A new quiz has been launched to test people's knowledge of 1970s television shows, including La Petite Maison dans la prairie, Starsky et Hutch, and Dallas. The quiz covers a range of topics, such as history, science, and general knowledge, all related to these popular series. One question asks which show follows the life of the Ingalls family in Walnut Grove, with the correct answer being La Petite Maison dans la prairie, a French adaptation of the American series Little House in the Big Woods. Another question identifies Kermit from The Muppet Show as a frog, highlighting the show's mix of humor and puppetry.
The quiz also includes details about the original titles of some shows. For example, the French series L'Homme qui valait trois milliards is known in English as The Six Million Dollar Man, a sci-fi series about a man with cybernetic enhancements. The mini-series Racines, which explores the lives of a French family across several generations, won an Emmy Award in 1977. Meanwhile, Starsky et Hutch, a French version of the American show, is set in California, reflecting the original series' urban crime drama setting.
Other questions delve into specific details about the shows. Drôles de Dames, a French comedy series, has five seasons, showcasing the lives of a group of women in a Parisian apartment. In Dallas, the Ewing family's wealth is based on the oil industry, a central theme in the show's dramatic storyline. The quiz also asks about the physical traits of characters, such as Mark Harris in L'Homme de l'Atlantide, who has webbed hands and feet, a feature that highlights his aquatic abilities.
The quiz includes trivia about the production of the shows, such as the fact that the first episode of the first season of Columbo, which aired in 1971, was directed by Steven Spielberg. This detail underscores the show's influence on television and its connection to one of the most renowned directors in film history. The quiz offers a fun and educational way for fans and newcomers alike to explore the rich tapestry of 1970s television.
