Episode Conclusion

And that’s all for All in the Family Trivia. How did you do? If you haven’t caught the series, I’d recommend checking it out. At least, the more groundbreaking or controversial episodes. They set the tone for a lot of TV shows that came after it.

It also spun off a number of series, so one of those might be in a future episode this season.

I’ll be back next week with another thirty questions. Here’s a hint:

What 1980s detective series was rebooted in 2018 with Jay Hernandez in the title role?

This was a show my mom would never miss back in the 80s. See you back here on Wednesday.
