Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "After the Fall": How did Aunt Effie get hurt?

Answer: Fell off her roof

Aunt Effie fell off her roof and was mute until the last few minutes of the show. Vint and the others told Thelma she should take Effie back to the hospital since she wasn't getting any better. Meanwhile Vint, Naomi, Bubba and Iola were in the midst of putting together a 2,000 piece puzzle of two Civil War-era ships.

While Thelma was arguing with them about Effie, Effie found the missing 2,000th piece and finally spoke.
2. "An Ill Wind": Who made the rum balls?

Answer: Effie

A storm was brewing in Raytown on Thanksgiving despite Thelma's words that: "It never rains in Raytown. The sun always shine." Vint made it home with Effie with a tin of her rum balls. When a tree branch broke through the dining room window, the family high tailed to the basement. Effie brought her rum balls with her which they used as poker chips. Iola said, "My these kick right in. What's your secret ingredient?" Effie responded, "Booze."
3. "Best Medicine": Who missed Aunt Fran's funeral?

Answer: All

4. "Birthright": Who thought he/she was adopted?

Answer: Vint

Vint received a letter in the mail written by a woman addressing herself as his true mother in which she said to call her "mommy". She had hoped she would find a wealthy many with his own house. Instead she found out that Thelma owned the house and he rented the basement and was late with the rent.

6. "Cat's Meow": What was the name of Iola's cat?

Answer: Midnight

Midnight was a terrible cat. Hissing, clawing, scratching at everyone - even Iola. When he died, Iola had him freeze dried and a built in "meow" when you stroked him and it made Thelma scream in terror.
7. "Desperately Seeking Anyone": Who planned out Iola's date?

Answer: Thelma and Naomi

Knowing she needed someone and seeing how Thelma had a husband and children, Vint's married and Bubba is so outgoing. Mrs. Boylen didn't like the idea of Iola going on a date and grounded her. It didn't matter because Iola was so scared she hid behind curtains most of the time.

Answer: Billy Bob Conroy

Answer: Hawaii

Answer: "Clint"
