Kids TV again   
I'm looking into creating a quiz on Flixter about 80s kids TV (you
know, the kind that has stills from the programmes).  What would you
consider to be HARD questions?

name the thundercat, multiple choice on naming the samey 80s cartoon with
pics of visionaries, pole position, he-man, captain planet and various
others... name the quiz show...

IIRC there wasn't a Goober.

There was a Gobo and a Boober.  Perhaps Goober was their love child??
