Answer: The Brady Grandkids
The venerable sitcom was reincarnated in several lackluster spin-offs, including the well-intentioned but strangely disturbing 'Brady Bunch Variety Hour,' but there was never a Brady Grandkids spin-off!

"Soap," a parody on the daytime soap operas, came out in 1977. The Tates and the Campbells were the two families. Jessica Tate (Katherine Helmand) and Mary Campbell (Cathryn Damon) are sisters. The Tates had a butler named Benson (Robert Guillaume) left the series in 1979 to star in his own show "Benson." The Tates are a wealthy family, whereas the Campbells are a working-class family. Mary's stepson Chuck (Jay Johnson) is a ventriloquist who believes his dummy Bob is real. Jodie Dallas (Billy Crystal) was the son of Mary and her ex-husband Jonny. Jodie is considered one of the first openly gay characters on television; however, he had more relationships with women than men, even getting one pregnant.

Answer: Hee Haw
"Hee Haw" aired on CBS from 1969 to 1971. Even though the network canceled the show following the 1970-71 season, it continued to air in syndication until 1992. The show's format was similar to that of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In", which included comedy bits and sketches, but focused much more on the music, with some of the biggest country stars of the day appearing on the show.

Answer: Kwai Chang Caine
"Grasshopper", as he was called by the blind Master Po, was actually a Shaolin monk whose name was Kwai Chang Caine. He traveled the American West looking for his half-brother Danny Caine, and 'putting things right' for put-upon Chinese people. "Kung Fu" (1972-1975) was an action series combining a Western theme with Eastern martial arts (sort of Matt Dillon meets Bruce Lee). David Carradine's unfortunate death will not be discussed here, nor will there be name-calling if you chose Hop Sing from "Bonanza" as your answer.

From Quiz: TV Title Characters and Series of the '70s
Answer: Emergency!
"Emergency!" aired on the NBC Network for six seasons, and yielded 128 hour long episodes and six made-for-TV movies. The series was co-created and produced by Jack Webb and Robert A. Cinader.
The stories followed the activities of two group of professionals, the paramedics and firefighters of Los Angeles County Fire Station 51, and the medical staff of Rampart General Hospital. The general format of the stories had fire department personnel responding to incidents ranging from fires and rescue operations to traffic accidents and heart attack victims. The fire department paramedic were linked to the hospital via a portable phone system, referred to as the Biophone 3502 Radio. Paramedics would receive information on stabilizing their patients from the doctors before transporting them to the hospital for additional medical treatment.
The series starred Randolph Mantooth as Paramedic/firefighter John Gage, and Kevin Tighe as his partner, Para-medic/firefighter Roy DeSoto. On the other end of the phone link were Dr. Kelly Brackett, played by Robert Fuller, Dr. Joe Early played by Bobby Troupe, and Head Nurse Dixie McCall, played by Julie London. Transmissions to the hospital, most time initiated by Gage started with, "Rampart base, Rescue 51". Answering the call was often Dr. Brackett, who after listening to the report on the patient "vital signs" always seem to issue the same directions, "51, start an IV with D5W TKO, administer 2 amps sodium bicarb, insert an esophageal airway, stand by on the lactated ringers, and transport as soon as possible".
Following the fire departments actions, the scene would switch to Rampart General Hospital, where the patient was treated by the medical staff.
Each episode contained several such incidents.
The exterior shots of Rampart Emergency Hospital was actually Harbor General Hospital, located in Los Angeles County, in the city of Torrance, about 25 miles South of Downtown Los Angeles.
The fire station seen during the series, where Engine 51 and Squad 51 responded from was actually Los Angeles County Fire Station 127, located a few miles East of Harbor General Hospital at 2049 E. 223rd Street in Carson, California. Ironically, the actual paramedic unit Squad 127 used Harbor General Hospital as their primary medical facility when patients they treated were taken to the hospital.
In the tradition of Jack Webb to bring authenticity to his series, the voice heard throughout the run of the series dispatching calls to fire department personnel was that of Stan Lanier, an actual dispatcher with the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
In 1978, by approval of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, the name of Harbor General Hospital, located at 1000 W. Carson Street in Torrance, California was changed to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
On May 28, 1985, two years after the death of Cinader, by unanimous vote, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, Fire station 127 was officially renamed the Robert A Cinader Memorial Fire Station in honor of "Emergency!" co-creator and producer Robert A. Cinader.
Officials of the Los Angeles County Fire Department changed the designation of the fire station located on the grounds of Universal Studios from Station 60 to Station 51. The station now actually houses an operational, in-service Engine 51, Squad 51, and Patrol 51.
Universal Studios filmed interior shots for episodes of the series "Emergency!" in sound stages on their lot.
