"Teevee? We Talk Some Teevee."

Admittedly the only time I enjoy Geekfight! Quiz Night is when the subject is to my liking.  This month (they were monthly, who knew) the subject was TV, possibly my 2nd best useless knowledge forte after Comics and before Movies.  Shocker of shockers, Lola wasn't able to join me, but I managed to grab the Coron People for at most participants and at least my de-facto audience for possible smart-ass answers.  (I've always said about the answers: when in doubt, make it funny.)



I regret calling for the one-time, double-point "Joker" option during the Cancelled Shows category when I did way better at Opening Theme Songs.  My "audience" seemed genuinely surprised I knew the tagline for The Outer Limits, the theme song of Perfect Strangers (only grew up watching it) Murder She Wrote's Jessica Fletcher, or how many episodes of Firefly were produced (14).  What is my brain doing with all this information?  I was almost useless in Police and Medical Dramas.

Three hours and several drinks later, we placed 5th --w/ me doing most of the heavy lifting-- w/c was fine.  It's possible the girl scorekeeper was annoyed by my multitude of smart-@$$ answers (at one point I wrote on our whiteboard "Ask us about shows we actually watch!"), but what the heck.  Had we won I've no idea what to do w/ a bottle of vodka.
