All right, and welcome back to Backseat Trivia Rumble. I hope the snacks are open and the volume is up, because we've got a heavyweight battle today. In the backseat, the Barnyard Buddies and the Chicken Coop Crew. In the front seat, the Farmhouse Flashback Squad and the Overalls Crew. Three rounds, 30 questions.

Drivers, eyes on the road. Kids, eyes on the prize. 

Before we get the engine started on round one, we have a very special VIP to celebrate. This shout-out goes to Lenny in Minneapolis, Minnesota, who's preparing for a big year in kindergarten. Lenny, we hope you have an amazing year, and thanks for being a loyal listener

Now that we've celebrated our VIP, let's get down to [00:01:00] business

Question two: What farm bird lays the eggs we eat for breakfast? And the answer is a chicken. Question three, what animal known for rolling around in the mud says, "Oink"?

All right, parents, are you ready for round two? Today we're heading back to the farm on screen with movies and shows about country life that parents grew up watching. Kids, let's sit back and watch those parents do their work. Question one: What 1991 TV movie follows a woman who answers a newspaper ad to move to Kansas and become part of a widowed farmer's family?

And the answer is Sarah, Plain and Tall. Question two: What 2000 animated movie follows a group of chickens plotting their escape before they end up as pies? And the answer is Chicken Run. Question three: What 1991 comedy stars Billy Crystal as a city guy who signs up for a cattle drive out West?[00:04:00] 

And the answer is City Slickers. Billy Crystal traded his suit for spurs, and judging by the sunburn, he regretted it immediately. Question four: What classic book-turned-movie features a barn spider who spins words in her web to save a pig named Wilbur?

And the answer is Charlotte's Web. Question five: What long-running TV series followed the Ingalls family living on the prairie in the 1800s?

And the answer is Hee Haw. Question eight, what 1988 comedy stars Chevy Chase as a man who moves his family to the countryside expecting peace and quiet? And the answer is Funny Farm. If moving to the country was really that peaceful, nobody would've needed a two-hour movie about it going wrong.

And the answer is Home on the Range. Question 10. What TV series about two cousins speeding through Hazzard County [00:06:00] in a car named General Lee ran through the late '70s and early '80s? And the answer is Dukes of Hazzard
