I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I thought it might be fun to ask questions about the show to see how much we know about TDVDS. Whoever gets the question right gets to post the next one.

In what episode did Alan Brady visit the writer's office for the first time?

Was it "Talk to the Snail". If I am right, I have a question ready

Yes, your turn. :)

Here goes

What was Valerie Blakes real name?

Dick Van Dyke. He also did the one one if Mel on the punching bag in the office in "When a Bowling Pin Talks, Listen" and the one of Rob, Laura and Ritchie on the turtle's back in "Turtles, Ties and Toreadors."

What was Mary Tyler Moore's first husband's name?

Dick Meeker. Her maiden name on TDVDS in episide #6 was Meeker. After she and her husband got divorced, it was changed to Meehan.

What was the name of Sally's high school in Where You Been, Fassbinder?

I believe that was Herbert Hoover High..

Ok a two parter

Jellybean. What was the name of the song that Laura danced to in the living room in "To Tell or Not to Tell" and that Rob and Graciella danced to in "Who and Where was Antonio Stradavarius?" It is played on another episode as the music on a TV show that Rob and Laura are watching but the name of the episode escapes me right now. You should be able to get it from the other clues.

It's Robbie Bobby Boo. Who was "The Hustler?"

Lolac
:wave:

"The Hustler" = Blackie Sorrell (or, if you prefer: "Fast Eddie Felson" in 1961's major motion picture of the same name). :)

Blackie & Rob play billiards on a pool table that cannot possibly even BE THERE, because there's a huge rock down there prohibiting such an item from fitting properly into the basement area. (NitPick #109.) :)

NitPick #110 (same episode): Rob tells Blackie that it was Laura who purchased this pool table for Rob ("To keep me off the streets").

OK, kids, I ask you (logically) -- Could Laura (who has no job and gets just a small allowance from Robert each week it would seem via the episode "Bank Book 6565696", in which it's revealed it has taken her quite some time to accumulate the robust sum of just $378.16 to buy Rob the "JFK400 Roadster" automobile that Rob has been "drooling over") POSSIBLY have afforded, on her own, the purchase of a pool table for her hubby? A table that, even circa 1962-1963, would have cost approximately $750-$800 (at least).

Perry, next witness. :)

27. "Maybe 28, I don't know, there was one possible in there."
:lol:

Lolac

PS, David, you crack me up with that Perry Mason stuff!

I try, Lolac, I try. :)

Laura must have been walking the streets at night in high heels attracting "clients" if she could afford the billiard table AND $378 in savings for the Roadster car. :lol:

Lolac is correct (above): By saying either 27 or 28 hairs. But "28" is said multiple times in the show.

Sally -- "Ah, 28 is nothing."
Maurice -- "What do mean nothing -- on HIM (Mel), it'd be a forest!" :)


Next Up --------- In the episodic adventure called "Very Old Shoes, Very Old Rice", Rob & Laura's wedding "witnesses" are played very nicely by Burt Mustin & Madge Blake (aka: "Mrs. Mondello" of "Leave It To Beaver"; Mustin, too, was a LITB alumni). These two old folks had witnessed many a wedding -- What number "witnessing" was Rob & Laura's ceremony for this old couple?

Now that's deep, David. I had to look it up, but it's #815. Incidentally, I first remember Madge Blake form Batman. She was Bruce Wayne's Aunt Harriet.

What 4 of Laura's suitors do we know about from the series? Rob is not included.

Steve

Good job, Sawgrass. #815 is correct. And if Burt Mustin (who is suffering from "cholesterol") had retired a year earlier, they'd have made it way over the thousand mark by now! :)

The shaving lotion is called Stirrups and Saddles and is $4.00 per bottle. (What puzzles me is if Rob and Laura have a bathroom in their bedroom WHY then, is Rob's shaving lotion not in that bathroom?)

Question: Who was the host of the late night talk show Sally appeared on in "The Pen is Mightier Than the Mouth?"

Stevie Parsons

What color was Ritchie's stone in the brooch that Laura was given by Rob's parents in The Curse of the Petrie People?

Excellent question! That's a great "NitPick"! I'm now thoroughly ashamed that I didn't think of that inconsistency. :(

I guess we're now to assume Rob gets up in the morning, brushes his teeth and takes his morning whiz in their own master bathroom -- THEN switches to Ritchie's bathroom to shave and put on cologne. LOL. :)

Originally posted by Carrie

It was blue. Oddly, Rob's Dad described it as a "Blue Diamond." Considering their rarity, the Petries were eitrher a very wealthy family (all the gems were "colored diamonds"), or he was misspeaking!

How many times did Rob kiss his wife's best friend and neighbor, Millie, in the series?

Ive ofter wondered this however...


If Rob & Laura are anything like our house, I usually take up all the space and time in the morning getting ready*makeup, hair, etc..) forcing my dear hubby to shave and whatever in the spare bathroom. Maybe our Laura was a bathroom hog forcing Rob to get ready in Richies bathroom thus explaining why his aftershave is not in the master bath:happyface

What was Buddy's Favorite Breakfast?

Liver & Bananas. :)

-------------

What type automobile do we see in the Petrie garage as Roger works on it in "The Lady And The Baby Sitter"? (From the date filmed, we know this car must have been BRAND-NEW.)

(This vehicle, btw, is at least the THIRD different car Rob has owned during the five-year run of the series. We see a different (larger) model in "My Husband Is A Check-Grabber"; plus, of course, his "dead bug" (aka: "Tarantula") in "Scratch My Car And Die". Not to mention "Laura's station wagon", which is referred to occasionally.)

Was it a Mustang?

Yes, Carrie (darn, you took my answer)!
and a convertable to boot. My favorite!
Your turn.

Steve

lol...sorry about that. ;)

How much money did Buddy "owe" Rob in Who Owes Who What?

Buddy owed Rob $26.00( Twenty five dollars plus one dollar for Marge's yogurt. However Buddy paid for Robs tweed jacket COD $49.97 which cancelled out the $25.00 :o

So, to answer your question Rob owed Buddy $23.97

Was it a Mustang?
Yes indeedy.
And a brand-new 1964-and-a-half model Ford Mustang to boot. No Mustangs even existed prior to Spring 1964; and, given the film date of the "Baby-Sitter" episode (August 18, 1964), we know it has to be a '64.5 model.

That car would be worth a boatload of cash today, I would surmise. :)

When reflecting back on this episode, I'm guessing that any Ford Motor Company executives watching that particular show (which aired on October 7, 1964) probably weren't too thrilled with seeing one of their company's brand-new Mustang "Pony Cars" up on blocks in Rob Petrie's garage and being worked on to repair a "stalling" malfunction. I wonder how they felt about their spanking new vehicle being shown in this negative light? :)

The Ford people were probably saying -- "Crap, why couldn't they have used a Plymouth in that scene?!" :) :)

Sally has a matched set of Mussolini's chianti glasses. Extra point: All Buddy has is his wife, Pickles, "but she's too odd to be true!"

Which is the only episode to show Rob and Laura bowing their heads in prayer together (a very tender moment, for me)? Extra point: Which characters are they praying with?

It was in the episode Buddy Sorrell - Man and Boy during his Bar Mitzvah. I'm just guessing on this part, but were they praying with Sally and Mel?

I felt bad for Lincoln too. He deserved to win. He embarrased Rob at that Press conference at the high school.

Oh and speaking of this episode, Did anyone ever wonder why Rob had all those people working in his campaign, press manager, publicity manager etc.. Lincoln had no one and Rob only won by about 69 votes if I remember correctly. Rob must have been a Republican :lol: Yet, the night of the election, They got the results from the plain old radio. I didnt mean to stray.

Was the number New Rochelle 637-9970?
Close, but no ceee-gar. :)

It was 636-9970 (aka: NEwrochelle 6-9970). :)

Interestingly, this very same number is given by Rob as the number for the editor of "Home & House Magazine" in the episode "Ray Murdock's X-Ray". So, that's yet another "goof"/"flub" with regard to continuity. :)

Lyle got $51.00 in that little heist. Of which $40.00 was Millie's money given to Laura to buy Jerry's birthday present. I'll take my bath spout now.
I'll have to forfeit the burial plots, since I haven't the slightest idea who Hilliard Decker is.

When the Petries decided to have Richies birthday party at home to save money, why did they have it indoors instead of outside in the back yard?

I'm going to take a stab at the Hilliard Decker question: Isn't he the 75 year old man who saws the pipe to liberate Laura's toe?

The Petries had Ritchie's birthday party indoors because the gardner came that morning and fertilized the lawn with manure.

"a friend of whom?" to which he replies, "a friend of

I hope you finally got some sleep! The Helper's Minah Bird's name is Herschel. "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!"

My question: Speaking of the Helpers, do we ever see them kiss?

Steve

Yes, when Millie thought Jerry was Rock Hudson

BTW ever notice how ofter Rock Hudsons name is used in reference.

Do you think that was on purpose:D

Yes,
I do think it was on perpose. Rock and Marilyn were the top heart-throbs and box office draws of that era, so we hear their names frequently. Who get's plenty of referrences nowadays? 40 years from now, people will notice how frequently we mentioned Tom Cruise and Halle Berry.
By the way, Jerry should be a little unsettled that Millie only kisses him when she thinks he's Rock Hudson!

Steve

I'll go ahead and post another question.
What are Rob's and Laura's stats?
Height
Weight
Hair
Eyes
Age
Suit
Dress
Shoes
I'm not sure about these myself, but a dozen heads are better than one. Anybody?

Steve

Rob is about 6' 1", and I am guessing that the character when the show started, was late 20s.

From a season five episode, Laura mentioned that they had been married for nine years, which would make her 26. This does not make sense, however, because Ritchie was 9, almost 10 at this point in the fifth season, and just from the flashbacks, I gather that they had been married a few years before having Ritchie.

This thread has been dead for a few days now, so I hope no one minds if I post a new question.

The answer to your question is Margaret - not Lilian :lol: !

Combine the antics of two episodes to answer this next question:
Why did the Petries never have a family pet? And no, the talking goldfish don't count ;) .

Steve

They never had any family pets because Rob was allergic to both cats and dogs. I'm assuming that you were referring to the episodes The Ugliest Dog in the World and Gesundheit, Darling. ;)

Nope, they weren't really pets. Well, OK. Sort of. See, Oliver and Stanley were a couple of obligations the Petries found themselves stuck with, like Horrible was. Being nice people, they were always looking for a nice home for them ASAP, especially since Rob couldn't get fresh duck eggs for breakfast from neither one .:lol:

We stayed just north of Corolla. We stayed in a rented house on North Swan Beach and you had to have 4 wheel drive to get there. We were 6.9 miles up the beach from the Corolla light house. Happily, the house had a satellite dish so I was able to watch TDVDS on TV Land most days. It's good to be back!!

The stone started out in Seattle and ended up in Denver.

During the filming of what episode was Mary Tyler Moore trying to quit smoking? This was also the only episode during the entire series that any of the cast members stormed off the set. She later apologized by buying Carl Reiner what kind of present?

What is Rob's hobby? It's mentioned on the show, and he enjoys it very much, though we never see him actually do it.

The only thing I can think of is his love of golf. He has several golf outings over the years, and we know he loves it.

I was going to say "My Mother Can Beat Up My Father," but I think she tried to be supportive in that one. She did say, "After all, you did try to defend me. It was never a question of bravery." And when Rob started feeling emasculated, she did try to bolster him up.

My husband has often wondered out loud why he spends so much money (for my martial arts training) so I can learn to beat him up! Oh, Rob!

They are briefly in bed together in "Ghost of A. Chantz," when all four of them are in the sofa bed together with their clothes on. That's the only one I can think of, Steve. Just as a bonus to my last question, the name Lebost is used in at least 3 episodes. Where did the name come from?

I want to say 3. There was the car they were driving in "My Husband is a Check Grabber, " which, I believe, is also the car Roger and Rob were working on in "The Lady and the Babysitter." They refer often to Laura's station wagon. And of course there was the Tarantula in "Scratch My Car and Die." In addition, Rob did buy that motorcycle, but that doesn't really count as a car. Am I close, Steve?

I'll bite on this one. The medicine cabinet in Rob and Laura's bathroom is full...the shaving lotion is in the second bathroom until Laura can re arrange the master bedroom cabinet.

So there. :D

Also, re: how did Laura buy Rob the pool table? My sister and brother-in-law are practically Petrie clones. They've been married thirty-five years, his name is Rob and she's pretty much like Laura! I'll tell you how Laura does it! the same way my sister does...she uses her husband's checkbook then says it's a gift from "her."

Originally posted by algebra74
Rob is about 6' 1", and I am guessing that the character when the show started, was late 20s.

From a season five episode, Laura mentioned that they had been married for nine years, which would make her 26. This does not make sense, however, because Ritchie was 9, almost 10 at this point in the fifth season, and just from the flashbacks, I gather that they had been married a few years before having Ritchie.

Doesn't Rob mention in "Give me your walls" that he's 33? It's been a while since I've seen that one so I'm not positive (that is my least favorite).

Sally sang 84 choruses of "All of Me"

That's right! I didn't know it was named after his wife; that's cute. :loveya:

I've always felt kinda sorry for her, with all of the talk about how good DVD and MTM were together and how people really thought they were married. I read somewhere that DVD forgot their anniversary one time because he was rehearsing late with MTM. :(

I digress. you're turn! ;)

Lenny Weinrib guests in 3 episodes. In which episodes did he appear and what were the names of the characters he played?

Len Weinrib guested as almost the same character in "Buddy, Can You Spare A Job?" as comic Jackie Brewster, and in "The Sam Pomerantz Scandals" as comic Danny Brewster. He also appears in "The Impractical Joke" as unreformable practical joker Phil Franklin, who gets Rob and then gets Buddy because Buddy is so nervous about being gotten by Rob that he falls victim to Phil.

In "The Sam Pomerantz Scandals", why, specifically, is Danny unavailable to do the nightclub act?

Excellent, Mary Anne! You get the ruby stickpin! Danny is unavailable because Rob did "an overhead smash to Danny's mouth" with a tennis racquet and knocked the caps off of his front teeth.

Lolac :lol:

Yupper!

Your turn!

I have sat here for an hour, having just discovered this place, and read this whole thread. What a hoot!

Welcome to the board, Mary Anne!

Hello, Mary Anne! Welcome, welcome, welcome! Just one question...do you still have your thumbs? If so, come on in!

Welcome Mary Anne! We're glad to have you here with us. :)

What appears to be Rob's exercise of choice?

Steve

Push-ups seem to be his favorite. I betcha $2.00 he can do 20 in a row!

Excellent, Carrie. I won't take that bet though, I think I hear Mel coming!

To keep the ball rolling, When Sadie Stein told Millie what she thought about Laura's hair, what was it that she said?

She thought it was a wig!

What are Alan Brady's kids' names?

Lolac
:wave:

She thought it was a wig!
Lolac
Correct Lolac,
Incidentally, that line came directly out of the pop culture of the day. By this time the show was an established hit series, and one of the several rumors about the show that began to spread around the country was that the reason MTM's hair looked so perfect week after week was because it wasn't really her hair at all, it was a wig! This line was probably the cast's way of poking fun at their themselves. It's probably also the reason why Mary changed her style from that now famous (and awesomely cute) flip to a slightly different look in the next season.

Lolac

Lolac,
It's been a week. Got a hint?

Steve

Lolac,

Steve


You mean I actually got a stumper?! :dance: Here is a hint. The answer is found in a season 1 episode and Jerry Helper's running line is "Just kidding!"

Lolac
(aw, that's too easy! :lol: )

Oh yeah, now I remember :crazy: The ep was Punch thy Neighbor

The trailer for the Alan Brady Show " This was a BenLouGregRayPolly Production"

I believe that Lou and Greg are the kids but I am doing this from memory.

I know that Polly was his Parrot :lol:

Right episode, right circumstance, not quite the right names. Anyone else want to take a shot at it?
Lolac
;)

Steve
Lolac,
This was an excellent question!
The kind a real fan of the show likes as a challenge. And Dorothys BestPal, you were close, so your memory must be formidable.
I admit it, I peeked! The tag line was, "The alan Brady Show is a Jeff, Greg, Barb, Lou, Ben, Ray, Polly Production."
As Rob explains it, "Well, Jeff & Greg are the kids, Barb is his wife, Ben is his lawyer, Ray is his brother, and Lou is his manager." Jerry asked, "Who's Polly?" Rob said, "That's his bird."

Laura is an absolute stunner in that dress :eyes: !

Steve, you got it right! And you are right about Laura. I have really been paying attention to the clothes as I've been watching lately, and I do love that dress!

Her name was Maria, she was from Barcelona, Spain and her fiance's name was Manuel.

Lolac
:cool:

Who was the actor who played Manuel and what is his career now?

Lolac
:p

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?
