WHAT YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT?

I'm introducing yet another new segment on the Catbox entitled WHAT YOU TALKING' 'BOUT? It’s all about trivia whether it be movies, TV, or general A-list celebrity gossip. You will find no sports trivia here as that sort of information is completely useless and amuses no one. For this first round of WHAT YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT trivia, we will dwell on the beloved and sadly missed hit show Murder, She Wrote starring Angela Lansbury. Here we go...

1. What was the first novel written by JB Fletcher?
2. What is the name of her deceased husband? (No, Mr. Fletcher won't do. I need a first name.)
3. What was Jessica's maiden name? (Extra points if you can give me her full name...what does that B stand for???)
4. What was Jessica's street address in Cabot Cove, Maine?
5. Jessica wasn't always a famous author of murder mysteries. What career had she retired from before becoming a novelist?
6. Jessica eventually moved to Manhattan. What was her phone number there?

These are real questions with real answers. As a bonus, here are some extra credit questions:

1. How many seasons did this hit show last?
2. How many times was Ms. Lansbury nominated for an Emmy for this role? How many times did she win?
3. What was the only spin-off from Murder, She Wrote?

Good luck!!!

Movie Trivia

A guy at my company had some free film festival tickets to give away this morning and decided to make them a prize to a movie trivia contest. the contest is over, but I thought it would be fun for the Catbox readers. Do you know the answers??

1. Name the film that won best picture at last year’s Academy Awards (the most recent Awards show), and name two stars from that film.

2. The film “Steel Magnolias” featured a rather unusual wedding that included an even more unusual cake. What was unusual about the cake, and what color was the cake (both the icing and the cake itself)?

3. I asked this question once upon a time in one of our old newsletters, but I like it so much I’m going to ask it again. In “Back to the Future,” the mall where Marty McFly and Doc Brown meet to test the DeLorean has different names at the beginning and end of the film. What is the name of the mall at the beginning of the film, what does it change to, and why does it change?
