TV TRIVIA
 

OK, we have Movie Trivia (in fact, several different threads), so I will start a TV TRIVIA thread. In fact, it is the latest round of "Name the Actor" that inspires me to pose the 1st question.


Which manufacturer built the Addams Family's grand harpsichord (i.e. the one that Lurch always played)?

Re: TV TRIVIA
 

Ok Fluff seeing as tho your participate in my games I will kick off your new one. Steinway & Sons? Is Fluff ok with you? My nickname is Spookie by the way.

FL3 is good. :D

Unfortunately, it is not Steinway & Sons. Remember this is the "Addams Family" were talking about.. :D

Hint: They did a whole episode about it. Someone heard Lurch playing and wanted to buy the harpsichord... much to Lurch's dismay. They finally were able to replicate it, and the crowning feature was Uncle Fester sticking the label of the mfgr. on the harpsichord... this to assure Lurch of its "authenticity."

I'm going to go ahead and give you this one, Spookie, Your turn. I'm not sure when/if I'll be on tomorrow. I hope to get on tomorrow afternoon or evening. Hopefully, we won't lose power or Internet Access.

The harpsichord brand was "Krupnik."

Yours

OK

For those fans of "Dragnet (1967-70)," What was the unit number of Sgt. Joe Friday's / Bill Gannon's standard cruiser, and what was their FCC radio frequency call sign? (two different things).

I have not seen Dragnet since I was a kid so no way do I recall either of those.

Cruiser ID: 1 K 80 (K=King) Just like (1 Adam 12).
FCC ID: KMA 367

Your turn.

Re: TV TRIVIA
 

When The Munsters ended the two leads went into a new series. Name it.

"Car 54 Where are You" comes to mind.

In re: "leads" are you referring to Gwynne/DeCarlo? And did they both go into the same series or different series?

No, Car 54 came before The Munsters....

The only thing I can think of is "Munster Go Home," if both starred in this.. but it wasn't a series, it was a single TV movie, if I recall correctly.

Otherwise, I have no idea.

I have mislead you both sorry. Car 54 did come before Munsters. The two actors I was looking for were Fred Gwynn and grandpa Munster.. Al Lewis?

Munsters Go Home was a theatrical movie based on the sitcom.

Then I have no idea.

OK, FL, since you misled everyone, you should forfeit your next turn, LOL!

And How/Where did I mislead anyone?

It was Spookie, not you, my bad.

Nobody's posting anything, so I'll go:



What television family lived at 1164 Morning Glory Circle?

I should know this Giddy. Clue please.

60's ABC sitcom

Was All In the Family the 60s? Will have another shot The Honeymooners? Otherwise more clues.

Darren & Samantha Stevens.... "Bewitched."

Open to the floor.

Bewitched is correct.

I'll go:

On the CBS series MASH, when Mike Farrell's BJ Honeycutt replaced Wayne Rogers' Trapper John, despite temptation all around, BJ never touched a woman in Korea because he was hopelessly devoted to his wife and daughter back home. What were the name's of BJ's wife and daughter?

Peg Hunnicutt (nee Hadden) and Erin.

In the 1960's show "My Mother, the car..." what was the year and make of the car in question?

Never saw it. Wild stab..a Chevvy. .

A 1928 Porter, (maybe a 1929, but I think it was a 1928). (By coincidence, I just watched the first few episodes of that show a few days ago.)

1928 is correct.

Your turn.

In the final episode of the TV show "Becker", Dr. Becker complains about a female patient, saying, "I pity the poor bastard who's married to her.". Who played the female patient, and why is the actress significant?

Ted Danson (Becker)'s Wife, Mary Steenburgen

Here's a good one, considering the President's affiliation with TV game/reality shows. There was, in fact, a 1960's game show filmed very much near his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Name the show and its host.

I'm curious as to where you located episodes of My Mother the Car

If it's not The Millionaire with John Beresford Tipton, we're going to need a hint.

It's not. Hard to give hints without giving it away.

OK, here's one.... It was filmed " ♫♪ on sunny Palm Beach Shores ♪♫ " (that phrase being part of the theme music)...

That hint was no help at all, can we get something else?

It's the best I can do without giving it away. Let someone else take a shot at it, if there is no answer by tomorrow, I'll give the answer.

OK, Reveal time.

Treasure Isle, Starring John Bartholomew Tucker. Filmed at the old Colonnades Beach Hotel on Singer Island, Palm Beach Shores, FL, in 1968. About 10 miles north of Mar-a-Lago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHJtmr2XCzU

Open to the floor.

The whole series is only 30 episodes, and it's on YouTube for free. It's not great quality, but it's watchable.

For the record, I have never heard of Treasure Isle or John Batholomew Tucker and wouldn't have gotten that in a million years. You said open floor, so here goes:


On the CBS comedy Maude, Maude's husband, Walter (Bill Macy) was not her first husband, what number husband was he?

But you're not the only one playing the game. My game is open to all, and I believe in offering fair challenges to everyone.

4th.

Correct

OK, Next question.

Similar to the "My Mother the Car," Show, there was another sit-com type show in the 60's called "Please Don't Eat the Dasies...," starting Patricia Crowley as Ms. Nash, the mother. The series featured a pair of identical twins as part of the family.

What was the name of the family pet dog?

Lord Nelson

That was the dog's real name. What I was looking for was the dog's "character's" name, which was Lad-a-dog.

Nonetheless, your turn.

How did Rosallind Shays (Diana Muldaur) die on LA Law?

Fell down an open elevator shaft.

Correct...your turn

In the TV Series, "Emergency!" what was the radio call sign used to acknowledge a dispatch call?

Re: TV TRIVIA
 

10-4

That's not a call sign. That's a "radio code" meaning "message acknowledged." A "call sign" is a code issued by the FCC by which the people using that frequency identify themselves as the entity that is licensed to use that frequency for the purpose stated on the license.

On the Emergency! TV show, the call sign was given (in place of 10-4) when being initially dispatched at the station.

What Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor made his television debut on a TV series called Cutter to Houston?

I gather the answer you're looking for is Alec Baldwin... but, technically, the correct answer is "nobody," given how you phrased the question.

Alec Baldwin's "TV debut" was *not* Cutter to Houston (1983), but as the character Billy Aldrich in the daily soap opera, "The Doctors" (1980-1982).:

I should have said prime time debut, my bad. Even so, you don't have to be so snotty about it, get over yourself.

Same advice, right back at ya....

Given the early success of MTV and it's initial mission of playing music videos, one of the "Big Three" broadcast network launched a show attempting to replicate that success for itself.

Name the network, the show and the night on which it aired.

Not a clue

NBC - Friday Night Videos...

The ABC series Desperate Housewives was narrated by a character who is revealed to have just committed suicide in the pilot. What was the character's name?

Brenda Strong, playing Mary Alice Young.

Open to the floor.

What late actor played Roseanne's father on the ABC sitcom Roseanne?

John Randolph, who played Al Harris.

In a nod to the previous question, what other TV actor and writer's real name began with John Randolph (although he went by a different, more familiar name)?

Answer: John Randolph Webb, aka "Jack Webb" of Dragnet fame. Webb actually used "John Randolph" as a Pseudonym when writing various episodes of Dragnet.

Who provided the voice of Pebbles on the CBS animated series Pebbles and Bamm Bamm?

Sally Struthers.

Correct...your turn

Who was the first actress to play "Victoria Winters" on the Gothic Soap opera "Dark Shadows," and what is significant about her upbringing?

Well done FL3. I never knew Sally was Pebbles voice. Who was Bam Bams voice? Freds was that bloke who used to be the talking horse i recall reading somewhere. I could be wrong tho.

Absolutely no idea FL3. Only watched one or two episodes. Never took to it.

Funny you should ask.... It was Jay North, famous for playing "Dennis the Menace" in the so named series.

Fred was played in most of the "Flintstones" series (and in the Pebbles and Bam Bam show) by Alan Reed.

Mr. Ed was voiced by Allan Lane.

Answer: Alexandra Moltke, daughter of Danish Royalty (father was Count Carl Adam Moltke of Denmark).

OK, maybe this one is a little easier.

Speaking of Jay North (Dennis the Menace), he also starred in another TV series as a young teenager. The series was actually about a specific animal. Name the series. Extra credit if you can name his co-star (who became a teen heartthrob at the time).

Smartie. Put me in my place.:p Got the Alan part anyway. Jay North voiced Bam Bam?

Sorry mate. Not a clue. Did not watch it.

I'll reveal tomorrow if no one else answers.

Maya?

Answer: Maya, the Indian Elephant. The co-star was Sajid Kahn.

Re: TV TRIVIA
 

Name who played the mother in All In the Family?

Who's mother? There was more than one. If you mean "Gloria's mother," that would be Jean Stapleton, who played Edith Bunker.

Sorry to mislead. That is who I meant. You got it spot on. Yours.

Gotta feeling I saw that a long, long time ago FL3.

OK, here's an "Australian" themed TV Trivia question.

The series, "The Crocodile Hunter" series featured the late Steve Irwin. It was shown in the USA on the "Discovery Channel." But, before it was a series, Steve had done a few specials for the Discovery Chanel, one of which featured the "Ten most Venomous Snakes...." all of which, the show claimed are located in Australia.

Name each of the 10 deadliest Snakes featured on the show, starting with #10.

Re: TV TRIVIA
 

My computer crashed FL3. Sorry about that. You are kidding. I may be able to name the snakes but not in order of deadliness. Taipan, Death Adder, Black snake, brown snake.several varieties.Think there is a Tiger Snake. That is all. The Taipan is the most venomous.

Sorry your computer crashed. Here is the list in order of least to most venomous.

10) Western Brown (near Darwin, Northern Territory)
09) Death Adder
08) Giant Tiger Snake (Mt. Chappel Island, near Tasmania).
07) Western Tiger Snake (Perth)
06) Beaked Sea Snake (GBR)
05) Tiger Snake, Reevsby Island (near Adelade)
04) Eastern Tiger Snake, Great Dividing Range
03) Taipan (costal)
02) Eastern Brown (Common Brown)
01) Fierce Snake (Inland Taipan)

When I visited Australia Zoo, I did have a conversation With Wes, Steve's right hand man (at the time). I asked him which of these 10 did he consider to be the most dangerous to human populations? It isn't necessarily the most venomous (Fierce Snake) since it's very docile and way out in the Outback, etc. Wes believed the most dangerous to be the "Coastal Taipan."

Your turn.

Re: TV TRIVIA
