LEAVE THE GUN, TAKE THE CANNOLIS

The 46th Semi-Annual Williams College Trivia Contest, May 12, 1989

(12:00): Syndicated Movies and TV The three series chosen were M*A*SH, Brady Bunch, and Partridge Family. The middle section dealt with TV Spinoffs and Academy Awards (Cannolis was really into Academy Awards questions). A triad of Jewish Directors (Reiner and a pair of Allens) concluded the proceedings. Not the conceptual Gibraltar of the age, but some good stuff.
(4 AM): Real Names (partial answers) -- Give the real names of various actual humans and fictional characters, plus for the flimsiest of connections, a "Blues Brothers" section.

(12 am): Tolkien (questions only)
(1 am): TV Theme Songs Audio (answers)
(2 am): Comic Books
(3 am): Williamsiana (questions only)
(1 am): Saturday Night Live
(1 am): The Funky Groovy "Dig It" Hour Bonus (audio) (answers)
(6 am): Old-Time Baseball -- Mostly from the 1800s to about 1920, with a few 1950s-60s questions sprinkled in.
(7 am): Moonlighting -- A full hour bonus devoted to the Cybill Shepherd-Bruce Willis TV show. And just in time, too, since the series would go off the air the very same month. Somebody on the Evil Empire must've really liked the show; the team had included multiple "Moonlighting" questions the previous time they'd run, as "I Don't Have to Answer That Question!" As far as the bonus itself, it was one of those boni where the only players who could have done well were the ones creating the bonus.
