It seems like the quizzes have gotten much easier in the last two weeks or so.

I'm thinking that my funniest typo ever was when I wrote "Sonny and Chet." Then I was just thinking of Sonny Bono singing "I've Got You" with that blob monster from Weird Science.

When I saw you typed Chet my first thought was of Chet Huntley, NBC news co-anchor of the Huntley-Brinkley six o'clock news. I would have loved to see his solemn face as straight man for Sonny. "Good night Chet. Good night Sonny." Actually, it's even more interesting after I remembered that Brinkley did the Washington part of the report and Sonny wound up a congressman working there. NBC could have just let Sonny do the report from DC then added in a little song and dance and comedy routines to end the show. I'll bet they would have beaten Walter Cronkite in the ratings with those. :)

Tried Cher and Sonny and couldn't think of any thing else. Glad I reversed them on another try!

The Captain and Tenniille were another musical married couple who had their own variety show, from 1976-77. Johnny Cash and June Carter had two variety shows in the 70s too. Great quiz!

It's amazing how much this stuff permeates pop culture for years. I've seen a few of these in re-runs, but am too young for most of them and was still able to get 100%.

Love M*A*S*H.

The original film was even better, a fantastic, subversive, anti-war film starring Donald Sutherland that the director managed to make under the noses of the film’s sponsors. It was supposed to be a heroic Americans save the day type film, but by filming non-chronologically, filming decoy scenes etc he hid his true purpose until the final edit, at which point the film’s backers had a fit and wanted to pull the movie. The film was nearly never released!

Apparently the producer’s son made more money than the film, just for the theme song “Suicide is Painless”
