Th-th-th-that's Sheep, Folks! The Saturday Morning Cartoon Sheep.
Welcome to the Saturday Morning Cartoon Sheep

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Wile E. Coyote. Genius.



You are here to match wits with me in a game of sheep. My intellect has come up with the following list of questions, see if you simpletons can answer sheepishly.

Intro for first time players
Spoiler:
(Reverse) Sheep is a game that is part Family Feud, part trivia game. The object of the game is to outwit other players through a series of questions that are usually united in theme. There are two types of questions.

The first, Sheep, is one where you try to think like everyone else and match their answers. The more people you match, the better you do. Let's say we have a game of six players (A through F). A Sheep question might be something like "Name a great color." Sheep questions never have right or wrong answers. Let's say our five players answered like this:

Players A, C, and E said "Blue"
Players B and D said "Green"
Player F said "Chartreuse"

Scoring in Sheep games is like golf: the lower your score, the better. The "Blue" players get -3 points (and the best answer). The "Green" players get -2 points. Player F did not match anyone and gets 0 points.

The second type of question, Reverse Sheep, is the exact opposite. You want to avoid matching other players. A Reverse Sheep question might be something like "Name a state on the Atlantic Coast." Reverse Sheep questions always have right or wrong answers. Let's say our players answered like this:

Players D and E said "Delaware"
Players F and B said "Maine"
Player C said "Texas"
Player A said "South Carolina"

The "Delaware" players get +2 points (a penalty, since you want to have a low score). The "Maine" players also get +2 points. Player C's answer might be debated among the players to see if it is considered correct or not. Wrong answers always score above the most common answer. You're always better off going for something obvious than for something obviously wrong.

That's the gist of it. Each person running a game adds little rules here and there but those are the basics.


General Rules
Spoiler:
The object of the game is to out-think everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common (Sheep) or least common (Reverse Sheep), but still correct.
Example Sheep question: "Name a professional golfer." A good answer might be Tiger Woods and a bad answer might be Chichi Rodriguez.
Example Reverse Sheep question: "Name a play by Shakespeare." Romeo & Juliet might be a bad answer, but Two Gentlemen of Verona might be a good answer. (Unless everyone is trying to go as obscure as possible).
Scores are tallied according to the number of players answering that question. Sheep answers are tallied as negative. Reverse Sheep answers are tallied as positive. The lowest score wins.
There is no such thing as wrong answer for a Sheep question.
Wrong answers in Reverse Sheep are scored two points above the most common answer.
You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head.
Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers, set info, or the question itself. Add {sd} to the end of the answer, not the beginning. Those who do not do this will be penalized 20 points right off the bat.
Note: Be creative with your answers, but don't be stupid.
Sheep questions are marked by an S:, Reverse Sheep questions are marked by an R:.


Game-Specific Rules
Spoiler:
Unique Bonus: Reverse Sheep questions will generate additional bonus (negative) points according to the following:
1 Unique is awarded -15
2 Uniques are awarded -10 each
3 Uniques are awarded -6 each
4 Uniques are awarded -3 each
5+ Uniques are awarded -1 each
Slam Dunks {sd} Players have the power of multipliers in their hands. Each player is given five (5) Slam Dunks ({sd}s) which they use by adding {sd} to the end of their answer. Slam Dunks have different effects depending on the question you use them in:
In Sheep questions, the {sd} adds 1 to the Multiplier. Due to stacked Slam Dunks becoming a bit too powerful in these games, I’m limiting the stacking to 2 on any given question. If you place more than that on a single question, the additional Slam Dunks will not count.
In Reverse Sheep questions, you can use a single {sd} to turn the question into a sheep question for you. However, if your answer is wrong, it does nothing. If you stack {sd}'s, it will turn the score back into a reverse sheep question.
I will correct mistakes made when sending me your answers at a cost of 10 points.


Other notes
- Unless a question specifies otherwise, answers should be limited to Children's Saturday Morning Programming - not straight-to-DVD releases, TV films, promotional films, prime time only shows (No Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, etc.) If more than one answer has a particular title, please specify which one you mean (by year, characters... anything that makes it clear).
- I plan on taking up to 30 players, so once we get close to filling I’ll close things off (with special passes available to former Sheepmasters).
- I added examples in some of the questions to help you in your answering. They are not, however, correct answers that correspond to the game. If you need more clarification, please PM me.

01. S: Ruh-roh, Raggy! Name a popular cartoon canine that is NOT Scooby Doo or one of his kin.

But there are still no wrong answers for sheep questions, correct?

I tried to use examples of a non-cartoon answer. Knight Rider was never a cartoon. Barbie had cartoon movies, but was never a cartoon series. But for the sheep questions, there are no wrong answers.

I feel ok about these questions. But for a couple sheep ones, I know I'll be putting down a wrong answer. But sometimes that doesn't do too badly in the scoring

I'll get something in tomorrow sometime.

I'm in. My first Sheep game! While I feel pretty good about a lot of my answers, I'm also prepared to be very wrong. It'll be fun either way.

There is just a lot of years in this one. I didn't want to limit it too much to the 70s and 80s. Of course, there was that dark period where it was just a few live action shows and no cartoons (that I can remember) on the major networks.

Answers sent. We'll see if age comes into play for what I considered good sheep answers. As for others, I vaguely remember some shows well enough to give one answer, such as #13. We'll see if the only one I came up with is what others did. I'm reasonably comfortable with my sd's on this one, but, again, it might be a generational thing this time around.

I'm counting on this, since at least one answer I didn't have a clue, so I went with a wrong answer that I thought a few sheep might say.

By my calculations, I have received 22 submissions. As your host, I will graciously accept a few more along with spots reserved for fellow sheep masters.

CHALLENGE: Didn't Looney Tunes start out as theatrical shorts?

Answers submitted, if there's still room. I agree with Fist of Doom that for most of us, our knowledge of the topic will depend greatly on when we grew up.
