Hey everybody! I got this idea for a game first from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" board, and then I saw it again on the "I Love Lucy" board. What you have to do is choose a word or phrase related to TDVDS in someway, and from that word's last letter the next person must come up with a word that starts with the last letter of the previous word.

For example...
Rob (the next word must start with B)

The next person could say: Buddy
...and so on.

That one was an easy example. I'll start the game off with the phrase...

The episode title: "Where Did I Come From?"

Hope everyone has fun with this! ;)

Starting with the letter "M":

Mel Cooley

Next up is "Y"...

"You're Under Arrest." (title of episode 139)
Next up is t .

Steve

"Twilo."

That's an "O" for ya'...

"Oh Rob!"

That counts, right?

The next person gets an 'A'!

A is for "Alan Brady." Y.


Lolac (this is fun!) :happyface

"Yuck!" puke: (Mel's usual reaction to Buddy.)

'K' is next...

How about, "Kent?" One of their sponsors (yuck again, that left a bad taste in my mouth)! "T" is next up!

Steve

Hi,

I'm new here; hope you don't mind my crashing your game :wave: , it looks like fun! DVD has always been (and probably always will be) my favorite TV show.

How about the way they broke into Alan Brady's secretary's office to retreive the insulting script, "Transom".

Next letter: "M"

Lolac

:happyface

"Z" is a tough one Lolac, but I'll give it a shot

I'm not 100% sure about this, so if it's incorrect you can disqualify my answer!

I think the thing Laura bought at the art auction was called a "Zoch" by the appraiser who came to the house to look at the Artanis.

So, "H" could be next!

Excellent, Larry!!! That was a tough one! H is for "Hang Lip Harry" from "Someone Has to Play Cleopatra." Y is next.


Lolac :wave:

for Valerie "Yerke" who played the reporter in "My Husband is the Best One." No more "Y"s, please!!

R is easy! R is for Ritchie! Or has Ritchie been used already? If we have used it, then R is still up I guess. Otherwise, E is up!

Kurt

E is for Edsall. In "Touch My Car and Die," Rob says that Jerry drives a 58 Edsall. Also in the episode where Rob witnesses the witnesses running from a bank robbery, they got away in a fire-engine red Edsall with bumper stickers that said "I Like Ike" and "Visit Carlsbad Caverns."

Yuckapuck

I don't think we've seen the letter "K" yet. I'll be interested to see what you DVD smart people come up with!

In "The Brave & The Backache" Rob said when he was a kid, he went to a camp on a lake. "Kikipadada." (How's that Larry?)
"A" is next.

Steve

A is for Anatole. That's what they call the waiter in "My Husband is a Check Grabber." E is up again.


Lolac

:wave:

Excellent "k" SawgrassSteve! I love that episode too. "Sissy...man... lake Sissy-man-nu-nu".


My E word is what Buddy wanted Rob and Laura to name their baby: "Exit". If he goes into showbusiness he'll have his name in every theater in the country!

"T" is next.

"Thirty-two," because it's a funnier number. From "The Curious Thing About Women."

"O."

O is for Oscar. That is what the O in Rosebud stands for. R is next.

Lolac

:triplets

Another one from the Rosebud episode: What Ritchie wanted for his future son's middle name - "Rat"

"T" is next. I have a great "T" word, but it wouldn't be right for me to reply to my own post! I'll just have to hope nobody uses my T before I get to!!

T is for Tarantula, the new car Rob bought in "Scratch My Car and Die." A is next.

Lolac :wave:

Antonio, as in "Antonio Stradivarius," the name Rob though was his when he got amnesia.
"O" is next.

Steve

O is for Olivia. Olivia was the name of the female duck that greeted Stanley when Rob put him in the pond. Also, Olivia was the pet ostrich Freddy White talked about in the act that Rob and Buddy wrote for him as an engagement present to his "mommy" (Sally.)

A is next.


Lolac

:ducky:

Darn it Lolac, you took my T word. And they say Twiloites have no imaginations!:p

"A" is for Laura's "Aunt Mildred" who came to their wedding all the way from O--HI--O.

'D" is up next.

Yay! I've been waiting to use this one... "D" is for "Dolce fare niente," Rob's line to Laura when he's pretending to be Italian over the phone.

"E" again.

Egomaniac (as in ep. # 153, "Obnoxious, Offensive, Egomaniac, Etc.")

'C' is next...

"C" is for Cleopatra, as in "Someone has got to play Cleopatra."

B&W "Darling, I let you play the part of Mark Anthony. Didn't you like it? - No! And I don't think Jerry enjoyed playing Cleopatra either" fan

A is for Amos, the name of the ghost in "Ghost of A. Chantz."

S in next.

Lolac

:p

Egomaniac was already used. It's getting harder! We're starting to repeat ourselves!

Lolac :bonk:

"Sticks Mandalay", the real co-writer of Bupkis.

Another Y next.

Oops! Sorry.
( :cuss: ! I should've scrolled through the pages first.)

Another Y next.

"You Wonderful You" (sung by Rob & Laura in ep. #6)

'U' is (are?) next... :lol:

U if for "Uhny Uftz." The flying saucer noise! Another Z is next!


Lolac

While Rob was in his hypnotic-drunken state in the office, he called Mel Dr "Zorba"

"a", anyone?

Since we seemed to have skipped this one because of the "egomaniac" mistake, I will use it again. A is for Amos, the name of the ghost in "Ghost of A. Chantz."

S is next.


Lolac

:cool:

Lolac
:cool:

It wasn't skipped. Larry Surrell answered it with "Sticks Mandalay". And, again, I'm sorry already! :wallbang
(Will I ever live this down?) :faint:

"S" is for "Sally is a Girl," because we haven't used many "L"s yet!!

Sorry, TVgen62, I wasn't trying to rub your nose in it , I just didn't want to waste a good A word! Anyway, L is for LOLAC! C is next!


Lolac :kiss:

C is for Calvada. Another A next!

"A" is for Antionio, as in... ha! just kidding! Ok, "A" is for Adamo, as in Frank, Dick's assistant.
"O" is next.

Steve

'O' is for ostrich (imitated by Sally's less-than-sincere boyfriend in "Jilting the Jilter").

'H' is next...

"How Dry I Am," the tune played by the peach schnapps bottle in Alan Brady's office. ("Obnoxious, Offensive, Egomaniac, etc.")

"M"

MOMMY, Freddy White's pet name for Sally in Jilting the Jilter. I have two unused 'Y' terms if no one else can come up w/ a new one next.

y is for "Yum-yums." Wasn't Bupkiss sung by the Yum-yums? Let me know if I am wrong on that one. S is next.

Lolac :wave:

Sorry Lolac, I think Bupkis was sung by the Dumb Dumbs. But speaking of Yum Yums, the "Y" could be for "Yum Yum Shrimp", which Alan Brady Enterprises owned and his accountant Doug Wesly sent a case of to Rob. I guess P would be next then, but if I'm wrong S is still next.

This game is getting convoluted (was that ever used in a DVD episode? If so, I can use it for the next "C" word :lol: )

Larry, you are absolutely right! I knew there was a yum-yum in there somewhere! Let's go with that P from Yum-Yum Shrimp!

Lolac


:lol:

"P" is for 44 tickets for the "PTA." (And I think I was wrong earlier about the peach schnapps, once I started thinking about it, I believe it was the apple brandy--I'll have to review!)

"A"

Albany, where Rob had trouble attending a wedding and watching a tv show at the same time. Y is next again, sorry. :p

Hey, I actually thought of another one... "You and Your Gall Bladder." ("I'm No Henry Walden")

"R."

How about Rocky Leon's, the name of the restaurant where Laura did the judo flip in "My Mother Can Beat Up My Father." (That was today's episode on TV Land, one of my favorites. I can't wait for my season 3 set!)

S is next.


Lolac :rockon:

I've been waiting for this chance. :) My native city, mentioned in "Big Max Calvada" as follows by Kenny Dexter....

"Ah, ah, Schenectady!"

We're back to Y again. :p

This is a bit of a stretch, but Danny Brewster's Cagney imitation at Sal Pomerantz's lodge; "You dirty rat" :eek:

T is next

'T' is for Toni (Gagliardi), Jerry & Millie's marriage counselor in "My Neighbor's Husband's Other Life".

'I' is next...

"I "is for 'Intercom," the catalyst for one of my very favorite episodes, "All About Evesdropping."

"M"

In line with this morning's TV Land rerun. "The Lady and the Babysitter", the babysitter was Roger MCCHESNEY. I keep getting us back to 'Y'. :p

Y is for yarn. In October Eve, Rob tricks Laura by saying Sally had fun with her in the yarn shop. N is next. (We're stretching here, folks!)


Lolac

:stooges:

"Nothing", the original title for Bupkis. A rare "G" is next.

Ghost, as in "Ghost Of A. Chantz." T is next.

Steve

T is for TEDDY, Ritchie's Teddy Bear, for whom Ritchie gave the last letter of his future son's middle name, RAT, in "What's in a Middle Name?". I pulled out my 2nd season DVD collection to check this one out, and, yes again :rolleyes: , I get us back to Y, but don't worry, I still have a couple unused Y's if everyone else is stumped. :)

"Young Man With a Shoehorn" episode 116. N is next. Again.


Lolac

"New York", the state (and city) where the show took place. Time for a K.

SawgrassSteve: Thanks for making your "Ghost of A Chantz" word the "T" and not make us try to think of another "Z"! :wave:

Originally posted by Larry Surrell

Kangaroo (from the vet's office in "Never Name a Duck")

'O' is next...

Where Laura's Aunt Mildred came all the way from to go to her wedding.... O-HIIII-OOOO....

....and we stay on O.

O is for olive, as in "Why didn't I get an olive? You'd think they'd give an old man an olive!" from "What's in a Middle Name?".


E is next.


Lolac

:triplets


I'm looking forward to season 3 so we can get some more ideas for this game!!!

While a guest at the Petrie house, Buddy tried making "Eggs Benedict" for Rob and Laura, and made a mess of the kitchen instead. :lol:

T is next.

"Turtles, Ties, and Toreadors"

'S' is next (any way you cut it)...

Buddy: "Watch this... SHOEHORN!"

Steve

("Paul Revere!" LOLOLOL)

S is next again!


Lolac

Ahhh, I've been waiting for an S. Thanks Lolac!

"Simpson", Rob's middle name. He was named after...Simpson :confused:

Another N next.

In scrolling back to find out if "Never Bathe on Saturday" has already been used (it has, by ME!), I discovered that Redcoats also had already been used by hank18. And that mistake was also made by ME! But Larry was so excited about his S. So in deference to Larry and his "S," I'm going with the N.

N is for novel. Rob is trying to write a novel in "Farewell to Writing."

L is next.

Lolac

:confused:

Ken LYNCH, who played the warden on "The Alan Brady Show Goes to Jail", which TV Land should be rerunning later this week. I don't think anyone's started one w/ "H" yet.

We've had couple H's. Here's another (one of my favorite Rob & Laura numbers)...
"Harmony" :dance: :dance:
:clap

'Y' is next...

The character played by Carl in "I'm No Henry Walden!" was named Yale .

And that's the end of my "Y"s!

"E"

E is for elephant for the elephant that blows bubbles in episode 138-"See Rob Write--Write, Rob, Write." The butcher's son did the illustrations for which Rob and Laura try to write a children's story.


T is next.


Lolac
:yippee:

Another word from the Henry Walden episode, the female author "Tom" who wrote "I'Love to Love to Love to Love."

M is next.

M is for Maxwell, Mel's cousin in "Empress Carlotta's Necklace." (Played hysterically by Gavin McLeod!) ("Maxwell, do come in. LOLOLOL)

L is next (again!)


Lolac



I thought "I Love to Love to Love" was a song sung by Jacques Savon mentioned in "The Square Triangle." Anyone?

"L" is for Liberty Bell, like the one on Rob's back.

I guess we're back where we started... "L."

In an attempt to get us the 'L' outta here...

Laundry marker (used by Rob in "Never Bathe on Saturday" to create a fake moustache)

Oh no, I'm sorry... "Y"!!

Episode 119- "Your Home Sweet Home Is My Home". E is next

Sorry, I cheated with that by looking at an episode guide, oh I'm so embarrassed :eek:

Lolac: "I love to love to love to love" was used as both a song title in the Jacques Savon episode and again as a book title in the Henry Waldon episode. Weird, huh?

I never noticed that before! I'll have to go back and watch!

EGGS. Buddy couldn't decide how he liked them, scrambled, poached, or fried, when he stayed with Rob and Laura.
S is next.

"Sam Denoff", one of the show's excellent writers. F is next.

Has this game jumped the shark yet?

"Fastbinder," as in Leo Fastbinder, a beau of Sally's (forgot which episode!)
