Remote Control Update (Filtered)
Things have been rough the last few weeks, and I had to postpone a lot of trivia writing until this weekend. But when I looked at things this morning, I realized I had almost enough for a basic game, which means that if I pad out a few categories, things will be just fine. I still need to record a bunch of the skits, but I've got a start on that, and I'm going to write some more before bed.
Things to be recorded (and, yes, I'm going to e-mail you today before I go to bed,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thefreak): The Narcoleptic Talk Show Host (script below). A Ranger Bob standin (wacky character says wacky things for a bit and the contestant loses ten points for no real reason; to be improvised wholly by whomever records it), The Slash Channel (identify shows based on very short snippets of slash fanfic), and anything else suggested in the next day or so.
Below the cut, there's a list of the categories I have. As you can see, I focused on '80s and '90s trivia, just as the MTV version of twenty years ago focused on the '60s and '70s. I'm considering expanding The Denver Channel into a lightning round, but I need to know how the buzzers work before I do. Answers aren't listed, so feel free to use this link to post your guesses before reading the comments.

(I think the answer you're looking for is "Gunsmoke" but it depends on what exactly you're asking with that question.)
Also, Hillman College is fictional so you might want to explicate that.

This is all making me really wish not only that Remote Control was still on the air, but that I could play it. :)

This is question is actually blatantly ripped off from my favorite RC question of all time: What are the first five words in Captain Kirk's monologue in the opening credits of Star Trek?
no subject
The original follows those five with "the." SVU has those five words followed by "sexually." In TBJ, they're followed by "all." And apparently CI doesn't use them at all???
OK, I'm really lost now.

Re: Mystery Songster
So does that mean I can identify you? "Sing Along with My Dad" sounds so much better than "Sing Along with This Guy."
