TV Trivia! :)

[blinc]

Want to try and stump each other with some TV trivia? How about we post a question or two and when someone gets the answer, someone posts another question or two?

I'll start with an easy one. :)

What were the full names of the older couple who lived beneath Lucy and Ricki Ricardo in the "I Love Lucy" series?

[TTP]

You call this easy? :)
I need to watch more TV... ;)

[unseen1]

Hi,

It's not Fred and Ethel Mertz is it???

Jason

[blinc]

AHA! Unseen1 got it on the first try. It is Fred and Ethel Mertz! Way to go Unseen1!! :) Someone care to try and stump us with another question?

[jamesglewisf]

I knew that one, but I thought maybe you were looking for their middle names too.

What show did Vivian Roberta Jones star in. Hint: That's not her stage name.

[blinc]

Isn't her stage name Vivian Vance? {toothy}

[blinc]

I love lucy!

[jamesglewisf]

Correct. :)

[blinc]

Until someone else comes up with some questions... here's another one for you!

Can you name the three sons, on the old tv series "My Three Sons"?

[ntexas]

Robbie, Ernie, and ??????

Somebody help me out? Or am I way off base?

[In_His_Shadow]

Robbie was the oldest, then Chip, the last was Ernie they adopted him. I actually think I remember in the first season that they might have had another son older than Robbie and he left and they brought in Ernie.

CJ

[blinc]

Yep, it was Robbie, Chip and Ernie... but CJ, I think you're right. It does seem like there was an older son that got married. Yeah.. he married someone named Katie didn't he? Or was that Robbie?

Someone have a question they'd like to pose?

[In_His_Shadow]

Robbie married Katie and they had triplets. Man I watch way too much TV.


Does anyone remember the name of the fireman on "Leave It To Beaver"?

He was on the show in the early seasons.


CJ

[ntexas]

What is "Leave it to Beaver" ??? A TV show?

ha/ha, just want to pretend I'm younger than I really am! Sorry, I wasn't a devoted fan of the show, so I don't have a clue?

[blinc]

Oh gosh... I don't know this one either Ntexas. We're both too young to remember.. yup, that's what it is. ;)

[Karenluvs6]

I am waaayyyyyyyyyyy too young to remember that one...{rolleyes}


Try one of these...

#1 What was the name of the top secret government agency that employed Maxwell Smart on Get Smart?

#2 What was Uncle Martin's profession on his home planet, on My Favorite Martian?

[blinc]

Was the top secret Agency named "Mother"? Why do I think I'm wrong?

[In_His_Shadow]

I remember something like KAOS, but was that the bad guys? It's a guess.

CJ

[Karenluvs6]

It was CONTROL

NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE A STAB AT THE OTHER ONE?

[blinc]

I don't know either one of these! Anyone else?

1)Does anyone remember the name of the fireman on "Leave It To Beaver"?

2) What was Uncle Martin's profession on his home planet, on My Favorite Martian?

[In_His_Shadow]

Ok the "Leave It To Beaver" answer since it is two days old and no one is old enough to remember was "GUS" the fireman.

The "My Favorite Martians" I didn't really watch but I will take a stab at it and guess a teacher.

CJ

[Karenluvs6]

AARRGGGG!
*hits herself in the forehead*
GUS!!

like I knew

Uncle Martin was a Professor of Anthropology with a special interest in 'Earth Culture'.


Here's one!

What was Ed Norton's favorite TV show on The Honeymooners'?

[In_His_Shadow]

Ok let me think..(tapping her head). Too old for Leave It To Beaver but she remembers The Honeymooners. Am I missing something?


Or do you catch The Honeymooners in reruns. We don't get it nor the Leave it to Beaver reruns. I hate to admit it I'm just that old.

CJ

[blinc]

Wasn't it some kind of goofy game show?

Awww... CJ don't feel bad, just between the two of us, I bet none of these young whippersnappers have any idea how rough we had it way back when. Remember having to peel bark off trees just to write a note? Didn't have none of that thar fancy notebook paper like they did growing up. Kids today! hmmph. {einstein}

[Karenluvs6]

Nah, I was just kidding about being young to remember....I used to watch Leave It To Beaver too.
Just didn't know the answer to your question.

I watch all the old shows on TVLAND...channel 67 and on Nick at Nite channel 33.

still working on that last one?
I have a ton more that I have been writing down, here and there....all day long!!

[In_His_Shadow]

Can't wait to see what you have. Like I said before we live in a small town so we don't get Nick at Nite or TV Land
Sure wish we did, I would love to see some old shows. We at least have MTV and some others, the towns next to us ban MTV from everyone in the city because of bad content. So we feel we are uptown for at least having that. Though I don't really watch it.
CJ

[Karenluvs6]

Ed Norton's favorite TV Show on the Honeymooners'.....was....'Captain Video'!


What was the name of the famous pig on Green Acres?

On the Donna Reed Show, Donna and Alex Stone had three lovely children....what were their names?

[blinc]

Arnold was the pig.

I don't remember the names of the kids!

[In_His_Shadow]

There was the boy Bud, wasn't the youngest named kitty or kitten or something like that. I forget the oldest daughters name. I haven't seen this show in about 25 years. Hope someone else can remember and help me.

CJ

[Karenluvs6]

you're right Blinc...Arnold it was....Arnold Ziffel as matter of fact!

the kids' names were Mary, Jeff and Tricia.

[In_His_Shadow]

Yikes I wasn't thinking about Donna Reed, I was thinking about "Fathers Knows Best".

CJ

[Karenluvs6]

Yeah, it gets just a little confusing. There are soooooooo many old shows!

here is a couple more:

Mike Stivic, Archie Bunker's son-in-law on All in the Family, was an unemployed student. What degree was he studying for?


What was Col. Klink's claim to fame as head of Stalag 13 on Hogan's Heroes?

[Debby]

Oh my, I should know that one, I love Archie Bunker...hmmmm....what was meathead studying to be...I can't remember so I'll just make a total stab in the dark...was it a teacher of some sort?

[Karenluvs6]

I'll give ya this one Deb....it seems this thread is getting slow....no one wants to play..{bawling}

'Meathead' was studying for a degree in Sociology.


I love All in the Family too!!

here's another one:

After Gloria and her family moved out of the Bunker's home, Archie and Edith took in young Stephanie Mills. What was her relationship to Edith?

[Debby]

Wasn't she her neice? I'm not really sure on that one either...guess i should get out my old All in the family tapes and watch them again!!! :)

[Beezwax]

Col. Klink's claim to fame was...'No one has ever escaped from Stalag 13'.
no, Karen didn't tell me!

[Beezwax]

I have one!


For what reason did Alice quit working for the Bradys' on 'The Brady Bunch'?

[Karenluvs6]

Close Deb.
Stephanie was the daughter of Edith's cousin Floyd.

[Karenluvs6]

Here's another....

Otis was the most frequent visitor to the jail on The Andy Griffith Show....Why did he get locked up?

[In_His_Shadow]

Otis was always getting arrested for being drunk. Also for bootlegging.

Love Andy Griffith.

CJ

[Debby]

Awww, I actually knew that one!!About Otis! You beat me to it...LOL. I think the answer to the Brady Bunch question is..didn't she quit because she was marrying that butcher?

[In_His_Shadow]

The butcher was Sam. And I don't think that she married him... because in one of those Brady specials (The Brady Girls Get Married etc) she was planning on marrying Sam then.

CJ

[Debby]

Oh, maybe that's what I was thinking of. :)

[Karenluvs6]

You got it IHS! He was always intoxicated.
I don't think you were right about the Alice one though......I'll let Beezwax give the answer to it.

[Debby]

Okay, now I'm really curious about the answer to that one!!

[blinc]

Thouhgt Alice left to maarry Sam the Butcher too, hmm.

Here's a couple for ya...

What was the name of the dog on the BraDy bunch?

Can you name the mean girl who was the daughter of the store owners on Little house on the prairie?

[Karenluvs6]

OK, OK.....Beezwax hasn't been coming on...he's been working hard.
Sooooooo, I'll tell ya's.
Alice quit working for the Bradys' because she overheard all the kids' saying that she had turned into a snitch.
Remember? She told on Marcia for leaving the record player on, and Greg got snitched on for coming in super late....etc.....the kids' all got mad at her, and were saying that they couldn't believe Alice was snitching on them.
She got her feelings hurt and decided to leave.


OK there.
here are two more for you to think about:

How many rooms were inside Jeannie's bottle on I Dream Of Jeannie?

What were the names of Robbie and Katie's triplets on My Three Sons?

[Debby]

Oh wow....I think I finally got one!! Blinc....the mean daughter of the store owners on little house on the prairie was Nellie Olson!! :) And Karen, wasn't it just one room in Jeanne's bottle? (with lots of pillows) :) Okay I have one. On Sesamie Street....who was it that Big Bird saw that noone else did???

[blinc]

Yep Debby, Nellie Oleson was the mean girl! Yaay!

[Karenluvs6]

yep, you got it Deb.....it was just one room with lots of pillows.

um....was it snuffelupigus?? <---spell check!

[Debby]

Yes! Snuffleupigus it was!! On the facts of Life, what was the little black girls name?

[In_His_Shadow]

Tootie, played by Kim Fields

CJ

[Debby]

Yes it was Tootie!!! Anyone else have a question? I can't think of one right off.

[Karenluvs6]

are you kidding?
I've got a million of em!

Rob, Buddy and Sally all worked together on The Dick Van Dyke Show. What exactly did they do?


At the beginning of All In The Family series, Archie worked as a dock foreman. What was the name of the company that employed him?


When dressed in a Nazi uniform, one of the POWs bore a striking resemblence to Adolf Hitler on Hogan's Heroes.
Which prisoner was it?


these should be pretty easy!

[In_His_Shadow]

Again my age plays a factor in these questions.
I only watched the Dick VanDyke show. They were comedy writers for the Allen Brady Show. Rob was the head writer.

I didn't really watch the other shows so someone else will have to answer those.

CJ

[Debby]

I never watched Hogan's heros but I did watch All in the Family, but I can't for the life of me think of the answer!!

[jamesglewisf]

I watched all of these shows, and lately we've been watching All in the Family and the DVD show, but I don't know any of these either.

[blinc]

Just to avoid confusion... here are the four outstanding questions:

1) What was the name of the dog on the Brady Bunch?

2) What were the names of Robbie and Katie's triplets on My Three Sons?

3) At the beginning of All In The Family series, Archie worked as a dock foreman. What was the name of the company that employed him?

4) When dressed in a Nazi uniform, one of the POWs bore a striking resemblence to Adolf Hitler on Hogan's Heroes. Which prisoner was it?

I'm guessing on #4.. was it the little french guy, arrgh, can't remember his name!

[In_His_Shadow]

On number 4 the Hogan's Hero question, I only remember one person from the show so he will be my guess: Richard Dawson

CJ

[Karenluvs6]

On the Hogan's Heroes question, it was Sergeant Carter.

[TWTCommish]

Dog on the Brady's? That's easy: TIGER!

[blinc]

{toothy} Yep TWT, you got it!! Yaaay!

Why don't we give the answers on the others and start some new ones?

[TWTCommish]

Yeah sure - I don't know any of the others. I'm gonna get my butt whooped for the most part - the Brady thing was a fluke. I watch "Nick @ Nite" a little, but not that often.

[blinc]

Ooops, my boo-boo... I meant if the other people would post the answers to their questions, since none of us seem to know the answers.

Sooooo, do you have any new one's for us TWT?

I watch Nick at Night every now and then, like those old shows like Dick Van Dyke. :)

[TWTCommish]

Um, alright, how about these?:

- What is Kramer's first name? (Seinfeld - easy)
- What does "DJ" stand for? (Full House - medium)
- What is Grandpa's first name? (The Simpsons - a bit hard)
- Another Simpsons one: what is Krusty's Full name?

hehe.

[Debby]

Oh gosh dang it, I'm always so close yet so far!!! I know kramers first name was something really weird, but I can't remember. And all I know of Krusty's full name was Krusty the clown...lol... was DJ's name Darla Jean? Guess I'm not very good at this.

[TWTCommish]

Sorry, wrong-o on all counts. :)

[Debby]

I thought so... :(

[Military Mom]

Ok Chris - I have the answer to at least one of your questions -

COSMO KRAMER lol! My favorite episode about him was when he "Adopted a Highway" and un-painted all the lines to create a 'comfort cruise lane' then he had to go back and paint them all back on because of al the wrecks happening hahahha!!!!!

DJ - Delores Jane? Just guessing here, obviously.

The other 2 my husband and I are stumped?

Anyone else?

[Debby]

Cosmo!!!! Yes that was it!!! Dang it it was on the tip of my tounge...lol.... :)

[TWTCommish]

Cosmo is right - but DJ doesn't stand for that. 3 left to go! :)

[TWTCommish]

Bonus points for Kramer's mom's first name.

[Moe]

I knew that Kramer's first name was Cosmo. And the other one that I know is that the first name of grandpa on the Simpsons is Abe.

[TWTCommish]

Yup, old Abraham Simpson.

Two down! Three if you count the bonus question.

[Karenluvs6]

DJ stood for Donna Joe

[TWTCommish]

Bingo. Ya'll are getting closer. :) I don't think you'll be able to get them all, though.

[blinc]

3 - Eric Cartman, Kenny, Stan, Kile.

[Karenluvs6]

Krusty the Clown's full name is....

Hershel 'Krusty The Clown' Krustofski

[TWTCommish]

Dang, I didn't think anyone would get that one.

One more to go, I think.

[Debby]

Blinc, the Ingalls girls names on Little house on the Praire were Mary, Laura and Carrie. :)

[blinc]

Wow, you guys nailed the ones I posted! Eric, etc., yep you got 'em all Twt and Debby got the Ingalls girls right off the bat. geesh, need some tougher ones huh?

Ok... here ya go:

1) What is Kramer's mother's name on Seinfeld? (Twt's question)
2) What was the name of the Stevens two children on Bewitched? (yes, there were two)
3) What was the name of the nervous Aunt that kept goofing up her spells?

[Karenluvs6]

the Steven's kids' names.....Tabitha and Adam

[Karenluvs6]

was her aunt's name Ezmerelda?

NO NEVERMIND......It is Aunt Clara!

[blinc]

{stunned smiley} Gosh, I can't believe you got those right off the bat! Definitely need to come up with some harder ones.

I adored the Aunt Clara personality didn't you? Reminds me of a few of my own Great Aunts. {toothy}

[Debby]

My gosh don't make them harder!!! I actually had one right for the first time...lol. (the Ingalls one) and I was ready to guess ezmerelda on the other one, till I saw karen's post, and realized, yes it was aunt Clara. She was so sweet, even if she did get all her spells wrong. :)

[blinc]

Ack Debby, you're like me... I have the worst time remembering names. Can see the faces clear as a bell, but the names won't come!!

Ok, TWT, I do believe you stumped us with your question. What is Kramer's mother's name on Seinfeld? Can we PLEASE have the answer before we go insane? {toothy}

Ok, does someone have some new ones for us?

[Karenluvs6]

i still don't know Kramer's mothers name....{fire}

here's some more.....

What does Dr. Bellows constantly question about Major Nelson on 'I Dream Of Jeannie'?

Nevermind the pig, what was the name of the cow on 'Green Acres'?

On 'Bewitched', what name did Endora call Darrin?

[Debby]

Doesn't Dr. Bellows always question Major Nelson's sanity?

I can't remember what Endora called Darrin....oh wait....was it Derwood? (or Darwood)

I have one....what is Phoebe's twin sisters name on Friends.

[Karenluvs6]

YAY!

I've never watched Friends...darn!

[Debby]

Yaaay! I got them right.{mm}

[TWTCommish]

Kramer's mother is named "Babs". :) Or Barbara, of course.

[Karenluvs6]

[In_His_Shadow]

Pheobe's twin sisters name of Friends is Ursula and that character was also on Mad About You, playing a ditsy waitress.

CJ

CJ

That was a question? I knew that! Wish I'd seen it. :)

[Debby]

Yes, In_His_Shadow, it was Ursula! :)

[blinc]

Ok, I think that answers all of the outstanding questions... ready for some new ones? Good! {toothy}

1) Michael Landon played an angel on what TV Series?
2) What were the character names of the two commanders/colonels on M*A*S*H?
3) What happend to the first Colonel?

[Karenluvs6]

1) Highway to Heaven
2) McLean Stevenson played Col. Henry Blake and Harry Morgan played Col. Potter
3) Col Henry Blake was on his way home when his helicopter was shot down and he was killed.

This was one of my all time favorite shows! I think I've seen every single episode.

[blinc]

1)
2) Yes!
3) Yes! Wow, can't believe you got them both right off the bat like that. I had to stop and think about Col. Potter for awhile before I posted that. Oooh, you're good!!

[Karenluvs6]

what about the first question?
did I get that one wrong?!?

[blinc]

umm, you know.. I could have sworn that one was blank! *blink* *blink*
Dang eyes are going on me now.

Yes! You nailed all three of 'em Karen, way to go!

[Karenluvs6]

|B)

When Steve married Barbara Harper on My Three Sons, she brought a young daughter to the marriage. What was the little girl's name?

[Debby]

What was the name of the dog on the Dukes of Hazzard?

[Debby]

No sorry. But their car was General lee, maybe thats what you were thinking of.

[blinc]

[Debby]

hee-hee....you'll get it....keep thinking!! :)

[Karenluvs6]

[blinc]

ok... let's try this one. Can anyone name the two main characters on the old tv series "The Avengers"?

[Moe]

John Steed and Emma Peel

[blinc]

Well for goodness sakes... I thought that one would have y'all stumped for sure! Great going there Moe!!

Oooh, I just thought of an OLD show I used to watch as a kid. Bet this one gets ya. There was an old series that had a crosseyed lion on it. (Daktari I think was the name) Can you give the name of the lion?

[Debby]

Karen, Yes it was Flash!! :)

[blinc]

Okay, it's been awhile so I'll give the answer. Clarence! Clarence the Cross-eyed Lion. Doesn't anyone remember that show? It really is an oldie though, you youngsters probably never even heard of it. *sigh*
*creak*
*groan*

[Karenluvs6]

I wasn't even born yet!
I'll ask my mom about this one.


j/k

[blinc]

ouch. that one hurt! {toothy}
ask her mom indeed!
Guess I ought to be glad she didn't say she'd ask her grandma.

[Karenluvs6]

LOL!
I'm sorry my dear Blinc!
Beezwax made me do that.....and BTW...he told me to say Grandma...but I couldn't be that mean!
I have never heard of that show...but I do remember the lion.

[Debby]

In the old childrens TV series...by Sid and Marty Kroft....I beleive it was called Puffinstuff....

What was it that the little boy had (that he kept in his front shirt pocket) that the wicked witch was always trying to get ahold of???

[KatCo]

Debbie I believe it was a talking flute....I think....That was a long time ago! It was magical or possessed the answer to what "Witchiepoo" wanted. His name was Freddie I believe.

[Karenluvs6]

yes.....Debby is right. It was a magic flute.
does anyone know the flute's name?

[Debby]

Yes KatCo!!! You are right!! It was a magical flute...and the boys name was freddy!! But karen, I can't think of what the flutes name was, though. I sure did love that show when i was little!!!

[DkTahg]

The boys name was Jimmy (played by Jack Wild)

Freddy was the name of Jimmie's Magical talking flute.

Wichiepoo (played by Billie Hayes) was after Friddy to take for herself.

And the lovable Dragon was named H. R. Pufnstuf

[KatCo]

Here's another one...

What was the name of Audry Hepburn's vivacious yet vulnerable character played in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's?
