1. Richard Pryor and Lou Gossett, Jr. guest starred as brothers having a benefit performance to save their firehouse. What group was scheduled to play but, because of a scheduling mix-up, the Partridge Family was sent instead?
From Quiz The Partridge Family
Answer:
The Temptations
The Simon brothers borrowed money from a loan shark ("Heavy") to pay off their firehouse, which was being used as a community center. Realizing that they could not repay the loan, they came up with a plan to have a benefit. They requested The Temptations, but the booking agent mistakenly sent The Partridge Family instead. Due to sabotage, the benefit performance was a tremendous flop: noone showed up except "Heavy" and his "boys". Undaunted, Laurie announced that the family had come up with the idea to have a block party. Local merchants would be asked to donate food and drinks, and the community would be asked to make financial donations. Of course, the party was a success. The family performed the soulful
song, "Bandala".
