Lolac,
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)

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".

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!"

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. :)

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,
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: .

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.

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:

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:

When first we met, she was barely more than just a little girl.
Being nimble of foot, she went off with USO to see the world.
Before her flight I realized we'd somehow struck a cord.
So I thought it best the let her know how much I loved my Lord.

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.

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. :(

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.

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

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.

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!
