THE PUZZLE CORNER: NOVEMBER 27, 2010

Another weekend is upon us, and you know what that means puzzle fans! But between Thanksgiving and the pressure to "Buy, BUY, BUY!" coming from retailers, I thought it best to take it a little easy on everyone this go around.
So can you name the TV show these famous opening lines came from?

01. "You unlock this door with the key of imagination."
02. "He awoke to find himself trapped in the past."
03. "But in that darkness, fate moves its huge hand."
04. "We travel through time to help history along."
05. "To seek out new life and new civilizations."

Tune in next weekend and find out if you're right. Meanwhile, let's peek into THE ANSWERS BOX and see the results from November 20's Puzzle Corner.
