The Trivia Booklet

[Ms_Lilacs]

Alrighy then, I got one of them Trivia Booklets.
It came with my Second Season GAH DVD set.
And it is so nice to get these little extra along with the DVDs.

I just have one little problem with a question in the book...
Does anyone know whom to contact regarding Question 4?
Because I want to know what episode that the song
'Eve of Destruction' is in!
If they are going to put the question in,
then I'd expect the song to be there.

Just wondering...perhaps they can explain it...

[enovak]

Perhaps in the universe that GAH takes place, that song IS 'Eve of Destruction'. ;D

[greenguy]

I can explain, because I wrote the questions included in the booklet. The 2nd season set was in production before the 1st season was released. When I was contacted, Anchor Bay had 2 requests. One, they wanted questions that fit within the 2nd season and two, they pretty much needed them right away. So I knocked them out quickly and sent them off to the company within a day. When I included the question that mentions Eve of Destruction, I had no idea the covers were going to be replaced. Had the 1st season already been out, and I had been aware I never would have included a question that dealt with a song that would no longer appear in the episode. I wanted to included a couple of questions from Operation: Spoilsport, since I'm well aware it's a fan favorite. But in this case it came back to bite me in the green butt...lol

While you likely would have changed the question if you knew the soundtrack issues, I like it better this way -- don't assist the powers-that-be in rewriting history! Young fans will express puzzlement over that trivia question for years to come, and the true story WILL be told!

[Ms_Lilacs]

Well, the Trivia Booklet was still a wonderful idea.
And it would be such an honor to assist in putting
something like that together for the the Greatest show ever!

So if the 'Eve' question was included, wouldn't Anchor Bay
or whoever printed it would've caught that?
Why didn't they say. 'oh wait, this song was taken out'
and use another question.
Or they could've noticed that question
and put the song back into the show.
It's not your fault Greenguy, but rather poor proof-reading.

Wow! I hadn't realized how involved you are/were with the "powers that be" in TGAH land. That's cool! I want your autograph! LOL! Who cares if the questions are not perfectly in sync...Ralph was never perfectly in sync!

[jimk]

Well, I doubt (alas) that anyone at GAH is that well-versed in the show -- Cannell supplied them with the altered masters, I assume, and they are dutifully making theproduct -- but you would think they'd bring in a quality-control person at some level who actually knows the show! I woulda told them the last 10 minutes are missing from a Silk Stalkings episode for free!

[scenario]

Would you guys mind typing up the trivia questions here? I would really like to read them, especially the Don Cervantes one, because the sets I have encountered simply do not have that booklet, for whatever reason.

Is there an explanation on why the booklet is missing from so many sets?

I like that way of thinking jimk, never thought of it like that.

lol...well not that involved. I'm not hooked up with anyone at Cannell Productions. I have only been contacted by Anchor Bay. Believe me, it was a honor to make a small contribution to the 1st and 2nd season sets.

Sure here they are, minus the answers. I figure you'd like to try your own chance at answering them.

1. Ralph used the suit to play baseball for what team?


2. What was Maxwell's unit in the Korean war?

3. How many miles is it to Palmdale before Ralph & Bill pass the re-animated corpse of Sgt. Jensen in Operation: Spoilsport?

4. What radio station do the greenguy's use to warn Ralph with the song Eve Of Destruction?

5. To use the telekinesis powers of the suit, Ralph thinks of what?

6. Name the small town the Road Hogs take over in the episode Hog Wild.

7. Who plays the part of the biker that Maxwell comendeers the motorcycle from in Classical Gas?

8. In The Beast In The Black, what happens to Maxwell's eyes when he becomes posessed?

9. Where is the only place the suit doesn't work on Ralph?

10. Name Maxwell's original FBI partner.

11. When Ralph is stricken with amnesia in Train of Thought, how does Maxwell convince him the suit works?

12. Ralph uses what new power to save Pam in Now You See It?

13. In The Hand-Painted Thai, brain-washed agent Tim Lighter hi-jacks a school bus full of Ralph's students. What does Paco use as a weapon to subdue the out of control agent?

14. In Just Another Three-Ring Circus, as a reprimand for destroying so many government issued cars, what type of vehicle is Maxwell given?

15. What is annoying IRS agent Byron Bigsby's nickname?

16. In what episode do we learn that Maxwell was previously married?


As for the missing booklet, I can only assume a screw up occured while a large number of sets were packed.

What are the correct answers to some of these questions?

3. How many miles is it to Palmdale before Ralph & Bill pass the re-animated corpse of Sgt. Jensen in Operation: Spoilsport?

I don't recall the answer to this one.
