I do much better on FJ when I am watching along live (on tape), than answering here. Not that I would challenge the rest of you brainiacs here on a day to day basis, but seeing the answer on the blue screen and hearing the music helps me.

Yep. Answering these while half listening to a conference call isn't the best way to answer. Probably would have gotten the last one if I didn't give up and look. The temptation to read the answer usually gives me less time than Alex gives.

Answer:

There is no reason to know this if you aren't old enough. The show sucked, and I was nine years old and didn't watch it cuz it sucked. I doubt it was rerun much. Danger, Will Robinson!
