MG Round 2 Question A

 

 

Doug: (grabs A; walks to panel) All right, everyone on the panel
deals with Matt's question since he has a whole lotta nothing. 
Let's see if nothing turns into something with this...

I have a TV Guide listing.  Wednesday night, TV Land, "Hot in Cleveland".  
Tori's agent tells her she's been tapped to star in a reimagined version 
of a TV series from the '70s.  The bad news -- it's a remake of << BLANK >>.

(audience laughs) (think music plays) 

 

Doug: And they're ready.  Matt, let's see if you can get on the board
with this.

I have a TV Guide listing.  Wednesday night, TV Land, "Hot in Cleveland".

Matt: "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".

(audience boos)

Doug: Well, I can see that logic for two reasons.  One, Mary Tyler Moore
had that guest star stint some time ago on "Hot in Cleveland" -- sprinkled
with that "I hate spunk" dialog.

(a few laughs from the crowd)

Doug: Oh, you remember that show.  The other, of course, being Betty White
was on that show as well.  But -- I think we can do worse than "Mary Tyler
Moore Show".  Jay, what came to mind?

Jay: You know Doug, the problem is they want her to dress up as that 
forever memorable [H.R. Puffinstuff]!

(buzz) (a few laughs from the crowd)

Doug: Eh, there ya go.  Chad, over to you now.

Chad: Nothing more needs to be said.

[SUPERTRAIN]

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: See, *there's* the answer.  Probably the worst show of that or any 
decade.  Chris, what say ye?

Chris: So many God-awful 70s shows...so few the average viewer can 
actually REMEMBER these days.  But here's one I'm SURE "Tori" has heard
of from her co-star:

+------------+
| ONE DAY AT |
|  A TIME    |
+------------+

(buzz) (audience boos)

Doug: Well, the thinking's the same.  Indeed Valerie Bertinelli was
on that show as well as "Cleveland".  But "One Day" was on -- what?
Nine?  Ten seasons?  I think "Mary Tyler Moore Show" had seven or
eight.  Anyway, we come down to Ryan.  I have a TV Guide listing.  
Wednesday night, TV Land, "Hot in Cleveland".  Tori's agent tells 
her she's been tapped to star in a reimagined version of a TV series 
from the '70s.  The bad news -- it's a remake of ...

Ryan: This one was kind of hard, the only thing I could think of was...

+===========================+
| The Mary Tyler Moore Show |
+===========================+

(ding) (audience cheers)

Doug: (shakes head) Funny little game, ain't it?  I didn't Matt's
answer stood a snowball's chance in Ecuador and look what happens.
We've got a tie game.  Dean, do you break this tie?

Dean: I don't know why, but the first thing that came to my mind was...

+------------+
| SUPERTRAIN |
+------------+

(buzz) (audience cheers)

Doug: Another "Supertrain".   Also known as "Stupor Train".
Mystic one, wrap this up for us.

Mystic Girl: I think I have a good answer here...

Chico and the Man

(buzz) (audience boos)

Doug: What were you expecting from the 6th seat, eh?  (audience laughs)

 

H.R. PUFNSTUF | SUPERTRAIN | ONE DAY...TIME
THE M.T.M. SHOW | SUPERTRAIN | CHICO...MAN

Matt's answer: THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW

 

 

Doug: Well, who knew?  Tie score at the end of two rounds.  We'll find
out who wins the semi-final and who goes on to the Hollywood Squares
final.  You're watching the Net Match Game - Hollywood Squares Hour
Champions' Special.

(audience applause; MG-HSH music plays)
