THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: NAME THAT TELEVISION SERIES #2
On-air questions: The fall TV season is once again getting underway. To commemorate both old shows returning and new shows airing for the first time, this week we’ll once again test your knowledge of episode titles. I’ll give you the titles of three episodes and you tell me which series they are from. And since the Emmy Awards aired recently, each correct answer will be a series that has won the Emmy Award for either Outstanding Drama Series or Outstanding Comedy Series.

1. “Dorothy’s New Friend” / “Rose’s Big Adventure” / “Sophia’s Choice”
2. “Queen Victoria Syndrome” / “Margaretology” / “The Balmoral Test”
3. “Ted Baxter's Famous Broadcasters' School” / “Rhoda Morgenstern: Minneapolis to New York” / “Love Is All Around”
4. “Live from Studio 6H” / “The Ballad of Kenneth Parcell” / “Mrs. Donaghy”
5. “Day 2: 9:00 am – 10:00 am” / “Day 5: 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm” / “Day 8: 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm”
