Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In one episode, Mary accepts a date from a man who has recently separated from his wife, both of whom were Mary's friends. What is his name?

Answer: Jack Foster

Mary accepts a date from the recently-separated Jack Foster, but then starts to worry that she's somehow responsible for his marital breakdown.

2. What is the main reason Mary dates Paul Van Dillen?

Answer: He's great looking

Perhaps surprisingly, Mary dates Paul almost solely because of his physical appeal. However, it doesn't take her long to discover that they don't have much in common, and that he's not much more than a "pretty face!"

3. In one episode, someone else's boyfriend develops a crush on Mary and begins showing up at her work and her apartment. Which "MTM" gal was William dating?

Answer: Bess

William is a 15-year-old boy, and the older boyfriend of 12-year-old Bess Lindstrom. Unfortunately, like so many other men before him, he starts to fall for Mary, showing up everywhere she goes!

4. In one episode, Mary dates a man named Ross Nelson, and consequently suffers an inferiority complex relating to her news station, WJM. What is Ross' occupation?

Answer: anchorman

Ross Nelson is the successful anchorman for Minneapolis' number one news program. While dating him, Mary starts to feel embarrassed about the apparent simplicity and lowliness of her own humble news station.

5. Mary dates a man named Wes Callison, who eventually shows up in a later episode when he gets a job in the WJM newsroom. What was his former occupation (back when he and Mary dated)?

Answer: Writer for "Chuckles the Clown"

Wes Callison is initially a writer for the "Chuckles the Clown Show." However, he reveals to Mary that he really wants to be a stand-up comedian. As his girlfriend, Mary supports his ambition and gets the entire newsroom staff to attend Wes' first comedy gig. Wes Callison is portrayed by Jerry Van Dyke, the younger brother of Dick Van Dyke who, of course, starred with Mary Tyler Moore in "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

6. What is the name of the obsessive and persistently annoying man introduced to Mary by Rhoda in the episode titled "Romeo and Mary"?

Answer: Warren Sturges

Mary meets Warren (portrayed by Stuart Margolin) through Rhoda, and it doesn't take long for her to get seriously annoyed by the man's crazy antics. He refuses to take no for an answer, and continually hampers Mary with gifts and even marriage proposals!

7. In one episode, Mary dates a man named Ken. Mary likes him well enough, but she absolutely can't stand his son! What is Ken's intolerable son's name?

Answer: Stevie

Despite her growing feelings for handsome single-father Ken, Mary really doesn't like his little Stevie (portrayed by Lee Montgomery), in this season 5 finale entitled "Anyone Who Hates Kids and Dogs."

8. In one episode, Tom Vernon visits Minneapolis and is eager to get together with Mary. Which best describes their romantic history?

Answer: He broke her heart

Mary had her heart broken by Tom before and when he comes to visit her, she can't decide whether she should see him or not. Apparently this episode was quite controversial when it first aired because there is some indication in the final scene that the two are going to spend the night together.

9. What is slightly unusual about Mary's boyfriend Stephen, who appears in a season 4 episode?

Answer: He is much younger than her

Stephen is 7 whole years younger than Mary, but she still develops strong feelings for him, despite being subjected to constant teasing and warnings from her friends. However, everything changes when Mary and Rhoda attend a party with Stephen and his friends, and Mary truly realizes the significance of their age gap.

10. In one episode, Mary dates a man named Mike Tedesco. This creates a bit of a love-triangle situation, because Mike is also platonically dating whom?

Answer: Phyllis

Mike is originally involved with Phyllis, though it is supposed to be a purely platonic, intellectually-based relationship. Mike soon discovers that he is attracted to Mary, and the two begin dating in a very non-platonic manner, which doesn't please or amuse Phyllis in the least, even though she is married to Lars! It's just another crazy romantic scenario for Mary Richards: man-eater! :)
