Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Laura Petrie makes a slip on a TV show while talking about Alan Brady. What is it?

Answer: He wears a toupee

"The Dick Van Dyke Show". Carl Reiner was great in his repeated appearances as Alan Brady. Richard Deacon was also good in a somewhat thankless role.

2. Sally Rogers is nervous about a boyfriend that she meets while on vacation. Why?

Answer: His occupation

More "Dick Van Dyke". Sally and Buddy were excellent, as were Jerry and Millie. (By the way, the boyfriend was a mortician.)

3. Larry and Jack are interested in the same woman. Where does Jack work at the time?

Answer: In a department store window

"Three's Company". (Jack plays a mechanical man.)I thought Richard Kline did nice work as Larry.

4. Mr. Roper goes upstairs to protest the noise, but ends up staying for the night at the party. What happens when he wakes up?

Answer: He's in bed with Jack

More "Three's Company". The Ropers were very entertaining.

5. Myrna Turner is depressed when her boyfriend strays. Who plays the boyfriend?

Answer: Rob Reiner

"The Odd Couple". Penny Marshall was fine in support before her days as Laverne.

6. What is the name of Al Delvecchio's lost love?

Answer: Rosa Coletti

"Happy Days". Julie was the Lauren Tewes character on "Love Boat".
Thalia was the Tuesday Weld character on "Dobie Gillis". Mildred was a character who made one or two appearances on "Odd Couple".

7. Cliff Clavan gets romantically interested in a relative of one of the gang at the bar. Whose relative is she?

Answer: Carla's

"Cheers". Carla's relative helps out as a barmaid. Many shows have a "token idiot" for easy laughs.

8. Norm Peterson comes close to getting a job, but ultimately loses out to another candidate. Why?

Answer: His wife didn't "fit in".

"Cheers" again. (The legendary Vera.) Norm was always fun to watch.

9. Sue Ann Nivens causes complications for Mary by getting involved with a man. Who is he?

Answer: He's married to Phyllis

"Mary Tyler Moore". (Sue Ann gets involved with Lars.) Off-the-wall characters (Sue Ann, Phyllis)are nicely written and acted. Rhoda, too.

10. Where did Ted Baxter's career begin?

Answer: Fresno

More "Mary Tyler Moore". ("It also started in Fresno with a crazy dream ...") Good job as "the fool".
