Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where did the series take place?

Answer: Alaska

Cicely, Alaska to be exact. A fictional town.

2. Who played the lead character, Dr. Joel Fleishman?

Answer: Rob Morrow

Rob Morrow, in real life, is NOTHING like Fleishman. Paul Provenza, also a stand-up comedian played the doctor that took Fleishman's place when Morrow left the show. John Corbett was Chris "In the Morning" Stevens, and Darren E. Burrows played Ed Chigliak. Rob Morrow supported himself, in his pre-acting days, as a waiter and a balloon messenger.

He can be seen in films such as 1994's "Quiz Show," 2002's "The Emperor's Club," and 2003's "The Guru."

3. What kind of airplane did Maggie fly?

Answer: Cessna

A Cessna 170. Maggie's old boyfriends tended to die in unusual circumstances.

4. What were the call letters of Maurice Minnefield's radio station?

Answer: KBHR

K. Bear! West of the Mississippi, call letters begin with Ks. Here in the east, they begin with Ws.

5. What was Maurice's former profession?

Answer: Astronaut

That was easy, no? Maurice, rich, arrogant and homophobic!

6. What was the occupation of one of Ruth Ann's sons which she found completely disgraceful?

Answer: Investment Banker

Ruth Ann was certainly an "alternative" type of woman. She loved the Arts and would have been much happier if her sons were artists or musicians. Even when the banker son visited and tried to become more acceptable to his mother, he couldn't stay away from his computer and stock markets.

7. What real-life film director appeared on the show visiting fledgling filmmaker Ed Chigliak?

Answer: Peter Bogdanovich

Ed was a great admirer of all the above, but Mr. Bogdanovich was the visitor. Bogdanovich had a long relationship with Cybill Shepherd whom he'd directed in "The Last Picture Show."

8. What was the name of Holling Vincoeur's bar?

Answer: The Brick

The Coliseum and The Old Castle are Irish pubs in Manhattan and Sidetracks is one in my Queen's neighborhood.

9. What is the full name of Holling and Shelly Tambo Vincoeur's baby?

Answer: Miranda Bliss Vincoeur

"Randi" was her nickname, Bryn is the Welsh equivalent of Brian. Holling Gustav Vincoeur is Holling's full name, and I doubt they would have named a boy after either Joel of Maurice!

10. John Corbett was fabulous as Chris "In the Morning!" What was Chris Steven's middle name?

Answer: Danforth

John Corbett was in the comedy film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and is starring in his own television show, "Lucky."
