    My family is planning to play a TV trivia game this Thanksviging and I am in charge of writing the questions.  Do you have any great TV trivia questions? 

    Here are some that I have so far:

    Q:  Who was the first TV couple to be shown sharing a bed?

    A:  The Munsters (this got past the censors because they were monsters, not people!)

     

    Q:  Mork and MIndy was a spn-off of what popular show?

    A:  Happy Days

     

    Q:  Name 5 shows that were first aired in black and white and then went to color:

    A:  Beverly HIllbillies, Bonanza, Green Acres, Get Smart, Lassie,

    Gilligan's Island, Gunsmoke, Ed Sullivan (these are just a few)
