Well, the USA has quite a task ahead of them. Morticia was able to polish off all the answers to the UK’s questions yesterday. She says this is down to being forced to watch crap TV by her mother, but this is a woman who has professed a love for the Archers so it’s pretty established she has a taste for shit programs allready. I suspect it was in fact Morticia forcing the rest of her family to watch You Bet.
Anyway, it’s the US teams turn now. And as this is the last in the series and the score is one all, there is everything left to play for. The USA has to identify all ten of the theme tunes in less than three hours fifty eight minutes or else loose the trophy to the mighty Brits. You can almost cut the tension with a knife.
Here we go:
Tune 1
Tune 2
Tune 3
Tune 4
Tune 5
Tune 6
Tune 7
Tune 8
Tune 9
Tune 10

no, # 5 is “after M.A.S.H.” – SORRY TEAM USA!

Lise M – You’re right on them all except number 5
So correct answers so far:

3: This Old House
4: ???
5: ???
6: Taxi
7: Manimal
8: ???
9: ???

Thats an outrageous slur sir, if I’d had my way we’d have watched nothing but The Addams Family and The Munsters. However you are spot on about the Archers – its become so tediously predictable recently that I tend to read online summaries of whats happened rather than actually bother to listen to it. The sooner most of the inhabitants of Ambridge drown in a slurry pit – the happier I’ll be.
PS I only recognised Taxi and Perry Mason.
I recognised Manimal, Smallville and Taxi and I know number 4 *does the smug dance*
8 and 9 are really, really bugging me though. I know I know them. I await the full answers eagerly (but not too eagerly, we Brits have to win this one :) )

4: Blue Thunder (Toss up between Airwolf & Blue Thunder Both fabulous Helicopter shows. Okay Simon & Simon was pretty cool too!)
9: Everyone knows ALF, the best muppet alien around!!
5: I know it but just cant grab it!
8: When someone gets this I know I will hit pound my head against the table!
:)
Jeff Ss last blog post..Well Okay!!!
Is #8 Rugrats?
JJ Daddy-Os last blog post..Song I can’t get out of my head #2 – "The Rip" by Portishead
I go two. And I use to watch Alf, he reminded me of my history teacher.
Jo Beaufoixs last blog post..Proud Mummy moment and someone worth a visit
Jeff S – 4 is Blue Thunder, and 5 is alf. Well done!
Unfortunately due to reasons of incompetence I didn’t record the fact that Catherine had already got number 8: Doug. So that means that team USA has now answered them all right. Which means I have no choice other than to stop the clock at 2 hours and 12 minutes and pronounce the US the winners.
Damnit.
Here are the answers.
1: Dhama and Greg
2: Smallville
3: This Old House
4: Blue Thunder
5: AfterMASH
6: Taxi
7: Manimal
8: Doug
9: Alf
10: Perry Mason
I’ve got a fantastic idea for another quiz. I shall unveil it in two weeks time. How exciting.
it’s a bit strange..but I guess I played on the USA team so a ‘U S A !, U S A!’ would be appropriate now ;)

I didn’t even know Aftermash existed! Now I want to go find and watch it.
CamiKaoss last blog post..15 hours… what I learned at WordCamPDX
hey, Dan – just wanted to thank you for this fun “war” – I know it takes time to set up and monitor and score and referee and keep time…I just wanted you to know we appreciate it!
Grumble, grumble… we was robbed etc…
Despite losing to these colonial upstarts* this was a hell of lot of fun.
Many thanks Mr Dan, and I look forward to your next thrilling idea with eager anticipation.
*=you know I love you all really :-D

Arjan – You damn Dutch, always siding with the Yanks.
CamiKaos – I’ve never seen it myself, but I bet it’s a shadow of the original series.
Lise M – Fun? FUN?! war isn’t supposed to be fun solder!
can we have something easy peasy next time Dan – like UK slang words or the names of every English county?
