Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the pilot episode, Mary moves to Minneapolis after breaking up with long-time doctor-boyfriend Bill. He comes to visit her, and surprises her with "roses in winter." From whose sick bed did Bill take the flowers?

Answer: Uncle Buddy

While Bill is visiting with Mary in her new apartment, Lou is sitting in the background at her typewriter, writing a drunken love letter to his wife, who is out of town. While Mary was hoping that Bill was finally ready to get married, she soon realizes that she is wrong, and says goodbye once and for all. But don't worry..."she might just make it after all."
2. Mary and Rhoda decide to take a night class together, and Mary eventually starts dating the teacher, Dan Whitfield. What was the subject of this class?

Answer: Journalism

Mary is unhappy with the grade she receives on her assignment, especially since Rhoda did better than her. But Dan explains that she is already a talented professional working in the news field, and he therefore expects more from her. Dan eventually leaves town, but returns later in the series only to find that he still has feelings for Mary!
3. At one point, Mary dates a guest who appears on the WJM show "Scrutiny." He is a writer whom Mary finds to be intelligent, funny, and attractive. But, once he stands up, she has trouble forgetting the fact that he is so short! What is his name?

Answer: Eric Matthews

Mary doesn't want to dump Eric just because of his height, but she is constantly uncomfortable because she feels so much taller than him. She even practices walking all hunched over in front of her mirror, hoping to look shorter. And she is beyond embarrassed when she accidentally introduces him to Rhoda as "Eric Shrimp." In the end, they are both able to laugh at the height situation, and Eric even dedicates his book to Mary.
4. Mary accepts a lunch date with a man named John Corcoran. However, what surprising fact does she soon learn about this man?

Answer: He's married

Despite being undeniably attracted to John, Mary is quite shocked to find out that he's a married man! Needless to say, the relationship never really develops after that.
5. Dr. Udall, an enthusiastic dentist, is a huge admirer of Mary - and her teeth. He is a member of the "Better Luck Next Time Club," for divorced people. Mary and Rhoda joined this club with the hope of getting a discounted charter flight to where?

Answer: Paris

Dr. Walter Udall is a big fan of Mary's perfect smile, and he pushes for her election to the club's board. Mary and Rhoda soon have to 'fess up to the fact that they're not divorced, and that they joined the club to get a discounted flight to Paris. Surprisingly enough, many of the club's members follow suit and reveal similar stories!
6. In one episode, Mary is audited by the IRS. Her auditor, the very shy Robert C. Brand, soon starts to fall for her. What food does Mary offer Robert on the first night of the audit?

Answer: cookies

A very nervous Mary offers Robert some homemade cookies, which he gladly accepts. Mary is very anxious throughout her audit, especially when Robert tells her that many of the things she has claimed are not deductible. Robert ends up feeling romantic towards Mary, and they share an appropriately awkward kiss.
7. In season one, Mary is involved with the two Arnell brothers at different times. One of the brothers also makes a 2nd-season appearance at Mary's high school reunion. What are their names?

Answer: Howard and Paul

Paul and Howard Arnell both get to date the lovely Mary Richards at one point or another. Mary invites former boyfriend Howard to a get-together at her house, while Rhoda calls Armand Linton, who surprises her when he brings his beautiful new wife. Further embarrassment ensues when Mary realizes that everyone is expecting dinner, and she has nothing to give them. Mary later dates Paul, but soon learns that Mr. and Mrs. Arnell still think that she is with Howard! Finally, Howard re-appears at Mary's high school reunion, with a hole in his sock, and an undying affection for Mary.
8. Mary even dates Ted Baxter...sort of. She pretends to be his girlfriend as a favour, when Ted's over-confident brother is in town and Ted wants to show him up. What is Ted's brother's name?

Answer: Hal

Unbelievably, Hal Baxter (portrayed by Jack Cassidy) is even more annoying and obnoxious than Ted! The two brothers begin competing over everything, and Ted claims that Mary is his girlfriend. The two double date with Rhoda and Hal, but Ted overstays his welcome at Mary's apartment and she forces Ted to come clean with his brother.

It turns out Hal's life might not be as perfect as it seems either!
9. One night, when Mary is supposed to be babysitting Bess, a man she used to date calls her up and invites her out. His nickname is "Sandy" and he is a pianist, only in town a few times a year. What is Sandy's real name?

Answer: Anton Styrakowski

Mary really wanted to go out with Sandy so, desperate for a babysitter to take care of Bess, she calls none other than Lou Grant! Lou agrees to do it because Mary has a working T.V. and he wants to watch a big fight. In the end, he and Bess end up having fun together, and the evening leaves Lou all tuckered out.
10. In one episode, Mary dates a man named Matt Bryan. Mary soon meets Matt's son, and realizes that Matt Jr. is only six years younger than her! Adding to the confusion is the fact that the younger Matt also starts developing feelings for Mary. What is Matt Bryan's profession?

Answer: Architect

Matt Bryan is an architect and, although Mary knows that he is older than her, she is not prepared for the reality check that comes when she meets Matt Jr., who is much closer to her own age. Then, suddenly, she has two Matt Bryans interested in her! She may have been single, but Mary Richards sure had plenty of male attention!
