Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Dorothy Lyman was best recognized as Naomi Harper on "Mama's Family". What show was she on before "Mama's Family" that made the character of Naomi possible?

Answer: "All My Children"

Dorothy Lyman was the original Opal. It won her two Emmy awards. The character of Opal on "All My Children" was so believable and so much like the character of Naomi that Carol Burnett asked Dorothy if she would be Naomi. She agreed and so Naomi was born.
After she did "Mama's Family" she directed a few episodes of "The Nanny" and even guest starred in a few as well. She has even been in her share of movies.

2. Ken Berry was Vinton on "Mama's Family". On what other popular show did he make a guest appearance as a completely different character?

Answer: "Golden Girls"

He was reunited with his co-stars from "Mama's Family", Rue McClanahan and Betty White. What a small world!

3. Rue McClanahan and Betty White were co-stars on "Mama's Family" as aunt and niece, was this the only show that they starred on together?

Answer: No

Rue and Betty worked together on "Mama's Family and they played aunt and niece to one another. On "Golden Girls" when they were once again reunited, they played best friends. What a change!

4. Was "Golden Girls" the only sitcom that Beatrice Arthur starred in?

Answer: No

Bea Arthur played a crude, sharp-tongued housewife on "Maude". A show that was similar to "Mama's Family" in many ways. She worked with Rue McClanahan, whom later would also co-star with her in "Golden Girls".

Answer: "Roseanne"

Vicki Lawrence guest-starred on an episode of "Roseanne" as Dan's old high school flame, Phyllis Zimmer. She also had a single, "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia."

6. John Ritter had two successful sitcoms "Three's Company" and "8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter." How many other sitcoms did he star in that weren't as successful?

Answer: 3

"Hearts Afire" with Markie Post, "Three's A Crowd" with Mary Cadorette, and "Hooperman" were the three other sitcoms that he starred in that weren't as successful as his first and his last before his death. He will be missed.

7. Elizabeth Montgomery made the character of Samantha Stevens a household name. But, that wasn't the only show she was on. What popular suspense series of the 60's did Elizabeth guest star in?

Answer: "The Twilight Zone"

Elizabeth was almost unrecognizable in this short but memorable role. She had dark hair and played a war survivor. She had little if any speaking lines.

8. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were best known as Michelle Tanner on "Full House". Is this the only sitcom that they have starred in?

Answer: No

They were also in "So Little Time" and "Two Of A Kind" they weren't as
successful as "Full House" and only lasted like two seasons. After "Full House" Mary-Kate and Ashley found better success in movies and they have their names on makeup, clothes, and hair accessories and are even producers of their own company Dualstar.

9. John Stamos was probably best known as his role on "General Hospital" as Blackie. He was also known as whom on the sitcom "Full House"?

Answer: Jesse

Answer: Simba
