Tossups (10 points each)

1) Bought by a grain merchant in 1932, it was combined with another team and renamed as part of a plan to get rid of a rival league. This new team won its first playoff series over the Montreal Maroons, but lost in their first finals series against Chicago.

4) TV executives originally thought that this would be a huge flop, due to many technical problems such as poorly mixed sound, choppy animation, as well as the inexperience of many of the voice actors and the absence of a laugh track. However, when it aired in 1965, half of the TVs in the U.S. were tuned in. The show was originally sponsored by Coca-Cola, but all references were edited out in subsequent versions. A 2001 making-of documentary hosted by Whoopi Goldberg revealed that the writer refused to cut a scene that emphasizes the show’s theme, despite the network’s objections to the extensive religious content.

FTP, name this actress, best known for playing Rollergirl in Boogie Nights, and Felicity Shagwell in The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Heather Graham

7) When brought to the US, the first word was changed due to fears that vandals would turn it into an “F.” Ronald Regan reportedly sent a letter to an 8 year-old boy congratulating him on his worldwide high score.

A family trip had to be cut short because he got zesty Italian in his eye. He and his brother play games like Good Samaritan and Billy Graham’s Bible Blaster. He got a pogo stick for imagination Christmas; his brother got a hula hoop. A newspaper headline proclaims that he smells, and he questions if the journalist’s source is reliable.

He taught himself to play guitar at the age of 8, and his middle name is actually Andrew.
