I cannot get the sound bytes to play for the TV jingles quiz, but the other ones work just fine.

I think those are more properly called “commercial jingles,” as TV jingles would be tunes like “ABC is still the one.”

Pulled out a 90% on the movie quiz, despite never seeing Broadcast News or anything with Woody Allen in it…

Pulled out an even wackier 100% on the movie music…again, haven’t seen them all…

And finally, I can’t tell a Toyota from a Hershey bar from a Dr. Pepper…I’m relieved somehow

WooHoo! Got a 100% on the Songs from the Movies quiz and I haven’t even seen all of those movies.

Got 100% on both movie songs and jingles. Got 90% on movie clips. The Woody Allen on got me. I haven’t seen a lot of those movies either. Apparently, if you watch enough tv, you don’t need to go to the movies to know something about them.

Got 100% on the Songs from the Movies quiz. One suggestion though. Why not put the song titles on the answer page? I was curious about the song from Midnight Cowboy. Got it through elimination, but I have no idea of the title or songwriter.
