Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which member of the Heck family functions as the narrator?

Answer: Frankie

Mrs. Heck, known as Frankie, is played by Patricia Heaton (famous for her role as Debra on "Everybody Loves Raymond). Frankie Heck works at a car dealership and raises her family of three kids with her husband.

2. Which member of the Heck family often repeats words or phrases in a whispering voice?

Answer: Brick

Brick is a very intelligent and very quirky kid. He enjoys solitary activities such as reading, and has trouble socializing with other children his age. This whispering got him in trouble at a spelling bee in one episode, in which he accidentally repeated a letter at the end of a word, thus spelling it wrong and becoming disqualified.

3. What does Mike do for a living?

Answer: works in a quarry

During part of the first season, Mike is laid off from his job. This results in the family having to do things to save money, such as doing without television for a while.

4. What does Frankie do for a living?

Answer: works at a car dealership

Frankie Heck works for Ehlert Motors. She is a very unsuccessful salesperson, but keeps her job in order to support her family.

5. In what state does the Heck family live?

Answer: Indiana

The Heck family lives in the fictional city of Orson. Their location contributes to the name of the show, since Indiana is a state in the Midwest.

6. In the episode "The Jeans", Frankie buys Sue a $112 pair of jeans. To be fair to Axl, what does Mike buy for him?

Answer: car

Axl gets a $110 car, which turns out to be junk. Unfortunately, the jeans are ruined by the end of the episode as well.

7. In the season one Christmas special, what restores Brick's faith in Christmas?

Answer: Pez dispenser

Brick finds a previously lost Pez dispenser in the car from the previous year. This brings the joy of Christmas back to Brick.

8. What sport does the Heck family play together on their street for a while when Frankie decides it's time the family spent more quality time together?

Answer: football

The children are reluctant to join in at first. However, soon enough the kids are loving every minute of it, as the adults get more and more tired. By the end of the episode, both Frankie and Mike give up on the idea because it takes too much energy for them.

9. In the season one finale, who plays the librarian at Brick's school?

Answer: Betty White

Betty White informs Brick that, unless he returns all overdue books, he would not be promoted to the next grade. Brick's deadline was Walt Whitman's birthday.

10. In season two, who plays Brick's teacher?

Answer: Doris Roberts

Roberts' character ends up becoming fed up with both Mike and Frankie early in the season, resulting in the parents being banned from school activities. Later in the season, she informs Frankie that, as an educator, she believes in second chances and unbans her, putting her in charge of a lot of responsibilities.
