The Many, Many Men of Dorothy Zbornak Quiz

Answer: Doctor

Dr. Elliot Clayton first came to the ladies' house to examine Sophia, where he met Dorothy.

Dr. Clayton was played by Peter Hansen, who as fans of the daytime soap opera "General Hospital," know, played Lee Baldwin on the soap for quite a number of years.

I love it when Rose tries to trick Elliot into making a pass at her: "Do you want to see some Polaroids of me in my tennis skirt?"

Answer: Barry is gay

Yes, unfortunately for Dorothy, it turns out that Barry (whom we never see) is indeed gay.

I love it when Dorothy gets upset because she insists she needs enough sleep to meet Barry. "Without eight hours of sleep, I look like Buddy Ebsen," she moans.

Answer: Physical Education

As Dorothy describes him, Glenn is "a gorgeous gym teacher."

I love it when Rose and Blanche debate over whether or not Dorothy should continue to see a married man:

Rose: "Oh, Dorothy! Drop Glenn and keep some self-respect!"

Blanche: "No, keep on seeing him, Dorothy. Self-respect is for losers like Rose!"

Answer: Roberta

Yep, on Eddie and Dorothy's first date, he takes her to his ex-wife's restaurant, "Roberta's," where he weeps into his crab cakes--but the physical activity after dinner really makes up for all that!

I really love it when Dorothy answers the door thinking it was Eddie, but it turns out to be Rose:

Dorothy: "Oh, I thought you were my date, Rose."

Rose: "Oh, sorry, I can't go out with you tonight but maybe sometime next week..."

Answer: Sophia sent John away when he showed up to take Dorothy to their prom

Yep, John showed up for his prom date in a leather jacket, and began to mouth off to Sophia. Sophia advised him to come back wearing a different shirt and tie, but he never came back. Sophia never told Dorothy what happened, and Dorothy just reasoned John stood her up. They finally got back together again in the episode "What a Difference a Date Makes."

I love it when Blanche consoles Dorothy about this circumstance: "Oh, Dorothy, how awful. I figured you didn't go to your prom, but to be STOOD UP!"

Answer: Brunch

Yep, Jimmy confides to Dorothy that he misses so many things by staying inside his apartment, "but actually, I miss brunch the most."

I love it when Dorothy first meets Jimmy and describes to Sophia her total frustration about dealing with someone cut off from society as he is:

Dorothy: "It's just so terrible, to see somebody, so alone and without companionship as he is. He's so sad and lonely. What can I do, Ma?"

Sophia: "Start a club!"

Answer: He's only a white collar criminal

Yep, Sophia's to the point defense was "White Collar!" when Dorothy states "Your matchmaker set me up with a criminal."

This, of course, escalates into a huge argument. Dorothy exclaims, "Ma, for the last time, if I want to go out on a date, I can find one for myself!"

Blanche, who witnessed the discussion, puts in her two cents: "Oh, Dorothy. Dear, sweet delusional Dorothy."

Answer: Rose

Yep, in the very last scene (under the credits), Rose is shown accepting a date from Don and leaving the house with him.

I love it when Sophia makes a wry observation on Dorothy's latest flame: "Dorothy, you're sixty years old and breaking up fake rock 'n roll bands. I want you to think about that!"

Answer: Sonny Bono

Yep, she picks Sonny, because of the power he has because he is Mayor of Palm Springs. Sophia is thrilled because she is rooting for Sonny because he is Italian.

I love it when Sonny and Lyle spar over Dorothy:


Sonny: "And how many gold records do YOU have?"

Lyle: "None! I was never married."

Answer: Their passionate fights

Yep, when Rose tells Blanche they Dorothy and Al can't be in love all the time because of their constant fighting, Blanche corrects her and state they are very passionate fights. She adds that such discourse often leads to steamy romance.

This time, Blanche is right on the money because a few minutes later, Al and Dorothy have a heated fight which ends with Dorothy inviting Al to join a bomb squad. Dorothy then turns to Blanche and Rose and exclaims, "Oh my God, I am crazy nuts about this guy!"
