Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What were the names of Mary Jo's and J.D.'s exes?

Answer: Ted and Janet

Ted showed up a lot but Janet was only key in one episode, at least visibly. They all had a summit early on in J.D.'s and Mary Jo's relationship to establish ground rules. Janet made a crack about Mary Jo's appearance just before that show down became necessary.

2. What was the name of Julia's only grandchild?

Answer: There were none.

The pregnancy turned out to be false, so Payne's rush wedding upon graduation didn't turn Julia into a 'grandma' after all.

3. Speaking of that wedding, when Suzanne and Charlene and Mary Jo barged into Payne's dorm the next morning, in search of Julia, what did the House Mother say to them?

Answer: 'These boys need their rest!'

The 'matron' assumed the ladies were in search of early morning companionship.

Answer: Around the time of the revolutionary war

It was said 'Over 200' in that episode. That would put it somewhere around the American Revolution.

5. Mary Jo briefly dated a college kid who wore underwear on his head and met up with Julia at a keg party. What was his name?

Answer: Kenny

That'd be Kenny, whom Julia rebuffed after Mary Jo broke up with him. She mentioned that he might have more success with women, as he went, if he didn't greet them wearing undergarments on his head.

6. On a trip to Japan what does Julia tell Suzanne that, based on her luck, she'll be seated next to on the plane?

Answer: A baby who smokes

I love that 'baby who smokes' line.

7. When Mary Jo married Ted, where did she recall that he and his friends had written their names during the reception?

Answer: In the snow

We needn't address the utensils used to create those autographs...

8. Who once called themself Cindy Birdsong on the show?

Answer: Anthony, during a survivalist-like camping trip

Anthony rescued Mary Jo and Julia after they left their 'camp' during a weekend excursion in the wild. When discovered, he called himself Cindy. 'Who let you on the bus?', he was asked. 'Some white girl', he answered. All the while wearing some big fluffy white bonnet. Too funny.

Answer: prostitute

Tyrone lived with his sister, who Anthony named as a prostitute who was never there to look after him. I wish they'd brought Tyrone back since it seemed Anthony was always a {foil;} in that episode he showed a very strong and kind side of his character. But Anthony was the token straight man so often in the show.

Answer: 'Enjoy the view'

Ted seemed to like MJ's backside, so she swaggered out of the restaurant, giving him one last look at what he'd never have again.
