, or almost a quarter of a million votes. |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE That's correct :jossun:! And though it may seem insignificant, that number of votes in 1988 still stands as the record for highest number of votes by any woman running for president of the United States...... Your turn again ;) Spoiler: |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Cool! That was really interesting as I never even heard about any of that. Television On the sitcom Kate & Ali, what were the names of their children? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Would their names be Jenny, Chip and Emma? :jossun: |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Yes, m'darling, it would. :) |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Music What industrial rock band formed in 1988 and only has one official member who is solely responsible for the bands direction? This band is still active today. |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Would that be Nine Inch Nails? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Yup, that would be correct! :nodder: |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Cool! :) Music What Pat Benatar video featured women of the night, including Pat, who broke out in dance when confronting their ... procurer of customers at the end of it? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE That could well be 'Love Is a Battlefield' (1983) ;) Spoiler: |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Wow!! I had a dress just like that back then!!! ... j/k :lol: That was a great trip back, Hels. Thanks for the vid. Oh, and you're right, btw!! :) |

Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE Well, okay then - get-up :lol: Would that talkshow be The Oprah Winfrey show? |
Re: 80's TRIVIA CHALLENGE It is - might be worthwhile trying to reserve a ticket for that last show, see if she is going to give away cars or helicopters or so to the audience :lol: You're up :jossun: |
