That actor is Joby Baker, who is currently working as an abstract artist (painter)!
In which episode does one of the characters keep referring to himself in a low, dull tone as, "Paul Revere," and which character is it?
Steve
:rofl: That one ALWAYS cracks me up! It is Mel and it is in the episode entitled "The Redcoats are Coming." It is Mel's security password.
Who is Wendell Henderson? (There are 2 of them)
Lolac
:crazy:
Larry Surrell 03-14-2005, 08:34 PM The first Wendell Henderson wasn't seen, but his name was read as one of the elevator inspectors in "4 1/2". The second Wendell Henderson was a seal and Sugar's husband, the woman who danced the hanky panky for Rob in "Bad Reception in Albany".
When Rob's Jeep broke down on his wedding day, how did he get to the chapel and how long did it take?
SawgrassSteve 03-16-2005, 12:06 AM When Rob's Jeep broke down on his wedding day, how did he get to the chapel and how long did it take?
Larry Surrell,
He hopped - for two and a half hours! While Laura waited at the chappel with her Aunt Mildred who came all the way from "o-HI-ohhh!"
What do you think his good leg must've felt like in the morning??? :D

Good one, Lolac. Made me sit back and think!
William Handlebuck is the IRS officer in "The Impractical Joke." He was played by Alvy Moore (Mr. Kimble), of "Green Acres."
Has this been asked and answered? If so, pardon me.
Why does Laura have two maiden names and what are they?
Steve
Carrie 03-16-2005, 01:11 PM Laura's two maiden names are Meeker and Meehan. The first was used because it was her real husband's last name. After they got divorced, it was changed to Meehan.
I can't think of one right now. Someone else can go. :)
David VP 03-17-2005, 02:16 AM Among the plethora of little nitpicks in "The Cat Burglar" episode, I discovered yet another recently -- Can anyone figure it out? ...... This "gaffe" I'm thinking of occurs just after Jerry sticks the rifle through the unique COMPLETELY GLASSLESS window in the Petrie bedroom (LOL! That is Nitpick #7 from this ep. :)) -- Laura says something right at this moment which is proven to be false in the very next scene in the program.
What is it?
A free box of Dozey-Doodles to the winner. :)

David VP 03-22-2005, 01:58 AM What color are Dozey Doodles?
Oh, I just realized this is probably meant as a legit Q. :)
"Dozeys" are blue in hue. (So says Buddy Sorrell.)

David,
I thought this question looked familiar. I've done it too, so don't feel badly, but you've asked this question before, and I anwsered it! It was on Feb 4, 2005 remember? :nod:
The answer is $12.75 w/tip (gees, what did they have, lobster?) :lol: .
Don't worry, David. There's a place for us.

In which 4 consecutive episodes does Rob not wear his wedding ring in season 3?
Carrie 04-14-2005, 04:40 PM Anyone?
:)
Anyone?
:)
Those have got to be the episodes where he's dating Laura and is not yet married.
Carrie 04-15-2005, 04:36 PM No, none of them are flashback episodes from when he and Laura weren't married yet. One of the episodes centers around Rob having amnesia and ending up in Red Hook, NJ.
SawgrassSteve 04-25-2005, 09:18 AM In which 4 consecutive episodes does Rob not wear his wedding ring in season 3?
Carrie,
Would those be episodes #67 - #70, "Very Old Shoes, Very Old Rice," "Uncle George," "Too Many Stars," & "Who and Where Was Antonio Stradivarius?" :confused:

SawgrassSteve 06-14-2005, 10:01 AM Excellent question, bjer
Pyle's birthday is listed as Dec 25, 1920, while Marie's is Aug 15, 1923, so actually, he's not that much older at all! (sorry, Rose!)

Hm, well this forum isn't as active as it once was, I guess. Anyway, in "Too Many Stars," Rob, Laura and the Latino girl do one cabaret number ... and how does that answer the quandary of who should be the Gold Rush Girl? That's what I'm wondering.
Lolac 06-19-2005, 11:22 AM To answer your question, Rob chose both Laura and Anita and renamed the play "The Gold Rush Twins." I love that episode! I love the scene where "Hang-lip" Harry's wife is screaming at him to "GET IN THE CAR!!" That is one of my laugh out loud moments!!

Hmm, I think you're thinking of "Someone Has to Play Cleopatra" -- one of the kids is sick. Just another time when Rob got snookered by Mrs. Billingsley to direct the local play.
Anyway, I was thinking that the "Gold Rush Girl" was at least a one-act play. Do you think they split up the lines between Laura and the other girl? Oh well.

Steve
Lolac 09-22-2005, 11:44 AM During the run of the show, which Petrie got sick or injured more. Rob, Laura or Richie :drool: ?
Steve
Laura was sick in "The Long Day's Journey Into Night," and "Pink Pills for Purple Parents." She was injured in "Never Bathe on Saturday," "The Brave and the Backache," "Oh, How We Met the Night We Danced," and "Punch Thy Neighbor." I don't know if this counts, but she had sore muscles in "To Tell or Not to Tell." Pregnancy is not a sickness, so I don't think I'll count the false labor in "4 1/2" or the real labor in "Where Did I Come From?"
Ritchie was sick in "The Sick Boy and the Sitter," and "The Night the Roof Fell In." He was injured in "A Bird in the Head Hurts," "Washington vs. the Bunny," (his arm is broken in a dream sequence), and "Girls Will Be Boys."
Rob was sick in "The Meershatz Pipe," "Gesundheit, Darling," "The Ballad of the Betty Lou," "The Death of the Party," "The Ugliest Dog in the World," (allergy to dog). He was injured in "Forty-four Tickets," (gets kicked under the table, old lady hits foot with umbrella), "Punch Thy Neighbor," "Where Did I Come From," "The Attempted Marriage," "A Man's Teeth Are Not His Own," "Will You Two Be My Wife?", "Don't Trip Over That Mountain," "Divorce," "Who and Where Was Antonio Stradivarius?" "The Brave and the Backache," "Honeymoons Are For the Lucky," (he has to pull off the false eyelashes he glued on to his natural lashes :lol: ), "My Mother Can Beat Up My Father," "Viva Petrie," "Body and Sol," and "You're Under Arrest." There were a couple that you could stretch the point, but I didn't include those.
So, that makes Rob the Winner! :dance:
Lolac
octobereve 09-22-2005, 11:45 AM I would have to say Rob. He sprained his body while skiing, had a hurt ankle while running to the wedding chapel, a virus when he got married, a virus in the Meerschaum Pipe episode, a virus when Laura's relatives came to visit, a Sissimanunu backache, hurt himself while wrestling a stuffed monkey, thought he was allergic to Laura, broke his tooth eating a chicken salad sandwich. There are probably more that I can't think of.

I'm thinking it is in "Very Old Shoes, Very Old Rice," where they get married again. Laura says they need someone to watch Rich and when the judge questions them, "Rich?", they say Rich is their dog. One of my favorite lines from the whole series is at the end of this episode when they say they promised to take Rich to the movies and Mr. Parker (the witness played brilliantly by Burt Mustin) says, "Even at my age, I'd rather go on a honeymoon than take a dog to the movies!" :rofl: :rofl: :dog: :dog:
That line always makes me laugh out loud! :lol:

SawgrassSteve 10-02-2005, 09:51 AM A funny episode Lolac, but the wrong one :( .

hrstultz 10-02-2005, 10:53 AM I know its the episode where The Alan Brady show does a skit about a dog and Buddy and Sally doesn't want to bring the dog home. Rob gets stuck taking the ugly, smelly dog home. I can't think what the call the dog. I am on the right track?

That's a real complement, Lolac, considering how hard you guys are to stump!

Laura's cousin, Donna, designed a common article of clothing for herself to wear. The unusual thing is that she designed it in three separate pieces instead of one. What was it?

Which TDVDS character might be most familiar with a Malocclusion and why?
Steve
Lolac 11-05-2005, 01:58 PM Rob in "A Man's Teeth Are Not His Own." He broke one tooth on a bone of a chicken sandwich and Dr. Barthoffen fixed another tooth that needed fixing. The malocclusion probably comes from the temporary inlay on the broken tooth.

SawgrassSteve 11-06-2005, 12:26 PM Those are they, Lolac. You got all three. And you're also right about the pool table not being an unusual item, although I thought it might be unusual to find one in the basement of a ranch-style home.

Oops! I goofed.
Ok, here's what happened. I thought the Petries had two built-in ovens, one atop the other. I guess the counter for the cook top range usually cuts off the broiler just below the handle in many shots, but as I was just watching the "Walnut" ep today, I could clearly see that it's a bottom broiler and not another oven. I should've known something was amiss if so many of you were stumped.
Sorry!

Steve
octobereve 12-05-2005, 01:49 PM Let's see, Rob was the jury foreman and the defendant was the sexy Marla Hendricks, Rob sued over the chicken feather pillows, Rob got arrested for assaulting an officer when he accidentally fired Maureen Core's little cannon, Rob got arrested for allegedly hitting an old lady, Rob was a witness to the witnesses of a robbery fleeing the area, Rob called the police on Harrison B. Harding, The Petries were the victims of burglars who stole their dining set. Does their Mexican divorce count as something to do with court? A cat burglar stole Rob's birthday watch, but I can't remember if the police played any part in that one.

Who said what and why?
Steve
octobereve 12-10-2005, 04:47 PM I think I have half the answer. Lyle Delp in 4 1/2 called Laura a "fat lady" cuz she was pregnant at the time. Oh! I just remembered the other part of the answer. Millie said that Laura was "smart and sexy" on Coast to Coast Big Mouth cuz that's the kind of audience member they pick to be a contestant.

David VP 12-17-2005, 01:15 AM Re. the "mayonnaise" (tooth-breaking) quote....
I think Sally said it.
Bzzzzz! Incorrect. Buddy said the mayo line. Go to the back of the room and clap erasers for such Van Dyke ignorance! ;)
The mayo line came right after Sally said "You broke your tooth on a bone?"
Here's a nifty little "gaffe" (sort of). I know this might seem a tad on the repulsive side, but as a Van Dyke Show aficionado, I feel it's my duty to pass along ALL Van Dyke trivia (even stuff like this)......
In the Season-Three episode "My Neighbor's Husband's Other Life", after Rob and Laura arrive back home after observing Jerry having dinner with "Toni Gagliardi" at the "White Peacock" (West), Rob is talking to Laura while eating a cookie. During this cookie-eating scene, as Rob utters the words "Forget what I said" (which culminates a very funny hunk of dialogue after Rob assures Laura "Look, honey, when a man is out on the town, he doesn't go around telling girls he's married -- Forget what I said!" :lol:).
In the midst of Rob's "Forget what I said" line, guess what occurs?? -- Answer: Rob loses part of the cookie he's eating...with a piece of the snack food easily visible on camera as he accidentally spits it out. :)
Interestingly (or not :)), you might like to know that there's yet another episode where Rob can be seen spitting out food. In "A Surprise Surprise Is A Surprise", at the breakfast table early in the show, Rob loses a tiny piece of egg (I think it's egg) as he's eating and talking at the same time.
SawgrassSteve 12-17-2005, 11:17 AM David,
I noticed both of those spewings, but didn't think anyone else did. Might we both be similarly maladjusted :lol: ?
Steve
SawgrassSteve 12-17-2005, 11:57 AM Because Buddy had dibs on Laura if Rob married Joan Delroy!
Lolac
:lol:
Right, Lolac!
Although Buddy and I would have to wrestle for the priviledge - even in my current condition! Oh wait, I'm married now! (Sigh) Nevermind.
What is "The Solid White Zebra"?
Steve
Dorothys BestPal 12-17-2005, 10:02 PM The name of the musical that Rob & Laura see with Millie,Jerry, and the Staggs,
David VP 12-18-2005, 01:06 AM Indeed, correct (a "Thornton Alsbury production", btw). :)
And, yes, Steve, I have little doubt that you and I ARE both "similarly maladjusted". I confirmed this tonight when I subconsciously found myself addressing a Christmas card to "Laura Petrie; 448 Bonnie Meadow Road; New Rochelle, N.Y.". It was only after I logged on to switchboard.com (to retrieve the correct Zip Code for New Rochelle) did I return to reality and realize what the heck I was doing.
I then realized that Laura doesn't live on Bonnie Meadow Road anymore! She's at "119 North Weatherly" in Minneapolis, for heaven sake! So I crumpled up that envelope and had to start all over. :(
:D :) :D :)
Lolac 12-18-2005, 10:52 AM DavidVP, The Petries lived at 148 Bonnie Meadow Rd. not 448. You're not as anal as you think!
Lolac
:lol:
octobereve 12-18-2005, 11:06 AM Wasn't the 448 address mentioned in at least one episode?
David VP 12-18-2005, 03:44 PM Yes...I believe "448" is mentioned in at least one show as the Petrie's address. But Lolac is MORE correct...because "148" is the MOST-USED address number. (I will now, dutifully, go out yonder and slash my wrists due to this blunder.) :)
BTW -- A third address variant can be found in the ep. "The Curious Thing About Women", when the address of "468 Bonnie Meadow Rd." can easily be read on the boat box Laura opens up.
SawgrassSteve 12-18-2005, 06:47 PM I never cared for a life of ease, but mine was really a peach!
My place was small, but a swim and a snack were never out of reach.
Then someone grabbed me, took me away, and took me off that track.
And here I sit in a terrarium, with a family on my back :mad: !
Who Am I?

Steve
octobereve 01-07-2006, 12:54 PM Mrs. Peters. She just couldn't miss seeing Rob's expression when he saw that the Peters were black.
SawgrassSteve 01-10-2006, 03:12 PM That's right, OctoberEve!
Now,
Besides the obvious, what do these names have in common?
Marge
Richie
Millie & Jerry
Rob
Steve
octobereve 01-10-2006, 04:43 PM Nicknames for their proper names?
Marge=Marjorie or Margaret
Richie=Richard
Millie=Mildred
Jerry=Jerome
Rob=Robert
SawgrassSteve 01-11-2006, 12:21 AM Nicknames for their proper names?
Your answer is accurate, OctoberEve, but not the one I'm looking for. ohno:
Steve
hrstultz 01-11-2006, 11:08 AM these names were named after real life people.
Marge- Dick Van Dyke's wife
Millie and Jerry- Carl Reiner's real life neighbors
Rob-Carl Reiners son name
Richie- Mary Tyler Moore's son name
SawgrassSteve 01-11-2006, 02:28 PM these names were named after real life people.
Correct, hrstultz!
Now,
We know Richie is an only child, but did Rob & Laura ever mention having another? If so, how many times?
Steve
hrstultz 01-11-2006, 03:08 PM Yes, they did mention about having another one. I beleive it was 2 times.
octobereve 01-11-2006, 09:16 PM The only one I can think of is from the Harrison B. Harding episode. Rob and Laura hear Ritchie telling the Hardings that his father promised that someday he'll have siblings. So Laura gives Rob a look, and Rob tells her that he's been meaning to talk to her about that.
SawgrassSteve 01-12-2006, 09:47 AM Yes, they did mention about having another one. I beleive it was 2 times.
You got it, hrstultz!
OctoberEve,
The "Harding" ep was the first time. In it, according to Richie, Rob promised him a sibling, which means I may have uncovered another break in the continuation of the show; "Revisited" should have featured another Petrie child born to them later in life, as so many couples are doing today (preferrably a daughter)! The second time was in Season 5's "Go Tell The Birds & Bees", ep #136. I know you'll remember this; in the tag scene Laura sort of laments Richie's not being a baby anymore, and Rob says, "It would be fun to have another one, wouldn't it?" Laura agrees.
Steve
BTW,
I have the perfect actress! Being already a classically trained dancer, I'd like to have seen "Las Vegas" star, Nikki Cox play little Laura. She even has many of her facial expressions!
SawgrassSteve 01-12-2006, 08:48 PM Who's are these? Answer as many as you can.

13) Monacle--Uncle Hepzibah?
SawgrassSteve 01-13-2006, 04:30 PM That's very good, OctoberEve. But #12 is incorrect, and on #13, is that the Uncle's correct name?
Steve
octobereve 01-13-2006, 04:46 PM The marked deck wasn't Rob's magic cards?
Doh! Uncle Hezikiah or however you spell it. Hepzibah is really one of Samantha's witchy aunts or something like that on Bewitched!
SawgrassSteve 01-13-2006, 05:18 PM LOL!
I thought I recognized that name!
No, the cards belonged to someone else, unless I'm once again mistaken.
Steve
octobereve 01-13-2006, 05:45 PM I think I got it now. They are Ritchie's cards. Rob gave them to him when he was demonstrating magic tricks in the kitchen before the company showed up.
SawgrassSteve 01-14-2006, 09:44 AM Right, OctoberEve.
The cards did start out being Rob's in that episode, but for the majority of it, they belonged to Richie. At least, that's what I was going on when I posed the question.
Anybody else want to try?
There's still #4 and #10 to be answered, and other possible answers for #8 and #13.

Didn't Buddy wear a monacle briefly in the episode where the reporter from the magazine was supposed to sit in on their day at work. He comes in in a naval outfit and Rob says "Oh, hello, Prince Philip."
Didn't the Maltese Cross Pin belong to Sally?
And didn't Mel own a toupee also in one episode, the one where Buddy quits and they try to get his job back?
