Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which impoverished Pa went from being a mountaineer to a millionaire when he shot himself to wealth?

Answer: Jed Clampett

"Well Doggie"! Veteran actor Buddy Ebsen portrayed the bighearted Jed Clampett. The hick hillbilly moved his kin from the hills to a posh mansion in the sophisticated city of Beverly Hills. His common sense, mountain wisdom, and family loyalty, helped the Clampett clan to endure the modification of their new lifestyle. After the death of his wife Rose Ellen, Jed, with the help of his mother-in-law "Granny" (Irene Ryan), reared his only child, Elly May (Donna Douglas). She exploited the ravenous beauty of a girl, but possessed the manners of a tomboy. She could out run, out spit, out whistle, and out wrestle any opposing male! Jethro (Max Baer), the son of Jed's cousin was the chauffeur of their junky jalopy while on their ride to the west coast.

"The Beverly Hillbillies" (1962-71) was one of the most successful comedies in the history of American television.
2. Who is the contemporary, African-American dad that regulated his discipline in a distinctive but amusing up bringing?

Answer: Michael Kyle

Michael Kyle (Damon Wayans) who played on the sitcom, "My Wife and Kids (2001-05), characterized an affectionate but respectable fatherly position to his three children, Michael Jr. (George O. Gore II), Claire (Jazz Raycole/Jennifer Freeman), and Kady (Parker McKenna Posey).

They lived in the outer edge of Stamford, Connecticut where the household learned much of life's lessons from their wise and humorous, patriarch leader.
3. Mark called this western cowboy, Pa. Who was this rifle-toting tough guy?

Answer: Lucas McCain

"The Rifleman" (1958-63), opened its show each week with Lucas McCain (Chuck Connors) walking down a dusty street with his Winchester rifle. He and his son Mark (Johnny Crawford) lived on a homestead in the New Mexico territory, where Mark was exposed to a great deal of outlaw injustice. McCain, a former Union veteran, trained his son with the survival skills needed in which to stay alive in the old west.
4. Which air flight pilot was assisted by his sister in raising his three sons?

Answer: Michael Hogan

Six months after the loss of his wife, Michael's divorced sister Sandy (Sandy Duncan) moved in to help the boys overcome the grief of their mother. Since Michael was employed for a commercial airline, he was away from home a lot. His sister's maternal love was just what the children needed. The kids included David (Jason Bateman), Mark (Jeremy Licht), and Willie (Danny Ponce).

Josh Taylor starred as Michael in the prime-time series, "The Hogan Family" (1986-91). The sitcom was originally titled, "Valerie", which starred, Valerie Harper.
5. This Marine major became the step-dad to three daughters. What was the name of the die-hard soldier?

Answer: John D. McGillis

Gerald McRaney starred as Major John D. "Mac" McGillis in, "Major Dad" (1989-93). After marrying his wife Polly (Shanna Reed), he took on the most significant position of his life, a step-dad. The riotous and spontaneous girls were Robin (Nicole Dubuc), Casey (Chelsea Hertford), and Elizabeth Cooper (Marisa Ryan). Although the combo cohorts appeared to be mismatched in their behavioral views, all members were compatible when it came to being a family unit as a whole.
6. Which animated father was "one of three top scientist in the world" who brought his sons along on his many expeditions?

Answer: Dr. Benton C. Quest

With the incredible scientific and technical knowledge that Dr. Benton Quest contained, his journeys took him on innumerable missions around the earth's globe. He was always accompanied by his eleven-year-old sons, Jonny (Tim Matheson), and adopted Hindu son, Hadji (Danny Bravo). Bandit, their pet bulldog was always along for the ride too. Race Bannon (Mike Road) was a hired bodyguard whose primary duties were to keep the boys from harm. When the Quest team was not out on one of their mystery adventures, they made themselves at home at their compound in the Florida Keys.

Don Messick provided the voice for Dr. Quest and Bandit in the science fiction, Saturday morning cartoon series, "Jonny Quest" (1964-65). The first original comic book of the series was published in 1964 by Gold Key Comics.
7. "Whoa!" After being ditched by his wife, which of these dads was a touring musician with three children?

Answer: Nick Russo

Nick Russo, portrayed by Ted Wass, was left home alone to raise his three children, Anthony (Michael Stoyanov), Blossom (Mayim Bialik), and Joey (Joey Lawrence). Their mother left them to chase her own dreams. The family was distraught and had a difficult time adjusting to the circumstances. Nick was remarkable at his task as a single parent, despite most of his parental guidance was in between musical gigs. Blossom was more capable to mend her marred emotions through her friend Six (Jenna von Oÿ), who was probably the fastest talker west of the Mississippi!

The comedy-drama series, "Blossom" ran on NBC network from 1991 to 1995.
It was in this show that Joey Lawrence popularized the one-word catch phrase of the surprised expression, "Whoa". However, this is not to be confused with Fonzi on "Happy Days" (1974-84), in which his calm-mannered wordings were not only "whoa", but also, "aye", or "oh yeah".
8. Which dad adopted two boys from Harlem and took them to Manhattan to live?

Answer: Philip Drummond

The wealthy, Caucasian widower, Philip Drummond (Conrad Bain), respected the deathbed wish of his long-time maid and assumed the responsibility of her two, young African-American sons. Willis (Todd Bridges), and Arnold (Gary Coleman) Jackson were welcomed into the Park Avenue home with their new, thirteen-year old stepsister Kimberly (Dana Plato). Philip was very caring with "quality time" being supreme on his list for the newly, created family. Arnold, the youngest, and shorter in stature accepted his new surroundings right away, however, Willis was tougher to accommodate with his street-tough attitude. Philip began dating and later wed Maggie McKinney (Dixie Carter/Mary Ann Mobley). The second union produced an additional child named Danny (Danny Cooksey), the son of Maggie.

The adorable, comedy sitcom, "Different Strokes" aired from 1978 to 1986.
On the series, Arnold formed the famous catch phrase, "What' choo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" or to various other family members, depending to whom he directed his conservations.
9. Who was the dad whose pre-teen twin daughters were always in the matchmaking mode?

Answer: Kevin Burke

Kevin Burke (Christopher Siever) was a single, college professor and father to conniving twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Burke. Although their appearances were identical, their personalities were just the opposite. Mary-Kate was a tomboy with interests in athletics while Ashley was the intellectual who desired a future career in modeling. Kevin placed a classified in the local newspaper for a part-time nanny position in which his student Carrie (Sally Wheeler) applied. The twins felt that she was the perfect woman for the job and their dad as well. The two combined forces and plotted an assortment of plans in hopes they would unite the duo.

The famed Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, portrayed the roles in the comedy sitcom, "Two of a Kind" (1998-99).
10. Which daddy was confronted with unnecessary, every day problems from his malicious ex-wife, Karen?

Answer: Rick Sammler

In the series, "Once and Again" (1999-2002), Billy Campbell was characterized as Rick Sammler, a divorced architect from Deerfield, Illinois. His kids were Jessie (Evan Rachel Wood), and Eli (Shane West). Rick met and began a romance with the recently separated, middle-aged woman, Lilly Manning (Sela Ward). She had two children of her own, Grace (Julia Whelan) and Zoe (Meredith Deane). The couple, who enjoyed comfort and companionship with one another, soon was compounded with complex situations caused by their ex-spouses. The sitcom depicted the awareness of how harmful relationships can significantly affect the personal lives of children.
