Six Years in Dog River Trivia Quiz

Answer: Names the coffee shop after her aunt.

In "The Ruby Reborn", Lacey Burrows (Gabrielle Miller) renovates her Aunt Ruby's coffee shop, which is located next door to Brent's gas station and convenience store. Brent (Brent Butt) and most of the rest of the townspeople, including the two-person police force, are happy just to have a source of decent coffee. Hank takes exception to the "pink" walls and boycotts the coffee shop, until Lacey reveals that her final change is to name it The Ruby in honour of her late aunt.

Answer: He falls off the stage.

Fred's misfortune opens the way for Wanda (Nancy Robertson) to take over his job. On a rare Thursday night off from her job at Corner Gas, Wanda goes to play Bingo and is present when Fred slips on a numbered ball and falls from the stage. Emma (Janet Wright), Brent's mother, suggests that Wanda take over and to everybody's surprise she does a good job of it. Emma is the only one who prefers Fred as caller, and schemes to get him back.

As an aside, it would be unthinkable for a person from Dog River to move to the rival town of Wullerton!

Answer: Curling

"Hurry Hard" sees the family Leroy split into two rinks, each attempting to cajole Lacey into playing for them. Oscar (Eric Peterson), Brent's father, also has to contend with Emma's temper which often leads to her using too much power when delivering a stone. Meanwhile, Karen (Tara Spencer-Nairn) is having trouble keeping tabs on the Cup and worries that she'll be in trouble with Davis Quinton (Lorne Cardinal), her superior in the police department.

Answer: The Littlest Hobo

"The Littlest Yarbo" is played by Gage, the dog, and first appears when Hank (Fred Ewanuick) can't find his sunglasses. The dog finds them and Hank immediately leaps to the conclusion that the Littlest Hobo has come to Dog River, referring to him as "Canada's Lassie" at one point. Brent and Wanda scoff at him, pointing out that the TV dog, even if real, would have passed away long ago.

In the end, the dog proves to be the most clever mammal in Dog River, even as he moves on to the strains of the earlier show's theme song.

Answer: Stompin' Tom Connors

Connors' "The Hockey Song" provides the background music as Karen and Brent fight it out to be table hockey champion of Dog River, playing on a 1970s vintage game. Hank video tapes the games (in black and white) for transmission to the spot where townspeople have gathered to watch. Davis and Wanda coach the participants, and Lacey tries to raise money for charity - any charity - from the onlookers.

Answer: Fitzy

Fitzy Fitzgerald (Cavan Cunningham) is the mayor of Dog River and has thought of the challenge because an election is coming up. Most people like Hank's idea, of painting prairie dog statues (though most get it wrong and want giant gophers), but Emma supports Oscar's idea of a casino.

She takes umbrage when Fitzy is rude to Oscar, and decides to run against him for mayor. Guest stars in this episode include the Prime Minister of Canada and the stars of "Canada A.M." as themselves.

Answer: Milk

Try as she might, Wanda can't seem to get up the nerve to tell Joe the milk guy (Richard Quesnel) how she feels. Instead of telling him she likes him, she says that she likes two per cent (milk) and things get even worse from that point. He ends up completely confused and unaware that Wanda is trying to flirt with him.

Answer: Brent

Brent is turning forty, and is having trouble finding the bottle of 40 year old Scotch he's been saving for the last twenty years. Meanwhile Davis is nervous because of the fireworks that are on hand for the celebrations, and Oscar is doing his best to give him reason to feel that way.

The fun cameo appearance in this episode is by Kiefer Sutherland in not-quite Jack Bauer mode as the person Davis calls for help with the "explosives".

Answer: yourpetsname

Brent tells them and Hank says, "Wiggles? We tried that." Brent explains that the password is, quite literally, yourpetsname. Wanda says she wasn't ready for that level of stupidity, and Brent then admits that he was standing next to Hank when he first entered it.

Answer: A comedy club

Brent is trying his hand as a stand up comedian in a comedy club in the city, The Chuckle Barn, using funny stories about Dog River as his routine. He is offered a nationwide tour, but chooses to remain in Dog River where everything he loves can be found - though he does go fly fishing in the Yukon!
