These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 1998-02-09,
and should be interpreted accordingly. All questions were written
by members of the Usual Suspects, 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 2020-06-23
companion posting on "Reposted Questions from the Canadian
the Canadian Inquisition (RQFTCI*)".
I wrote one of these rounds.
* Game 3, Round 7 - Entertainment - TV in the Hospital
These questions are in chronological order according to the date
of the first episode of each of these TV series that are either
medical dramas or feature a medical setting.
1. "Dr. Kildare" started as a series of movies, but we're talking
about the TV series here. Tell us the actor who played
James Kildare opposite Canada's Raymond Massey as his mentor
Dr. Leonard Gillespie.
2. What series starring Vince Edwards and Sam Jaffe premiered
4 days after "Dr. Kildare"?
3. This series """has been running""" since 1963, and """has"""
a spinoff called "Port Charles" after the town where it is set.
Name it.
4. This short-lived Canadian series starred John Vernon as a
crusading coroner, based on real-life Toronto coroner Morton
Shulman. Its title was simply the character's surname: what
was it?
5. The series title "St. Elsewhere" was the nickname of what
fictional hospital where it was set?
6. The TV series "M*A*S*H" had two sequels; name either one.
The first was named after a character: supply the first *and*
last names as used in the title. *Or* just give the title
of the second sequel, which ran for 1½ seasons and revived
the characters of Sherman Potter, Max and Soon-Li Klinger,
and Francis Mulcahy.
7. What series, set in a Vietnam War medical facility, starred
Dana Delany as nurse Colleen McMurphy?
8. Neil Patrick Harris starred as a 16-year-old doctor on this
series named for his character. Give his first and last names
as they appeared in the title. (Correct spelling required for
full points.)
9. What """current""" series has father and son lead characters who
"""are""" played by a real-life father and son?
10. The """newest""" doctors to appear as regulars on "ER" are Anna
del Amico and Elizabeth Corday. Name either of the actresses
who """play""" them.
* Game 3, Round 8 - Literature - Quotations
We'll give a quotation and a clue. You supply the originator.
As will become obvious, some of these people were not actually
speaking or writing in English.
1. What Roman Emperor, who died in 68, said as his last words:
"What an artist dies in me!"?
2. A French romantic poet and novelist is remembered for, among
other things, his lower-class Parisian characters. On the wall
of the room where he died in 1885, he wrote: "I represent... the
party of revolution, civilization. This party will make the
20th century. There will issue from it first the United States
of Europe, then the United States of the World."
3. Who answered critics with the line, "I cried all the way to
the bank"?
4. Name the person who made himself infamous with (among other
things) these words: "I draw the line in the dust and toss the
gauntlet before the feet of tyranny. And I say, 'Segregation
now! Segregation tomorrow! Segregation forever!'"
5. An early Christian writer wrote that when he was young he used
to pray, "Give me chastity and continence, but not just now."
Who was he?
6. One of her best-known essays contains the following definition:
"Camp is a vision of the world in terms of style -- but a
particular kind of style. It is the love of the exaggerated,
the 'off'... The ultimate Camp statement: 'It's good because
it's awful.'" Name her.
7. This writer's stories showed an unusual side of 20th-century
Berlin, and contained the line: "I am a camera with its shutter
open, quite passive, recording, not thinking." Who is the
writer?
8. Who telephoned the question "Is Paris burning?" -- and did not
receive a truthful answer?
9. Name the Canadian physician and teacher who wrote in 1904:
"The desire to take medicine is perhaps the greatest feature
which distinguishes men from animals."
10. What behavioral psychologist wrote these encouraging words?
"The real problem is not whether machines think but whether
men do."

"Diagnosis Murder" (1993-2001, with Dick and Barry Van Dyke as
Dr. Mark Sloan and Detective Steve Sloan).
This was a mystery-comedy series largely set around a hospital.
The Van Dyke family didn't just have the two lead roles: guest
cast members over the years included Dick's brother Jerry, Dick's
daughter Stacy, and Barry's children Shane, Carey, Wes, and Taryn.
Of these Shane made the most appearances, in 16 episodes.

Maria Bello; Alex Kingston. (1994-2009; both had left the regular
cast when the series ended.)

Nero. 4 for Dan and Pete. 3 for Joshua.
When I posted the answers in 2009, I noted:
