A. The Bionic Woman
B. The Greatest American Hero
C. Wonder Woman
D. The Six Million Dollar Man

Sung by Joey Scarbury. I bought the 45 back in the day, and I own the DVD of the series.

8000
On the 80's series "Magnum P.I.," Thomas Magnum lives on a Hawaiian estate owned by Robin Masters, a reclusive what?

A. Scientist

16000

25000
Besides Meredith Vieira, who is the only woman to have won an Emmy for hosting a game show?

A. Peggy Cass
B. Kitty Carlisle Hart
C. Betty White
D. Brett Somers

OK, I probably should have known this one, but I didn't. If I used the 50/50 and got that result, I'd have gone with Betty White. Meredith mentioned the name of the game show that White hosted but I don't remember what it was.

50000
On NBC's "The Office" which of these characters does not have the same name as the actor by whom he or she is portrayed?

A. Angela
B. Stanley
C. Phyllis
D. Oscar

No idea, so it's either PAF or STQ. Let's do what Risa did.

50000
Which of these TV couples was actually married in real life?

A. Jack and Norma Arnold
B. George & Katherine Papadapolis
C. Jim & Cindy Walsh
D. Tom & Joan Bradford

Great decision - George and Katherine were played by Alex Karras and Susan Clark. So I'd be going for $100K with PAF still available.

$300: There goes my ATA.

$8K: PAF

$50K: Never watched this show, but I know that Oscar is played by Oscar Nunez. That's it. STQ, please.

$50K #2: Never heard of Jim & Cindy Walsh, so I would've guessed them and gone home. I thought Alex Karras was married to some other actress.

[NellyLunatic1980]

$50K #2: Never heard of Jim & Cindy Walsh

Brandon and Brenda's parents on "Beverly Hills 90210". Man, do I feel stupid.

[Shade]

Although I watch TV contantly, they never have questions about shows I watch. And I have a very long list of shows. They only ask about shows that ended long before I was born.

[peacock2121]

What a miracle stack for me.

I didn't know the Office one - I think I would have ATA'd that one. Too bad, as I know the alternate 50K one.
