Re: TV Series Trivia

19 is Incorrect, though it's certainly the best known Ali G spin-off (a sequel is coming). The rest are Correct.

Here's the brilliant Tripping with the Bradys scene (jump to around 1:38 if you want to skip the preamble):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV03KqoPC64

For 6, Lee Merriwether replaced Julie Newmar (Eartha Kitt hadn't appeared on the show at that point).

For 15, Khan, of course was played by Ricardo Montalban. Probably most people when they think of Khan default to the movie rather than the earlier TV episode.

Re: TV Series Trivia

Those are correct, except for 10, where you included the question but not the answer
5. I overlooked Gordon
17. That leaves the final part: Who played Knox?
19. Unlike Borat and Brüno, Ali G Indahouse was entirely fictional, no interacting with actual people. I hope someday there's an Ali G movie where Ali G interacts with people like in the show.

Re: TV Series Trivia

Hopefully the next quiz will provide a fun change of pace: Each question lists two shows. If I’ve prepared the questions right, one actor, and one actor only (in the gender neutral sense) will have appeared in at least a dozen episodes of both shows. Name the actor. In all cases, I’ve tried to list each each set of two shows in order of which they were in first, though in some cases the shows overlapped before the first show ended (if it has).
 
1. Agents of SHIELD/Preacher
2. Barney Miller/Firefly
3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Runaways
4. Desperate Housewives/Supergirl
5. Doctor Who/Jessica Jones
6. Dukes of Hazzard/Smallville
7. Electric Company/Oz
