Tuesday Trivia: Television Drama

Sunday night, Mad Men won the Best Television Drama Golden Globe, and gave a shout out to Basket of Kisses, where my sister and I blog about Mad Men.

Therefore, today’s trivia is all about television dramas that have received nominations from the Golden Globes. Have at!

    (Finally, a trivia contest here that I know some of the answers to–thanks, Deborah!)

  3. Melville says:

    #3 – Kojak

  4. Melville says:

    Could #6 be The Defenders? (That would be a neat Mad Men connection!)

  5. Deborah Lipp says:

    Not Melrose Place. Every show here has had a Golden Globe nomination.

  6. Tina says:

    is # 5 China Beach?

  7. Melville says:

    #7 must be The Mod Squad, with Omar Epps (House, MD) and Claire Danes.

  8. Melville says:

    ^That’s the movie, not the T.V. show, that starred Epps and Danes. 🙂

  9. George says:

    #7 could sort of be The Mod Squad with Omar Epps as the star of the nominated show (House) and Claire Danes as the frequent nominee (although I only see one nomination and a win for My so Called Life…).

  10. Deborah Lipp says:

    Denis Leary is actually the frequent nominee, but you got it.

  11. Hogan says:

    #2 – Man from UNCLE?

  12. Roberta says:

    I can’t believe I didn’t get the Mod Squad. I’m the only one who saw it.
