TV Trivia Online

By spreety

Q. How old is Wonder Woman?

A. 2,500 years old (The New Original Wonder Woman, The Return of Wonder Woman)

Q. In Bewitched, why didn’t Darrin want Samantha to user her powers?

A. Darrin was scared, had an ego, and was concerned for Samantha’s well being. (I, Darrin, Take This Witch, Samantha; Mother Meets What’s His Name; A Is for Aardvark, I Confess)

Q. In Star Trek, what ancient, advanced race transplanted humanoids across the galaxy?

A. The Preservers (The Paradise Syndrome)

Answering these questions can be fun, but appreciating the context of the answer makes it more meaningful. That is why Spreety TV Online started a TV Trivia revolution by adding links to watch the pertinent episodes online. In the context of seeing the answer, a simple click will launch the full episode, when available online for viewing.

The trivia questions focus on plot based material, leading to a deeper appreciation of the character’s motives. For example, Wonder Woman was effectively an Immortal, but ran the risk of reverting to a mortal when she spent time away from Paradise Island.

Some of the questions are more technical, such as how Sam could see Al in Quantum Leap (a subatomic agitation of carbon quarks were tuned to the mesons of Sam’s optic and otic neurons). The depth of the fake science in certain shows can help us believe just a little more.

The TV trivia challenges at Spreety so far are Friends, Seinfeld, Babylon 5, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stargate SG-1, Bewitched, Wonder Woman, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, The Jetsons, I Dream of Jeannie, Star Trek, Quantum Leap, Arrested Development, Everybody Loves Raymond, The A Team, Monk, Lost, 24, and Mad About You. A new one is added every other week.

For those concerned about spoilers, clearly testing one’s trivia knowledge is intended for after the viewing.

The TV Trivia is under the “Fun” tab on the Spreety.com site. Tell your friends how well you do.

By spreety

Spreety TV Online is pleased to announce the latest in the video series of how to watch TV online. The new video focuses on where to watch live news online. Among the featured places to watch news online are ABC News Now, Bloomberg TV, CNBC, CNN Live, MSNBC, and FOX News.

ABC News Now is a live ABC news feed with a library of original news programming, including brand name shows, like 20/20, World News, Nightline, This Week, Primetime, and Good Morning America. In addition, featured segments are online, such as Good Money, Job Club, Top Line, What”s the Buzz, Now You Know, Popcorn, Moms Get Real, Nature”s Edge, Chef”s Table, and more.

For financial news, Bloomberg has live, free news feeds online for U.S., Europe, and Asia / Pacific. CNBC also has the same type of feeds online, but for a subscription.

CNN Live has multiple streams of their news feeds online. The multiple stream approach is particularly useful when the main CNN channel switches to something else, the online CNN continues to provide in depth coverage of the topic of interest.

MSNBC has brand shows online, such as TODAY, Nightly News, Meet the Press, Dateline, and more. In addition, categories of current news stories are available, such as Politics, Business, Sports, Entertainment, Health, Travel, and Weather.

Local new stations are also available. A search on Spreety for “local” will lead to clickable maps to find local news sites.

Possibly most compelling about online news is direct news from the source. A perfect example is the White House website which streams the live press events.

Rising Star: Robyn Yannoukos

By spreety

Are you in the mood for a surreal, artistic escape?

The films of Robyn Yannoukos might be a perfect fit. As an animator, puppet fabricator, and painter, Robyn is also a student academy award winning director. Her award winning short films available online include Africa Parting and Alice’s Attic, both of which create surreal worlds through the painstaking artistry of stop motion animation.

Robyn’s roots are from Greece and Africa. Her undergraduate degree is a BFA from the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. After completing her Masters (MFA) in animation from UCLA, the transition to a filmmaking career has been a challenge. “You have to promote yourself,” Robyn explains.

Interestingly, self promotion and online video can sometimes be at odds. The path Robyn chose was the film festival route, which thrives on exclusivity for fresh content. For example, the Oscars has a rule preventing entries from being online during the process, with the exception of password-protected Internet screenings for press review or film festival submission. Once aware, Robyn quickly removed her films off the Internet to comply.

Of course, the benefits of the traditional film festival circuit are worth following the rules, mainly due to the caliber of people a young filmmaker meets. Once the film festival circuit is complete, the fresh artistic works can be made available online to help promote budding careers. To see award winning short films from Robyn and her peers, check out Very Short Movies Cinema at VSM Cinema.

Robyn’s patience and diligence in following the rules seems to be paying off, as she is now working on a few projects for Disney and the NFL. To follow her rising career, go to www.robynyannoukos.com.

The “Spreety Rising Stars” series is to raise awareness of fresh, original entertainment talent. For more information, please see Spreety TV Online at http://Spreety.com .
