Q. How old is Wonder Woman?
A. 2,500 years old (The New Original Wonder Woman, The Return of Wonder Woman)
Q. In Bewitched, why didn't Darrin want Samantha to user her powers?
A. Darrin was scared, had an ego, and was concerned for Samantha's well being. (I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha; Mother Meets What's His Name; A Is for Aardvark, I Confess)
Q. In Star Trek, what ancient, advanced race transplanted humanoids across the galaxy?
A. The Preservers (The Paradise Syndrome)
Answering these questions can be fun, but appreciating the context of the answer makes it more meaningful. That is why Spreety TV Online started a TV Trivia revolution by adding links to watch the pertinent episodes online. In the context of seeing the answer, a simple click will launch the full episode, when available online for viewing.
The trivia questions focus on plot based material, leading to a deeper appreciation of the character's motives. For example, Wonder Woman was effectively an Immortal, but ran the risk of reverting to a mortal when she spent time away from Paradise Island.
Some of the questions are more technical, such as how Sam could see Al in Quantum Leap (a subatomic agitation of carbon quarks were tuned to the mesons of Sam's optic and otic neurons). The depth of the fake science in certain shows can help us believe just a little more.
The TV trivia challenges at Spreety so far are Friends, Seinfeld, Babylon 5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG-1, Bewitched, Wonder Woman, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, The Jetsons, I Dream of Jeannie, Star Trek, Quantum Leap, Arrested Development, Everybody Loves Raymond, The A Team, Monk, Lost, 24, and Mad About You. A new one is added every other week.
For those concerned about spoilers, clearly testing one's trivia knowledge is intended for after the viewing.
The TV Trivia is under the "Fun" tab on the Spreety.com site. Tell your friends how well you do.
