I thought they were difficult questions too - who wrote the score for Charlie Brown........to be honest, who cares! LOL I thought the questions would be about the storyline, something obvious or an easy answer.

Eric - I kept typing either Grinch or The Grinch!!!! And each time it said, incorrect - for the one with pics of xmas villians. I kept thinking, what? That is the Grinch, I know it....oh, yeah, How the Grinch Stole Christmas....he he That TV Guide is picky, picky!

I know Jim Carrey was superb in this role but to be honest, I just love the original cartoon so much, I didn't like the movie. I didn't like the lady who lived next door to Cindy, the one after the Grinch and the way the townspeople were made up. The whole thing just didn't feel like the cartoon, to me anyway.

I almost always like the original better.....but you're right Sunny, he was great in that role.

Oh Mary, the original animated version was my mom's favorite!! We lost her the Labor Day before the movie came out - I think she would have enjoyed that as well.

I got 7 of 10.

who wrote the score for Charlie Brown........to be honest, who cares!


Aw, Vince Guaraldi was a fabulous musician. The Charlie Brown Christmas score is one of the most heartwrenching and simulatenously heartwarming scores out there.

HurryKane - didn't mean to make light of the CB music score. Just thought the quiz would be story content!

I got 3 out of 10.....yikes!

I frequent the TV Guide game page quite a bit. Always something fun to find there. This time, 3 holiday related games or quizzes.
