Movies & TV Trivia Thread

[badotori]

Not sure if this has been attempted before in the Movies & TV section but let's give it a go regardless. As with other trivia threads:

Person A asks a Movie or TV-related question.

Person B (C, D etc.) provides an answer.

Once Person A or someone else confirms an answer provided is correct, the correct participant asks a question of their own.

Rinse, repeat.

If you feel the need to use Google, IMDB or other sites to get answers then I can't stop you. But, I would ask that you at least give other users a 24hr window in order to guess/solve it themselves before you post the answer here. Just gives people a chance and makes it more fun.

I'll start proceedings off with a easy one, just to get the ball rolling.

Q: In the TV series Futurama, what happens to Bender when a magnet is applied to his head?

Stay classy.

[TKz]

He starts singing folk tunes!

[badotori]

YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR!

All you, TKz.

[TKz]

Name three Joss Whedon alumni that have appeared in How I Met Your Mother! Not including Alyson Hannigan and Neil Patrick Harris.

[Jimmy]

Tom Lenk, Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker.

[TKz]

Oh, go for the easy ones Split. >_> I also would have accepted Harry Groner and Morena Baccarin! Go go go!

[Jimmy]

I'm going to bed now, so if someone can confirm the right answer - keep on going.

Name 2 of the 3 Television shows Quentin Tarantino has directed an episode for.

[FireDoughnut]

CSI and ER

[Gazz]

CSI and The X Files

[TKz]

ER is one of them? Do we need to be super specific about the second?

I know the other is CSI, but I have no idea which one.

[FireDoughnut]

The original CSI... And I think the third is an episode of SNL?

[TKz]

CSI and ER

Since Split is apparently off to bed, I have imdbed it and this is correct.

[Gazz]

Wikipedia is for losers FD.

[FireDoughnut]

Simple one...

In Scrubs, who played JD's dad?

[badotori]

John Ritter.

[FireDoughnut]

John Ritter.

Bingo bango!

[badotori]

I'm pretty sure there are a few ardent Whedonites on here, so this'll probably get answered quickly.

Q: What is the name of the band that performed the Buffy The Vampire Slayer theme tune?

[TKz]

Nerf Herder

[badotori]

Just so. The floor is yours.

[TKz]

I'd give up on the Whedon related ones if you don't want me and Split to become the only participants. >_>

This one may be a tough one to someone who isn't a big fan of one of the persons shows:

Who is the youngest person in network history to ever create his/her own series and run the production of it?

HINT: This person has run three different successful series, with at least one alumni (someone with lady parts) of one show appearing in one of the other shows. Extra points if you can name that lady!
