These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2012-07-09,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of What She Said and/or of Smith & Guessin', but have
been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me.
I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days.

For further information, including an explanation of the """
notation that may appear in these rounds, see my 2021-07-20
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".

* Game 9, Round 7 - Entertainment - TV Show Episodes

We give a list of episode titles, and the year when one of them
was originally broadcast; you name the TV show.

For questions #1-8, the first episode in each question made "TV
Guide"'s 1997 "100 Greatest Episodes of All Time" and/or 2009's
"TV's Top 100 Best Episodes Ever" list.

1. "The Contest" (1992), "The Pez Dispenser", "The Pick", "The
Yada Yada".

2. "Turkeys Away" (1978), "Les on a Ledge", "Venus Rising",
"Goodbye, Johnny".

3. "Time Enough at Last" (1959), "The Monsters are Due on Maple
Street", "To Serve Man", "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".

4. "The City on the Edge of Forever" (1967), "Amok Time", "I, Mudd",
"The Trouble with Tribbles".

5. "Trapped in the Closet" (2005), "Chef Aid", "Mecha-Streisand",
"Professor Chaos".

6. "Diversity Training" (2005), "Branch Closing", "Goodbye Toby",
"The Michael Scott Paper Company".

7. "Chuckles Bites the Dust" (1975), "The Georgette Story",
"WJM Tries Harder", "Sue Ann Gets the Axe".

8. "The Germans" (1975), "Waldorf Salad", "Gourmet Night",
"Basil the Rat".

Although the shows for questions #9-10 did not make either of
"TV Guide"'s lists, they are certainly classics.

9. "Who Can Stay Tied to a Goat the Longest?" (2007), "Who Do Old
People Like Better?", "Who Can Drink More Beer?", "Who Can Sell
More Bibles?".

10. "Conky" (2004), "Let the Liquor Do the Thinking", "Mr. Lahey's
Got My Porno Tape", "Say Goodbye to the Bad Guys".

* Game 9, Round 8 - Miscellaneous - Game Cupcakes

The cupcakes on the handouts each represent a game. Any kind of
game, from video to retro. In each case, name the game.

I've rearranged the round in order of the handout. At the original
game a 2-page handout was used, with 14 decoys:

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-8/cup12.pdf

Skip over the decoys if you like, or answer them for fun, but for
no points.

1. Name it.
2. Name it.
3. (decoy)
4. (decoy)
5. (decoy)
6. (decoy)
7. (decoy)
8. (decoy)
9. (decoy)
10. Name it.
11. Name it.
12. Name it.
13. (decoy)
14. (decoy)
15. Name it.
16. (decoy)
17. Name it.
18. (decoy)
19. Name it.
20. (decoy)
21. Name it.
22. (decoy)
23. Name it.
24. (decoy)

When Smith & Guessin' turned the round over to me for use here,
I was surprised to find a third handout page that they evidently
had decided not to use in the game. So, if you're enjoying these,
why not try them too (again, for fun, but for no points)?

If you like, then *after* you are finished with questions #1-24,
please see

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/9-8/cup3.pdf

and you know what to do.

This was the easiest round in the original game and, if current-
events rounds are excluded, the second-easiest of the entire season.
