It is sometimes spelled Tristram, just as Isolde is also sometimes spelled Isoude or Iseult. It's basically an older version of Lancelot and Guinevere.
I was really happy to see these guys get a shout out. I'm not sure they ever even got mentioned by name in the show. I can see why people didn't know who they were.
I'm pretty sure that those are indeed their first names, but I don't think they've been given official last names. I do know that Waldorf's is almost certainly not "Astoria," because that's his wife's name.
More for us old folks - Lenny and Squiggy, Beany and Cecil, Lucy and Desi, Gable and Lombard, Bogey and Bacall, Gidget and Moondoggie, Seals and Crofts, Chad and Jeremy, Peter and Gordon...
Chip 'n' Dale have been around since 1943, only a few years after Roy Rogers's film debut. If you're old enough to know one, you're young enough to know the other ;)
I'd never heard of Itchy and Scratchy so I googled it, and now I know why I didn't know it - I've never seen an episode of the Simpsons. No idea why, just never have taken the time to check it out.
You don't have to be a Marxist to think it a bit sad (just from a knowledge of history perspective) that far more people know Mary-Kate and Ashley than Marx and Engels.
I am only 11 years old, and the first one that i immediately guessed correctly was "Laverne and Shirley." Its sad that nobody my age knows what Seinfeld, Laverne and Shirley, and I dream of Jeannie is.
It's not sad, tv programs are unimportant rubbish....... It's sad when young people know nothing about real and important people from history that did good for humanity.
I think one reason that Marx & Engels has such a low percentage is that in many cases, Marx gets all the credit. I had learned of Marx and the Communist Manifesto many years before finding out there was a second author.
Ya tim'rous beastie.
