It's not as easy as you may think. Give it a try. Some really tough questions.

5/10, 8/8 and 8/10... theat first one WAS tough.
-
9/10, 8/8, and 8/10. I goofed on the Beat The Clock question on the first one, and the Sweethearts and "opening blurb" questions on the final one.
-
6/10, 8/8, and 4/10. Ouchies on that last one.
-
8/10, 7/8 and 9/10. Thanks for the diversion.
-
9/10, 8/8, and 7/10.

7/10, 8/8, 8/10.
-
8/10, 8/8, 9/10. Now back to work...
-
6/10, 8/8, 10/10. Now back to class...
-
I only missed the Burt Reynolds question. I guess I'm quite something!
-
10/10, 8/8, 10/10.
I'm not bragging. I'm merely a freak of nature.
-
8/10, 8/8, 7/10. Now back to more recreational surfing, oh, hi, boss (face reddens in embarassment).

lol. My apologies for an acronym. But yes, I matched Mike's scores on the quizzes. The one question in there that really wasn't covered in a book or our forums was the one about "Win, Lose or Draw" but I made an educated guess based on the Bert/Burt's talking on the show.

9/10, 8/8, 9/10. When you're older, you'll know this stuff (and I should have gotten the two I missed).
These weren't bad at all, though the second one was much easier than the other two. A minor error: On the question in the first round when they talked about the person who both gave and received in the Winner's Circle, they said he picked up $10,000 for charity. I remember watching that originally, and stingy Bob Stewart would only pay him $1000.

8/10, 8/8, 9/10......damn, I need to get back to work

I'm kicking myself on the one I missed....The first game show host to award a million dollar prize.....I saw Regis's name and picked it.
Correct answer not revealed to spoil the quiz for others, but hey! I knocked your chances down.
-
8/10, 8/8, 7/10 (Could've had an 8/10 on the last one if I'd thought about the question regarding the show with 16 people instead of answering right away.)
-
10/10 9/10 and 7/10. Not bad for a teenager!
-
4/10 (Bleh), 8/8 (Possibly too easy), and 4/10 (Again).
-
10/10, 8/8, 9/10. Bombed the question about the maximum score on Tattletales.
-
7/10, 7/8, 10/10, good diversion, although I bet Peter Tomarken wishes he was one of the founders of GSN.

This one confused me...is that true? Was Tomarken a 'founder' of GSN or just their first on air personality?
The question made it sound like he pulled all those episodes out of his personal TV archive or something.

He was one of the on-air hosts for the network's first couple of years, alongside Laura Chambers and Steve Day(former Just Men/Caesar's Challenge announcer)

Thing is, there are errors a-plenty in the additional information given after the correct answer is supplied. These are some errors. There are others:
* Just Men debuted in 1982? BZZZZ! (1983)
* The $1,000,000 Chance Of A Lifetime ran from 1985-88? BZZZZ! (86-87)
* The top Tattletales money was $1750? Half a BZZZ! $1900 was possible if there was extra time.
* The $25,000 Pyramid was brought back in 1988 after being off for 26 weeks? BZZZZ! (13 weeks)
My scores: 8/10, 8/8, 9/10.

.800, 1.000, .800
Because Fractions Suck.

9/10, 8/8, 9/10

7/10, 8/8, 8/10.
10 bucks says Horan got all perfect scores.
-
8/10, 8/8, 7/10.
Because we care. or IS IT?
-
8/10, 8/8, 9/10. It's late.
-
8, 8, and 8. What can I say---I'm boring! :)
-
8 / 10, 8 / 8, and 10 / 10.
Thanks to Skynet74 (from your fellow Northeast Broadcasting School (RIP) graduate) and WJAR NBC 10 for the diversion.
Esoteric Eric, wondering just when TV station call letters will become completely obsolete (after searching turnto10.com to see if they were still using their calls from my New England days)

I actually think just the opposite....It's the channel numbers that will actually lose out. The channel numbers are, for the most part, still analog. Sure, for WHP-TV 21 (Harrisburg) with a station ID, you'll still see WHP-DT 4. But the day is soon coming when the analog channels will cease to exist, and I can't see all the stations changing their logos with their new DT Channel number. I think they will just be known with their call letters. Two PBS stations in Harrisburg and Scranton, WITF and WVIA, have been using their call letters exclusively for over 10 years with no reference to their channel #'s (33 and 44, respectively).
-
True, especially when the over-the-air channel number is different from where the local cable company/ies put it in the lineup.
I just realized that my comment had its basis in the "KISS 108 - HOT 94 - 96X"- etc. labels that radio stations have been using for years.
Still, here in the Puget Sound area, most people couldn't tell you that "WB22" (one example) is KTWB, even though those who have cable could tell you that it's cable position is Channel 10.
Esoteric Eric... Obgameshows: Can't help thinking that would make a good Seattle Street Smarts question, since WB22 now airs Smarts twice in late night (11 PM and 1 AM, sandwiching the gawdawful dating shows)
-
And I thought the government put a mandate out that all brodcast Tv stations must convert from analog to digital signals by 2006. Somehow, I don't see that happening anytime soon because HDTV is still a bit too expensive right now & they probably don't have enough converters available to make the transition.

A few stations might be going through such a transition already, but I found something odd about the ABC station in Battle Creek, MI. Officially, WOTV is still channel 41, but now it's calling itself WOTV 4, because it is channel 4 on every cable system that carries it. However, its DT channel number is 20.
WWMT 3 -> 2; WOOD 8 -> 7; WZZM 13 -> 39; WOTV 41 -> 20; WGVU 35 -> 10; WGVK 52 -> 5
ObGS: Sadly, PBS stations 35 and 52 don't carry Quizbusters. Matt's J! appearance marked the first time I saw what he looked like.

Actually, there are other stations that do *THAT*, too. I'm not sure where in NC (Charlotte, maybe?) but the station is 36 on the UHF dial, and calls itself "NBC 6", because that's where it's located on most of the cable systems, dial position 6.

You are, for a change, correct. And you're right, that deadline is looking kind of unrealistic because the public isn't exactly scamperign to Best Buy to snap up HDTV's when the cable companies are still being dicky with broadcasters about whose signals they will and will not carry.
Of course, it was the FCC who deregulated cable so that said dickyness could happen in the first place.
FCC, that's a well-made bed. Snuggle up.
