Friday Funday Trivia: TV Families


This week's quiz features 3 montages containing 15 photos of TV show families. You have to correctly provide the last name of the family. To enlarge the montages, click on them. Below the montages are the point values for each photo (40 pts total).

If you are a Friday Funday Trivia virgin about to be touched for the very first time, please read the following rules before playing:

* The game is pub style so looking up the answers, using friends/family for help, etc. is not allowed.

* If you are the only player to correctly identify a photo, you earn 5 bonus points. The first player to submit their final answers to me will earn 2 bonus points. 

* Please do not post your answers in the comments section. Instead, send them to ultfan@gmail.com no later than Friday night (11/25) at 11:59 PM EST. The answers will be posted on Saturday, Nov. 26th.

Because its Black Friday, I may extend the deadline by a day. This will depend on the number of submissions I get during the normal timeframe.

Not an official rule: If you have no clue about a photo, feel free to come up with an intentionally funny answer. Although you won't get credit for a correct answer, you'll get a thumbs up from me for originality, execution, and showmanship. What can I say, I love to be entertained and I'll take it any way I can get it!

Have fun and good luck!
