| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | TV TRIVIA Ok, looks like there is some interest in this. But we have to have some rules. Post a trivia question that you know the answer for. We will go with television for awhile and expand later. Whoever gets the answer correct has the floor and gets to post the next question. A new question cannot be posted until the member who posted the original question confirms that the answer is correct. If no one is answering correctly, clues may be given. And the most important rule of them all is absolutely no GOOGLING OR INTERNET SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS! NO CHEATING! Here we go..... Dick Van Dyke Show..... What is his son's, Ritchie Petrie, middle name? There was an entire episode devoted to this. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 DesertGuy Men's 60 224 posts | Great idea Dbax. I thought I knew, and went online to check, but was wrong. Since I cheated by checking, I'll not spoil the fun, But I am ready if I ever get one right and get the floor! Thanks! |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Thanks DG. I should have made it an easier one to start out with. Thanks for not spoiling it. I will give it another hour then give some hints. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | I saw that episode. Rosebud. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Rosebud is absolutely right! His middle name was made up from the first initial of various relatives. Stattad, the floor is yours. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Tater50 Men's 60 336 posts | Wasn't "Rosebud" the nickname given by Jack Elam to Clint Walker's daughter on "The Night of the Grizzly"? I have eeeeeeeeeed Clint on several occasions: he answers when he has time. Tater50 |
| Sept. 21, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | While we're at it and in between questions and answers the earliest TV shows I can recall watching (for me) was the hand puppet version of Bennie & Cecil (the seasick sea serpent/boy talk about an unfortunate birthright). I forget the Captains name (the heavy). And Kukla, Fran, and Ollie sometime shortly after that. Before that I don't think we had a TV yet (gasp) and I had to be content playing with Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs and such until my right handed Father decided to teach his left handed son how to hit and throw right handed so I kinda did that instead of staring at the wall waiting for TV to be invented and placed in front of me. There might be some earlier shows that I watched but won't remember until someone else brings them up. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Stattad, you are up............... |
| Sept. 21, 2007 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | What was the character portrayed by Robert Redford in his only Twilight Zone appearance? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Wasn't Redford the angel of death |
| Sept. 21, 2007 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Pete D Wan't that abou the same time as the puppet Howdy Duddy & Claieable the Clown with Mr Bob? Spelling wrong on the puppet |
| Sept. 21, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | I think Howdy, Clarabell, Finius T Bluster and the gang (brought to you by Hostess) was more advanced and came a little afterward. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | I remember the ole K,F,O, & Buster -Blk White shows,as well as the ole fight showes my dad used to watch. At least back then everything was clean and all. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | As for Robert Redford's character, I haven't a clue. KF&O was the first tv show that I remember. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | To keep this moving along, Lecak you are right. Redford played a police officer who was actually the Angel of Death. You are up. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | What was the character portrayed by Robert Redford in his only Twilight Zone appearance? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | Pressed the wrong key. Go Lecak! |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | OK Who was the 1st actor to play Joe Friday's sidekick on Dragnet, this one is tough |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | I take it, it it wasn't Harry Morgan? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | No the actor tansitioned from radio |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | The actor is not famous but the show was he died while filming the third episode he filmed the pilot and the actual first episode. I was a Dragnet fan sorry said it might be tough. They even made a radio episode where Jack webb spun his death as a tribute. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Joe, I looked it up. Very interesting career. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Ben something??? Kind of a big guy with a ruddy complexion? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Pete D I'm going to pass the torch to you, this was a tough one and even getting Ben Something was good, Ben Alexander was the replacement for the actor Barton Yarborough, don't ask why I know this stuff. Barton Yarborough was the radio transition guy and died during the 3rd episode. I'll pass to you look foreard to your trivia. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | PeteD you are at the plate. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Ok - should be an easy one as I'm not a TV fanatic. What was the name of the maid in Topper? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Man, you guys are playing tough tonight. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Wow this is one rough crowd. I loved Amos and Andy when I was a kid. The Kingfish was the star comedian of the show and one of the finest true comedians of 20th Century America, a better and less violent man than Ralph Cramden and who remembers/knows his name? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | I just looked this up, Pete. Maggie the Cook or Katie. Which one were you talking about? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Joe, you must first answer a question correctly before you are allowed to post one. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Joe, No Googling allowed. Holy Cow! LOL |
| Sept. 21, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Sorry Dbax, my bad. I got excited. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | I understand. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | So Pete, I'll say Katie because you said it was the maid and not the cook. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Sorry guys. I never read Dave's original post and didn't realize the protocol involved. I'll remove myself and my question. The answer was/is Tim Moore. |
| Sept. 21, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | That's ok by me. Actually, both answers are correct but I didn't know there were two when I asked. We can all go out drinking with Neal...... I pass the baton Is Rama the Jungle Boy in the house? |
| Sept. 21, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Einstein, you are up. I'm going to bed. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Einstein, you are up. I'm going to bed. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | NEW one in reverse: This preson played in at least TWO western series: Jock Mahoney, what were they. Seems most are able to remember the person if they the show, title, but how about knowing the horse and or not. Hint: One Horses name was Rawhide |
| Sept. 22, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I didn't realize the Jock Mahoney play something besides Tarzan. I cheated and went to google. Here is another tidbit: During the filming of *************, Mahoney met and marrried an actress, Maggie Field, a divorced woman with a daughter, Sally. Yes, THAT Sally Field, was Jock Mahoney's stepdaughter |
| Sept. 22, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Let's review the RULES. ............. Whoever gets the answer correct has the floor and gets to post the next question. A new question cannot be posted until the member who posted the original question confirms that the answer is correct. If no one is answering correctly, clues may be given. And the most important rule of them all is absolutely no GOOGLING OR INTERNET SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS! NO CHEATING! Einstein is at the plate. No one can post a question until they correctly answer his. Unless he passes the floor to someone else. |

| Sept. 22, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | OK. I think I got it straight on what we're doing. I'm up. Let's go back to Amos and Andy. What was the Kingfish's surname on the show. The actor was Tim Moore, a brilliant albeit forgotten comedian. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Einstein, you seem to have stumped us. You can give hints or post the answer and another question. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Wonder if that was the lightning guy that he's talking about. Cause there was one somewhere in that show ??? |
| Sept. 22, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Lightnin' was a different character. Kingfish was also a friend to Amos 'n Andy. I don't know what his surname was on the show though. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Nope - Lightning moved about as fast as most of us do now! Kingfisher was the big talking shucker and jiver but that's all I remember about him. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | All I remeber is that is was on it and I watched the pgm. It was either watch TV ot some mistuff with fireworks I horded. All about the age of 5. Lady fingers to m-80s a few years later through HS. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 einstein Men's 50 3112 posts | Sorry guys. I got side-tracked. George Stevens was his name. Calhoun was the lawyer. Amos was the cab driver Andy was friend and Sapphire was his wife. I pass my turn. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Good question Joe. I will keep this going.............. Leave It To Beaver What was Beaver's chubby friends name? First and Last. |
| Sept. 22, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I couldn't stand it, had to google. |

| Sept. 22, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Mayberry RFD? |
| Sept. 23, 2007 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Either that or Matlock. |
| Sept. 23, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | I have to be wrong. I believe Mayberry RFD was spun off after The Andy Griffith Show. |
| Sept. 23, 2007 Gary33 149 posts | Pete you are right Mayberry RFD was a spin off of the Andy Griffith show |
| Sept. 23, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | How about "Andy of Mayberry"? |
| Sept. 23, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I just Googled it. I am shocked at the correct answer! |
| Sept. 23, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Wow! Great question.........we ought to put a time limit on someone getting this one right. Since Dbax started this thread and asked the stumper we can only wonder what he has stored away for the next question. Ouch in anticipatory advance. |
| Sept. 23, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Sorry guys, been to a couple of Diamondback games this weekend. The Andy Griffith Show was a spin off of "Make Room For Daddy" The Danny Thomas Show. Stand by for another question. |
| Sept. 23, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Getting back to Howdy Doody........... Clarabell the Clown went on to become another famous TV character..........Who was he? |

| Sept. 23, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Last words of Orson Wells in the movie. Pete, had to Google it. Have to admit I never heard of this show! |
| Sept. 23, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | That surprises me Dbax - must have been part of my ill spent youth ( 8 |
| Sept. 24, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Boink - times up after about 12 hours I guess I was the only one that saw Andy Devine on "Andy's Gang" starring Midnight the Cat, Froggy the Gremlin, Squeaky the Mouse, and Rama the Jungle Boy with his cliff hanging serial adventure endings. The show was sponsored by Buster Brown Shoes and when Andy grinningly opened the box there was Buster Brown and his dog - probably leading to a commercial. <> <> <> <> <> If this thread still has interest we'll try for another - Every kid drank Ovaltine wanting a secret decoder ring and wishing he were cool like Captain Midnite flying around getting bad guys straigtened out. Who took care of the plane and what was it's name? |
| Sept. 24, 2007 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I vaguely remember the Andy Devine show. As for your latest question, I don't know. |
| Sept. 24, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Pete D I think the name of the plane was the Silver Dart... Can't remember who took care of it... Docswear |
| Sept. 24, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | That's good enough for me. The tech/mechanic/serviceman was Ikky Mudd. I'm not sure how I remember some of this but I can still remember alot from Mass. (left at 3). Just don't ask me where I put stuff 10 minutes ago. We have a winner = Docswear. I'm not sure if he's a Doc that swears or he walks around in scrubs but he's up! Oh-oh here comes a Doctor Kildare question........... |
| Sept. 24, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | Ok, trivia buffs... Who was the narrator on the original television series in the 60's..... The Fugitive???? docswear |
| Sept. 24, 2007 southpaw Men's 70 1077 posts | Hey Guys, looks like you are having a bunch of fun. Just passing through; don't know the answer to the Fugitive question. Did you ever get an answer to the Jock Mahoney query? It was "Yancy Derringer". Now, what was the name of Yancy's Indian sidekick? |
| Sept. 24, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | docswear william conrad I do believe |
| Sept. 24, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | The Sheriff must step in again. Docswear has control of the board!! |
| Sept. 24, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Oops, my mistake, I did not know which question Lecak was answereing. My bad! And Joe, I think you are right. But wait for confirmation from Docswear. |
| Sept. 24, 2007 docswear Men's 55 99 posts | That deep unmistakable voice was indeed William Conrad long before his glory days of a donut-loving crime chaser. sorry I am so slow in jumping back in.. working today.. Lecak you are up (or is southpaw) docswear |
| Sept. 24, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Lecak, give us a good one. |
| Sept. 24, 2007 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Dbax I don't think this will disappoint Who auditioned and lost out on the casting role to play Maryanne on Gilligans Island. I do believe that this person if having gotten the role would have wrecked a lot of little boys for the balance of their lives. |
| Sept. 24, 2007 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | I hate it when I don't know the answer. I will guess, Phylis Diller |
| Sept. 24, 2007 4x4 Men's 65 601 posts | Dbax - you might want to start a new thread TV2 after the next answer otherwise the only thread taking up the SSUSA first page will be a TV page and might not be appreciated or could be considered rude.......... |
