Decades '15 - Day 9
I Love the 90s!
COMING & GOING
1991
A former football star hosted the popular game show To Tell The Truth for part of one season, ending in 1991. He was replaced for much of that season by a host who was already hosting two other game shows, including one which he still hosts today. (Got that?)
Name both hosts. (2 points each)
Bonus: Name the two women who were recurring panelists on virtually every iteration of To Tell The Truth from the 50s through the 90s. (2 points each)
CATS & DOGS
1995
Movie synopsis: When a serious diphtheria epidemic strikes Nome, Alaska, in 1924, a sled dog and his crew come to the rescue when they race over 650 miles across Alaska in five and a half days to successfully deliver the diphtheria antitoxin in time.
Who is this famous (titular) dog? (2 points)
Bonus: Who voiced the dog in the animated film? (2 points)
Reverse Bonus: If Catfish gets either of these wrong, everyone gets it wrong!
WILL & GRACE
1996
A military vessel, nicknamed Amazing Grace, was launched this year. It's on a very short list of U.S. military vessels named after women. The ship's namesake is credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches. Meanwhile, a popular comic strip released it's final strip on the final day of 1996, marking the end of a decade-long run with a total of 3,150 strips in total.
Name the two people (first and last names) as it applies to this category. (2 points each)

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

WILL & GRACE
1996
A military vessel, nicknamed Amazing Grace, was launched this year. It's on a very short list of U.S. military vessels named after women. The ship's namesake is credited with popularizing the term "debugging" for fixing computer glitches. Meanwhile, a popular comic strip released it's final strip on the final day of 1996, marking the end of a decade-long run with a total of 3,150 strips in total.
