Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information

    Mixture: Networks

    "Designing Women": One of the more touching episodes came in 1987 when a friend of the Sugarbaker ladies announced he was dying of AIDS. In reflecting on their friendship with him, one of them mentioned a favor Kendall Dobbs (the fellow who was ill) had done for her. What did Mary Jo say he had helped her with?The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      Cleaning out her garage. Kendall, played by Tony Goldwyn (remember him as the bad guy in the film "Ghost"?), helped Mary Jo clean out her garage shortly before he gave them all the bad news. This is the episode where Mary Jo was nicknamed "The Condom Queen" in her efforts to promote condom usage among teenagers who may or may not have yet become sexually active.

    "Mad About You": Jamie and Paul eventually became Mr. and Mrs. Buckman, but they had to have met somewhere. Did that initial meeting happen when Ursulla, the ditzy waitress, accidentally seated them at the same table?The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      No. They actually met at a newsstand, each going for the same issue of a newspaper. Sparks flew and Paul got the paper in the end but he eventually wooed her and won her. This was a smartly written show, winning Helen Hunt multiple Emmy Awards (but poor Paul Reiser never got one).

    "The Nanny": On the final episode of the show, Fran was now married and leaving New York for California as an official member of the Sheffield family.The mansion was packed but, just before she left it for the last time, what did Fran gather up to take with her before the movers came?The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      Yetta. Fran left once and then came back. It seemed she had forgotten something. It was Yetta, who had somehow gotten lost in the closet. She DID pick up the make-up samples, too, but her grandmother happened soon after.

    "Suddenly Susan": Running until the year 2000, this show was supposed to launch Brooke Shields's leading-lady-on-a-sitcom status. It did that but, as often happens, one of the supporting players became a huge popular success, too. He was David Strickland, playing the eccentric young Todd Stites. The show was set in San Francisco and had much opportunity to explore the colorfulness of the citizens there. Todd's parents were certainly that! Tom Smothers played his father but who played Todd's mother?The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      Susan Ruttan. Todd's parents were still "hippies" who found themselves in a surprising state of pregnancy. They wanted to deliver underwater and enlisted Todd's assistance (not realizing that he had a dreadful phobia about water). Ruttan played his mother and Kurtz played Susan's mother. Sadly David Strickland hanged himself in 1999, a victim of his own internal demons. That event basically ended the show.

    "LaVerne And Shirley": A "newbie" to Lifetime, this show was hugely popular in its day. Gary Marshall, the producer, seemed to have had his finger on the pulse of America at the time ("Happy Days", "Mork And Mindy" and "LaVerne And Shirley", among others). Of the 4 main characters in the show, which of them in mid 2004, is in real life married to one of the players that were in the TV mini-series "Stephen King's 'It'"? I'll give you their real name later.The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      Lenny. Lenny, portrayed by Michael McKean, is married to Annette O'Toole. She was the only girl in that pack of now-grown children taking on that monstrous clown in "It" (and was an ace with a slingshot in it). McKean went on to fine effect in "This Is Spinal Tap", etc. Penny Marshall has, of course, moved forward into an impressive directing career. Cindy Williams and David L. Lander are still busy, but a little more lower profile.

    "Golden Girls": How many time were the rascally four ladies all dressed up for their weddings (visibly), whether they happened or not?The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      4. Dorothy (Bea Arthur) wins the prize as the most here. Once when she was going to remarry Stan and then when she finally did get married at the end of her run. Blanche was all ready to go on Episode #1 and even Sophia was in a gown when she married an old friend. Rose never got that close.

    Which well known actress said that she keeps the Lifetime network "in business"?The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      Patty Duke. While all could reasonably claim such a statement it was former Oscar winning Duke who got there first to say so. It really does seem that Patty Duke is in over 50% of the movies they show on there. In my defense, I don't watch those, though.

    "Designing Women": There was an episode once once where Julia Sugarbaker (always the outspoken one) was told to do something which flipped her over the edge when a photographer was at her shop filming what he thought was a "Women of Atlanta" photo montage. What did he ask Julia to do that completely rattled her nerves?The "Lifetime Channel" Quiz

      suck pearls. Julia had no business with that and kicked him out pronto. The final, and more appropriate, photo spread was about the REAL "women" who lived in the south. I hope this was some fun for you Lifetime viewers.

    What season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" did the spin-off show of "Angel" start?WB or CW Shows Misc

      4. Angel left Sunnydale in season three after the big graduation day fight. The next season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", season 4, started the first season of "Angel".

    Who was the first to find out that Buffy Summers is a vampire slayer?WB or CW Shows Misc

      Xander. After being saved by Buffy during the episode "Harvest" it was becoming obvious that she wasn't an ordinary girl. Giles eventually tells Xander and Willow, confirming their suspicions and starting the Scooby Gang.

    How many Halliwell sisters were on "Charmed"?WB or CW Shows Misc

      4. The sisters are as follows: Pru, Piper, Phoebe and Paige. Paige was the daughter of Patty and her white lighter Sam. Paige came into the picture after the untimely demise of sister Pru.

    Which artist is the theme song to "Smallville" performed by?WB or CW Shows Misc

      Remy Zero. The theme song is called "Save Me". It is a perfect song for a super hero series, especially when you listen to the entire song. The song can be found on their 2001 album, "The Golden Hum".

    Dean and Sam are the brothers from "Supernatural" but both have made appearances on other WB/CW shows. Sam (Jared Padalecki) was a staple on "Gilmore Girls" as whom?WB or CW Shows Misc

      Dean. Dean is Rory's boyfriend for quite a long time, until Jess comes into town. Dean and Rory ended up hooking up later in the series while Dean was still married. After sleeping with him twice, she finally comes to her senses and it leaves her open to a new relationship with Logan later on.

    Regarding the brothers of "Supernatural": Dean (Jensen Ackles) previously played a boyfriend on what super series?WB or CW Shows Misc

      "Smallville". He met Lana in Paris and they dated for quite a while. Just an extra juicy tidbit Jensen Ackles also played Sammi's twin brother Eric Brady on "Days of Our Lives".

    What are the names of the trio that help put demons back in hell on the show "Reaper"?WB or CW Shows Misc

      Sam, Bert, Ben. Bert is Sock's real name. Sam is the actual main character of the show, it was his parents who sold his soul to the devil before he was born. Ted is the store manager where Sam works and Andie is the girl that Sam likes.

    What revelation are we led to believe at the end of season 1 of "Reaper"?WB or CW Shows Misc

      Sam is the Devil's son.. The demons next door figure it out after looking over Sam's contract and find that every piece of information regarding who Sam's dad is had been removed. Previously it was shown that Sam's dad removed several pages of the contract, we as viewers did not know what those pages were until the last episode of season 1.

    Who played the part of Mary Camden on the show "7th Heaven"?WB or CW Shows Misc

      Jessica Biel. She played a goody two shoes for a long time before leaving the show, apparently in time not to be type cast! She kicked off her goody two shoes with a part as a super hot vampire slayer in the movie "Blade Trinity".
