The TV Show Game! ['90s Edition]
-
There were a few of those that had me thinking for a good five minutes. One of them I just couldn't remember the name of.
-
Somebody told me to pick obscure shows nobody had heard of before. There were quite a few Australian-only shows that I considered, briefly, before throwing out. Nobody would have ever gotten those. Ship to Shore, oh my!
-
I got the first two instantly and I thought I was going to kick arse at this, but then I got hardly any more so I thought screw it.
-
I saw a TV show in there that made me not want to play this game.
-
8 correct. Not the best, but the first!
-
I think I got 11 right. One of those was a guess.
-
-
Isn't number 20 a recent show not a 90's show o.o Like started in 2005. Unless i'm wrong about what it is. But I'm pretty sure I know it.
-
What the dick, why haven't I gotten my score >:\
-
Damn you, Eric. Setting the bar so damned high.
-
#8 is my favorite show in the world! <3
I'm totally gonna beast this ish. 90s was the only time in my life when I actually watched television. :)
-
Guys I do have to sleep at some point. The earlier you guess, the earlier you get your score.
Wikipedia told me the original airing dates of all of these shows is between January 1 1990 and December 31 1999. You should be able to guess them anyway! :p
-
I knew maybe 11 or 12 instantly, and had some educated guesses on a few more.
-
I know probably 75% of them for sure :/
-
-
To cover up the fact that I didn't read the articles on Wikipedia when I searched for them, I've decided that any mistakes are actually me creating an element of lateral thinking. One of the pictures is apparently of an entirely different TV Show with a completely different nature, but both sharing the same name.
Whatever guys, I'm pretty sure you've all guessed it any way :monster:
Once again, direct your complaints to America and Wikipedia. It would've been so much easier if there were shows I knew. I would only have got maybe 8/25 if I had taken this, so you can see how unfamiliar I am with the subject material.
Keep the guesses coming though! We have a tight competition. I think there's about three points between the top 4 :excited:
-
15/25. I think I got all my educated guesses right, too. The rest I either didn't have a clue about (most of them), or would not have been able to come up with the name without some research.
-
-
I couldn't decide if #23 was this other show or this other show cuz the show they both have the same character. Whatever, both shows sucked. THE MOVIE WAS SUPERIOR!

I agree. The shows were too much gnarm and could never decide if they wanted to be serious or silly.
-
Just sent in my guesses. Are we getting any hints like last time?

8 correct and one pending. I'll try wild guessing the others. :love:
-
I'm waiting on my score, Dak.
-
I'm waiting on Julian's score, Dak.
-
Nobody is getting hints because I'm a bastard :colbert:
No I'm just kidding you. Number Six ran from 1995-96, only one season. It was critically acclaimed but was cancelled. That's pretty much all I know about it :monster: The star's last name was Greenwood (actor, not character).
Three is the next least guessed. It has a long and ridiculous title. I know nothing about it and the few people who have guessed it deserve to win by default. I thought it was never going to be guessed correctly.
-
19/25 :cool:

You taste in things is so bizarre!
-
-
So far Remon is the most improved!
-
Most improved? I got 4 the last time!
-
20/25, but pretty sure I'll be getting 21/25 since I was tricked into thinking #20 was from the 90s. HOW DARE THEE THY THOU!

Somehow I'm okay with that.
-
At least I'm most improved.
-
Del, you're most improved between games. Nobody could do as bad as you did first game :) But Remon's score has doubled since the first guess! :p
EDIT: Also since a lot of people have already given their answers, and I can't see too many more joining in, I will reveal the results in two-three days.
-
Two-three days? Is that like two three day periods? Six days? Or 2-3 days? The wording on that is confusing.
-
I type like I talk. "In two to three days" is what I mean. If I meant six days I would have said six days. :monster:
I'm bringing your supposed moment of glory forward, so be content.
-
Oh yeah
25/25
:smug::smug::smug::smug:
-
Man, wtf. Now there are three perfect scores?
-
Assuming none of you are lying? Can you trust them, Julian? Or are you one of those lying scumbags too?
...I think mafia got to me.
-
There can only be one!
Check me out, I'm getting my quotes in early.
-
In the event of a tie, bonus questions have already been chosen to decide the champion of this quiz. Don't get cocky now, you might find yourself pipped at the post!
-
Are the bonus questions going to be dealt like the movie question was where only one person is online and able to answer?
-
Actually, both people were online at the time. I even sent them messages and waited a few moments beforehand.
-
I must've been confused by his post then. Oh well.
-
I was thinking the same thing as Bunny.

Yeah, but can you come up with good ones for all 25?
-
His chocobo thing was yellow though so I figured he was active. How was I supposed to know he was afk? Telepathy? :erm:

You underestimate the amount of movie/tv show quotes I have at my disposal.

I might have left my laptop on when I left. Whoops. :p
I just want to clear up that I didn't actually care that I lost EVEN THOUGH I TOTALLY WOULD HAVE WON! The game was fun and I totally knew I was in the finale. :smug:
-
-
Quantity over quality, my boy! :monster:
Wait... :erm:
No, yeah, that's right! :D
-
CAN YOU FEEL IT?
Here we go. The big reveal where a champion is crowned! Who had the most comprehensive knowledge of '90s TV Shows to the point where they could immediately spot I had smurfed up? WE'LL FIND OUT IN THIS EPISODE.
I'll be revealing the answers one at a time. I don't mind if there's no fanfare between them, and don't expect maths like Shiny gave ya. I'll give you rough estimates fgj.
So first up, we'll start with Number One!
I picked an image that didn't contain any of the main characters because I wanted to smurf with ya :jess: Number One was actually Disney's Recess. I took Recess as an answer because if I'm picky that I get faulted :p
Most of you got that right. Only a few slipped up, and probably because of my prank :D
-
I have never heard of that show in my life.
-
And at this point I would like to award the Golden Turd Award for not quite doing as well as everyone else to Ranztien who scored a delicious 9/25. Congratulations! That's still a good showing anyway!
http://www.splitreason.com/blog/img/goldenturd.gif
-
Heh. I got an award. :smug:
-
Next up I will continue numerically because I'm boring like that, we have Stargate SG-1 at Number Two! One of my favourite sci-fi shows growing up, I just had to include it! No Daniel Jackson in the image though, it was too hard to find a good 'un!
About half of you got it right :( You're lucky I didn't pick the image of a couple blurry guys standing in a non-descript corridor!
-
Next placing was Depression Moon, who got a mighty 10/25! As a reward for your success, you get the "I beat Rantzien" stick. Enjoy it~
http://richardwiseman.files.wordpres...1/01/stick.jpg
I'll skip right along to Number TWENTY FIVE now. Didn't see that coming, didja? 25 is none other than 3rd Rock from the Sun! Variations on spelling etc were all accepted. Roughly three-quarters of you got that one!
-
Number Twenty Four is a strange little cartoon I like to call Aaahh!! Real Monsters! All I remember about this cartoon is it being weird and probably gross. I dunno, but it was cool nonetheless!
Not many of you got it though :( It seems those crazy monsters never made it onto your TV screens D:
-
I'll go backwards once more, to Number Twenty Three! Now I purposely picked a tough image for this one, because I thought it would be too obvious otherwise! It was Angel to those of you playing at home! My other idea was to get a shot with Buffy in there to completely smurf with you guys :jess:
-
Coming in at Number Ten is The Magnificent Seven. Never heard of it myself, but then neither had most of you! I thought a full cast line up might help some guys, or at least that amish cowboy fella. What's his deal, anyone?
Next runner up was Mr Blues Agent with a meaty 12/25. Halfway, we'll call it, and as a prize, you get a lovely half glass of water. Whether it's half full or half empty is up to you!
http://designthinking.ideo.com/wp-co...full-glass.jpg
-
Number Eleven was good ol' Law and Order. Didn't the old guy and the black guy give it away? What do you mean there's one of those in all of them shows? Oh well, better luck next time! (But seriously are all these shows just clones of each other? CSI and L&O need to sit down and discuss this.)
OH WHAT'S THIS A DOUBLE REVEAL? I'm getting lazy because I picked a bad time to reveal and nobody is here. So have Number Twelve too, which just so happens to be (The) King of Queens. I love the old man in that show, especially that one time he started a business with that kid. :monster:
-
Number Three, ladies and gentlemen, was Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills. Never heard of it? Well neither have I. What the smurf kind of show is it, anyway? I suppose exactly what it says on the tin.
I thought nobody would've heard of it. But three of you had. THREE OF YOU ARE smurfING CRAZY. No prizes for guessing which three.
Which brings me to our next runner up. Give it up for Levian and his score of 13! Unlucky for some, but our dear Levian has managed to win himself this delightful bear-monkey-thing!
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1371/...07b55b480e.jpg
That's what comes up if you search for "slightly better than half" in Google images. Wicked.
-
Lucky lucky Four Number Four here we go it's the show known as Two Guys, (and) A Girl (and a Pizza Place). I gave full marks for both answers because really, I was pissed when I heard they killed off the pizza place. That was my favourite character! He was like, dude, I'm a pizza place.
Most of you got that one, which is good. I like to see you young folk taking an interest in television shows. While we're at it, how about another one?
Number Five do a jive let's dance because this show's live! No idea what I'm on about now, but this show is Rocko's Modern Life. I remember he had the worst luck. Poor guy. And those sneakers must be so very old, he wore them everywhere.
I think nearly all of you got that one right, too. So good job on supporting poor ol' Rocko.
-
Number Six right here. It was a hard one. Between you and me, I'd never heard of it, nor was I sure that image was even of the show. It was tough to find anything on it at all! But a handful of you got it, after I gave you a hint. So good job, folks.
Next up we have Number Seven and The Nanny. Her voice still haunts me. And her outfits. Oh god no make it stop. A lot of you knew it too. Does her voice echo in your head too? :(
-
Can't believe I got The Nanny right. I've seen like a half episode of it, I think.
Edit: Also you never said what #6 was xD
-
Our next runner up is Mr Raistlin. He scored a sound 15/25 on the quiz, and that's an alright job in my books. Probably more than I would've gotten!
As a reward for his score falling in the middle of nowhere, he gets an island in the middle of nowhere. Happy holidays, Raist!
http://m-s-y.net/instrmx/wordpress/w...-nowhere-7.jpg
By the way, the next show to be revealed is Number Eight, which is Strangers with Candy. This was a submission by none other than Lusty Justy. I'm pretty sure that image is from the '06 movie, but you guys guessed it anyway. And about half of you got it, too, which is pretty impressive!
-
Number Nine! OH NUMBER NINE. It was Power Rangers, or as it seems to prefer, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Man this show was the tits. We used to be Power Rangers at school and beat up on the giant robots coming to destroy earth. Really they were just fat kids who we didn't like, but it was still awesome.
I jest. I was the one who got bullied. I have severe mental scarring from it. Maybe. That's what my invisible friend reckons anyway.
OH MAN I JUST REMEMBERED. Once I was playing Power Rangers with my cousin and he was like "dude man I need a sword it'll be smurfing awesome" so five year old him and five year old me were like "YEAH" until he cut my face with a butter knife. Cut me deep.
-
Up next we have Number Thirteen and Judge Judy. She lays the beatdown on folks. I used to watch this every afternoon after school and promised I'd never be made to look as dickish as half the people she has on there. It's like, what are you completely mental or just slightly? Some of the claims too, oh man. I'm sure Raistlin would just die.
Our next highest scorer was DMKA! For managing a smooth 18/25, I'm awarding you this shiny rock! If it comes down to it, you can bash the competition in the face and win the next one!
http://hildablue.files.wordpress.com.../w5465-lrg.jpg
-
Number Fourteen is JAG. It used to air at 7:30 so 7yo Jiro got to stay up past his 7:30 bedtime so he could watch JAG. It was a pretty cool show, and one of our competitors confessed to have a huge crush on Catherine Bell! I won't say who though :shifty:
Tim the Toolman is in at Number Fifteen with Home Improvement. I used to just watch the intro where the kid is jumping like he's in a game. I like games. Can you tell? But there's also that guy who hides his face. Wilson or Woodrow or something. You know who I mean! One of our players got this one spectacularly wrong but I almost gave him/her points anyway. I mean it was pretty hilarious. (ilu;))
-
Getting close to the end now, and we have Number Twenty Two! Very few of you got this one right. I thought a cast shot might have helped, but to be fair, I didn't have a clue either! It was, of course, Babylon 5. Apparently a marvellous sci-fi show, so you/we should probably check it out IF INTERESTED :D
We have a tie for our next runners up. Coming in at 19/25 we have both Wolf Kanno and delightful Del Murder! Mad props for turning his game around, old Delly boy. Both of you get to take home this wonderful Kit Kat bar!
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t51SYgxZ3X...g1_kitkat3.jpg
I may or may not have sampled them. Just to make sure they were safe, of course.
-
I guessed Friends for #15 :shobon: It kind of sort of looked like Jennifer Aniston on the left and she's the only actor I know was in that show :riiight:
-
Twenty One now, and it's Charmed. Attractive witches is usually a plus as far as things go, so it wasn't too shabby a show. But then it got confusing and I lost interest because people kept dying so I was like w/e trevor. Surprisingly it was only guessed by about half, maybe three quarters of you. I thought it would've been better known for some reason.
Let's look at Twenty. Oh Twenty. The image has nothing to do with the show I was meant to be looking for. But do you know what? Everybody got it. I'm pretty sure even lovely Rantzien got it and it probably never aired in poor Sweden. So well done it was all a trick and Twenty was of course The Closer. The image contains a much better program than the other one, trust me.
-
Number Nineteen here we are and he is Dawson's Creek. My ma watched this once upon a time. I have no idea if it's any good. I bet they got into all sorts of teenage drama llama. But a fair few of you guessed it, so it mustn't have been too bad after all!
Our next runner up is Remon! Scoring an impressive 21/25 (thank you for picking up my miscalc. too btw), Remon will be taking home this lovely gold watch valued at something ridiculous! It's worth so much you'll hide it away rather than risk scratching the bastard of a thing!
http://static4.avelleassets.com/prod...ront_large.jpg
-
Number Sixteen is, as many of you weren't aware, Highlander. Now some people guessed The Raven and I have no idea whether or not you're more correct, but I guess you are so give yourselves a demeaning pat on the back. Good job :) My favourite answer by far was Del's Siamese Triplets Show. Oh you :p
We have another tie! You guys are painful, goddamn having to find nice prizes for you all. Both Shiny and fire_of_avalon scored 22/25, so very nearly max points. As a prize, you guys can share this crappy little trophy nobody really cares about.
http://hartshaw.files.wordpress.com/...gue-trophy.jpg
-
I'm pretty sure I didn't guess at #20!
On a sidenote, we have cable in Sweden too, and we're not completely cut off from the rest of the world. I just haven't been much for TV shows until pretty recently :p
-
Oh Seventeen you bother. I knew you weren't a '90s show but I just couldn't be assed finding another one. Besides, there was a sequel to everybody's favourite Get Smart where Maxwell Smart's kid is the star and gets into even more of a mess while Smart heads up CONTROL. But would anyone have recognised that? No. So '60s slipped in. A 6 and a 9 look the same you know.
The very last show, Number Eighteen. We all know and love The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped turned upside down so if you'd like to take a minute just sit right there and I'll tell ya'll the story bout how I became the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. From memory so lay off alright geez :colbert:
But there's still a winner to be announced?! WHO WON?! Well, nobody did. Because three mothersmurfers decided to tie it all up. So Bunny, NorthernChaosGod and Guardian XIII have got like, a day and a bit to get their asses in here and guess my three bonus questions.
Btw they got perfect scores. To reward them:
http://www.charlieglickman.com/wp-co...iny-violin.jpg
-
My apologies Rantzien, I thought you'd gotten #20 anyway! Also I like pretending there's somewhere more isolated than Australia, it's nice :jess:
Okay, bonus questions! I have three of them because I knew this :bou::bou::bou::bou: would happen. Masterful hint for you guys: Two are Australian television shows and one is British. That should aid you lots :monster:
One

Two
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...ame/Bonus2.jpg
Three
http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/d...ame/Bonus3.jpg
And away we go~ Same as before, Mognet me your answers and person with them most right wins (in the event of a tie, first in best dressed suckers)
-
Posted. If NCG or G13 get a perfect score on this they are cheaters.
-
How many did you get Bun Bun? :bigsmile:
-
Here are my answers:
One: Not Another Talking Animal Show
Two: The One Sad Black Girl: A Lifetime Television Special produced by Tyler Perry
Three: I'm Supposed to be a Koala But I Dunno What the Thing in the Gold Pants is by the makers of Vegetales

-
All of contestants have guessed! DO YOU KNOW WHO WON? I will make this needlessly painful so I can score a few extra posts.
-
The Third Show was The Adventures of Blinky Bill! All of our competitors got that right.
And so, in third place we have Guardian XIII! First in on the buzzer, I thought Guardian XIII had it secured and was taking top prize. But the others managed to one-up him it seems!
As a consolation prize, you get your very own Mario Kart!
http://media.techeblog.com/images/mariokart_2.jpg
-
Oh this is so exciting! :hyper:
Edit: Nvm... balls. :|
-
The second show was one that I thought nobody would get. Once again I even picked none main characters to try and throw you off the scent. WHEN I TRY AND SCREW YOU OVER, YOU GUYS JUST COME BACK STRONGER. I swear they are all mental. Somebody needs to put these three into rehab, as they all got it right! It was, of course, The Worst Witch.
Which brings us to the first show, and that is a very special one to Australians. It is Skippy: Adventures in Bushtown, the animated sequel to popular television show Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. It's mother smurfin Skippy, bitches.
-
In SECOND PLACE, with a mighty 3/3 effort, we have lovable BUN BUN Bunny! He stole second place off Guardian XIII by a mere 9 seconds!! But it just wasn't enough to take top spot.
For coming second, you get a date with Scarlett Johansson.

Dear god! NCG can keep his :bou::bou::bou::bou:ty colored title, Bunny just won!
Also I have proof NCG cheated andmeandBunnyconspiredagainsthimwithourlastminuteanswers. :shifty:
-
Which means our winner is super nerd NorthernChaosGod who scored 3/3 just two hours before the others did. What did I say, first in, best dressed :shobon:
For an outstanding effort that really didn't prove he was better than the others, just faster, NCG gets to take home his very own Emmy Award, plus his very own sports car!

No refunds on prizes, guys. Any protests can be lodged to Loony BoB and will be dealt with in pie chart form.
Thank you to everyone who participated and congratulations to all our winners. Keep an eye out early next month in General Gaming when Eyes on Final Fantasy does '80s Gaming: The QUIZ
-
What are your procedures in dealing with cheaters?
-
-
SO i herd there waz cheetin'. I don't really care, you guys are all losers in my book :hahaha: but Bunny deserves special recognition for getting the most correct in one guess. So Bunny, don't cut yourself k bro?
You are the minor premier. CONGRATULATIONS now shuddapa your face :)
-
"Congratulations on winning but still losing!"
:|
-
Mwahahahahaha!
Since Bunny doesn't want his date, can I have it?
-
No, Julian must lose. There will be no peace between our people until it is so.
-
MOD ABUSE
Get out of my posts. :mad2:
-
Showing great courage, Bunny guessed 25/25 and 3/3. You are a national hero, Sir Bunny Qwopinstein.

Thanks Jiro for a nice show and well done you guys. You must all watch a crapload of TV. :shobon:
-
It was my pleasure! Thank you again for participating, and I hope you like your trophy Mr Rantzien. I hope further quizzes play more to your strengths (send me a mognet message with a theme you would be good at and I'll see what I can do ;))!
Oh yeah, about that NCG guy. To be honest, cheating doesn't really exist imo. He just used his resources to his advantage. But you should all stone him anyway, just to make you feel better :)
-
Whoa I got myself a new watch. I was getting tired of my plastic red one :p

So it not about having fun, it's about getting everyone to hate you? I'll remember that in the next game.
