Brady Bunch Trivia
There are lots of Brady Bunch trivia tests out there, so I chose this one rather arbitrary, other than the level of difficulty was described as moderate and the questions general in nature.
Out of 25 my score was a 15. I guess I didn't know the show as well as I thought.
We're all on the honor system here, so no searching.
But I only knew 10 for certain. The others were calculated guesses, or I was semi-sure.
Questions Answered correctly were:
1,4,5,6,8,11,12,13,15,16,18,20,21,23,24
show and I was in my 20's. Oh well.
Quote: MakingBook15 of 25 correct. That was hard.
A draw then between us. Seems a fitting end.
Some of those questions are obscure, if you get them all right you watched the show way, way too much.

I was originally going to go with this quiz, but it was way too hard. For example, what was the real name of Mike's high school girlfriend? Somehow I did know the one about Davy Jones' record label -- don't ask me how.
Quote: WizardA draw then between us. Seems a fitting end.
Full disclosure- I took the quiz with my wife. I was responsible for 14 of 25 correct.
There was one question that I had no clue- I asked for my wife's guess and she
was correct. My guess would have had a 25% chance, so put me down for 14.25?
I also got 6/10 correct on the tougher one. I also should mention I have the entire series on DVD and finished watching it a couple months ago.
Quote: NicksGamingStuffI got 21,
Wow! Impressive!
single ep. I took the quiz and got 14 right just using
logic. I know how the networks thought during that
period what made a good storyline. I'm actually really
proud of myself. Where's the tougher quiz, I want to
do that one too. I even wrote in the name of the correct
outlaw, I remember he was popular in the 60's and 70's.
Quote: tsmithI was 9 for 25 on the 1st quiz and exited the 2nd quiz after the 3rd question because I knew I was way out of my league with that one.
You have to use logic for most of these. What makes
sense. Like the alcohol question. I answered yes, because
as I recall, a family show in the 70's didn't drink, so why
ask the question.
Somehow I knew who Alice was, though, and that really helped. I knew her from just watching show promos I guess.
I got 12/25.
I would protest about #15 if it was for real money [even though I had to guess]. What kind of %$#@ is that?
Give me a Seinfeld or Friends quiz.
Then again, I'm a female born in the mid 60's, so this is my wheelhouse.
Quote: FarFromVegasI'm scared--I missed three. Some guessing involved, but 22 out of 25.

I wouldn't think that any of the actors from the show would get 22!!!! I watched it occassionally, and got a whopping 11 of 25. I knew probably 5, and was hoping for better variance on the others.....

Your logic is better than mine!
I got 13, and I've seen maybe less than five episodes, lifetime. I did get 3 that most people missed. I got the broken nose one right because I knew that happened to Marcia, and assumed they would say the wrong person did it as a cheap drink. I remembered seeing a pay phone in one of the few episodes I watched, so that was easy. Time for the tough one.

I didn't really even look to see what I got right and wrong. It was Jesse James though, wasn't it? I mean, who else could it be?

Yup. That was like a 72%er. Most got that.

Wow... I would not want to go head to head with you on "Flipper" trivia.
I got 16, and missed two I would have gotten if I had been more patient and less distracted. I am considering lodging a protest with the Commisioner on #1 though, since it was clearly a misdirect.
Quote: odiousgambitlike Face and Bob, I'm too old for this show.
31 is the new 62! Can't wait to spend those social security checks on video games =D
When BB went on the air, my dad was 13. It canceled 6 years before I was born =)
No offense taken, I'm often told I act/sound old. Product of being raised in large part by a man born in '33.

You'd win hands down! I vaguely remember watching that.
Like the Wizard, I went through a "Kotter" phase in high school. The 70's were great for mindless TV, but there were some really watchable shows.
Quote: AyecarumbaIs "Alice" still with us, or has she passed on to "Housekeeper Heaven"?
I'm pretty sure she is still alive. The only cast member we've lost is Mr. Brady, Robert Reed, who died in the 90s.
A bit off topic, but fans of the both the Brady Bunch and the Big Bang Theory might be interested to know the actress who plays Penny on the BBT played Marcia in the "made for TV" movie "Growing up Brady."

Ann B Davis is 87. When Robert Reed died, there were
all those rumors that he had AIDS. Although he was Gay,
and had the HIV virus, he didn't have AIDS.

What of "Oliver"? I assumed things would not go well for him in his teens/twenties... "cute" child actors rarely turn out to be good citizens.

I saw him (Robbie Rist) on one of those VH-1 I Love the 70's type shows. He is proud to be the one to kill off the series!
I doubt he worked much since then, though.

I saw promos for the TV series but never watched it. I couldn't name any of the actors, but if you provide the name, I can certainly look them up on IMDb. Robbie Rist has 88 acting titles listed from 1972 through 2013 (one filming and one announced). Looks as if he has had quite a bit of voice work for cartoons and video games. I have no idea what that kind of stuff pays, but it doesn't really look as if he has been out of work much.

Wow-I checked it out and I've seen a bunch of stuff he's done and didn't know it was him. But "Additional voices" doesn't indicate a starring role, so I wouldn't have noticed him on the credits.
I see he played three different guest characters on CHiPs, so things went like that for him since the early 80's.

When most of the cast was on The Weakest Link, Robbie Rist was the first to be voted off. The rest of the cast joked it was their revenge for him jinxing the show.

I have no way of proving it, but I would bet that Tiger is no longer with us. Doesn't he qualify as a cast member? I'm pretty sure I recall he even had a few speaking roles! Woof - Woof

He died between the first and second seasons. I think he was run over by a car. The dog in the episode where they thought Jan was allergic to him was not Tiger but a look alike. After that episode, he vanished without mention, because the look alike was not well trained.

I am very impressed you found that info. If, OTOH, you already knew all that, I am completely in awe.

I think it was covered in the TV movie Growing Up Brady. Note that a young Kaly Cuoco (Penny from the Big Bang Theory) plays Marcia.
Yours fell out of Kaley's name ;-)
I was a fan of hers in 8 simple rules, and she has a great role in Big Bang. Smokin hottie

Quote: AyecarumbaI was sad to learn that the actor who played, Alice the housekeeper's on-again off-again romantic partner "Sam", passed away in 2008. Without looking it up:

Easy: Butcher
Very Hard: Franklin
Harder Than Very Hard: Allan John Melvin (Born Feb. 18, 1923, Died Jan. 17, 2008)
Did you know? He was also the voice of "Drooper" (the lion) on the "Banana Splits" kids show.
Quote: tsmithWasn't he also one of the motor pool guys on Sgt. Bilko?
I believe so. He was a regular on many television shows, both as the "old army buddy", and as a voice on many cartoons (like the Flintsones).
