19. Strong to the finish
I love Popeye!
Question eight is somewhat inaccurate. It wasn’t illegal concern. It was a misinterpreted legal concern.

15/20, #5 had me unhinged, as I've never seen Olive Oyl without Popeye

Lots of fun remembering all the characters in Popeye, some were very rarely seen outside of the three main characters and wimpy ,sweet pea was only seen once in a while!
18/20 one was a typo, I hit the wrong choice in error.
The "Popeye"movie cartoons were first seen in NYC on WPIX TV Ch.11 on Saturday,Sunday and Monday September 8,9, and 10,1956. "Capt.Ray"Heatherton(Formerly WOR TV Ch.9 NYC's"Merry Mailman")hosted the weekend evening edition of the series for two and a half years."Capt.Allen"Swift mc'd the program weekday evenings for five years and "Capt.Jack"McCarthy hosted the show weekday evenings and afternoons from Monday September 26,1960 to 1972.
15 0f 20. That's what happens when you don't finish ALL of your spinach.
Ahhhh I know better than that
You got 20 out of 20

Anyone else notice the resemblance between Jack Mercer and Abe Vigoda?

A POX on these jumping screens-- they made me get an easy question wrong!
Jack Mercer voiced Popeye The Sailor for 49 years, from 1935 until his death on December 4, 1984, so it should be "almost half a century," not "nearly half a century." Who writes this stuff over there at MeTV?!? 🙄😣😡
He died around the time of my birthday..(Crying).
19 of 20 missed breakfast cereal question
I messed up on the video game question! The other "wrong" answer was because the screen jumped! Is there a trick to this?
I remember mad magazine spiff on Popeye. Olyve swallowed an olive and doctor says congrats to Popeye.
15 out of 20. Needs me spinach to score better!
