1. I've never seen a full episode. The opening is something about "In the American judicial system there are two equal branches" or something like that. 2. Ikea? 3. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry wrote ... oh wait, that's "The Little Prince". "The Prince" is the famous work of N. Machiavelli 4. Sounds like either Ireland or Scotland. Does Scotland have their own National Park System? I'll guess Ireland. 5. Wheaties?
