Good grief!! I'm old enough to REMEMBER this stuff!!!!

I would have needed a lifeline on the Love Boat Q. That's the only one in this stack I had no idea on.

The 1989 World Series took place in San Francisco, which is fanous for being on an earthquake fault.

I was reasonably certain that Cosby never appeared on "The Love Boat" but Kirstie Alley might have been a possibility as well.
