Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the popular 1970s TV series "Rhoda", the lead character married her sweetheart Joe Gerard in season one, but they divorced in season three. Who played Rhoda Morgenstern?

Answer: Valerie Harper

"Rhoda", which ran from 1974 to 1978, was a spinoff of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show". Julie Kavner (the voice of Marge on "The Simpsons") played Rhoda's younger sister Brenda. The wedding show broke viewing records.
2. "The New Adventures of Old Christine" was about Christine, the divorced mother of a young son whose ex-husband was dating a woman whose name was also Christine. The actress who portrayed the title character previously appeared in what long-running TV comedy?

Answer: Seinfeld

Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who played Elaine Benes on "Seinfeld", played 'Old' Christine. She won an Emmy for her performance on the series in the show's first season. It ran from 2005 to 2010.
3. Donna Noble (played by Catherine Tate) is one of the companions of the tenth Doctor on the long-running British sci-fi series "Doctor Who". She is first introduced in a wedding gown, but what goes wrong with her marriage plans?

Answer: Her fiancé turns out to be in league with the Empress of the Racnoss

Donna Noble, first introduced in the 2006 Christmas special called "The Runaway Bride" (one of the David Tennant episodes), becomes an important character in the overall story arc. She reappears in the 2008 season, seeking out the Doctor because she's bored with her life as a temp in Chiswick. Eventually, she turns out to have been destined for a critical role in the ongoing struggle to save the universe from the powers of evil.
4. Daphne Moon, a regular character in the long-running sitcom "Frasier", played by Jane Leeves, was all set to marry Donny. What went wrong on her wedding day?

Answer: Daphne decided to run away with Niles

"Frasier" ran from 1993 to 2004. Over the run of the show, Daphne was hired to care for Frasier's father, Martin (John Mahoney), and Niles fell in love with her. He carried a torch for several seasons, although he himself was married first to Maris and then to Melinda. Finally, he and Daphne did end up getting married themselves, and the final season ended with the birth of their son.
5. In both "Cheers" and its spinoff "Frasier", we were introduced to Frasier Crane's love interest and eventual wife, played by Bebe Neuwirth. The couple divorced after "Cheers" but before "Frasier". What was the name of Frasier's icy ex?

Answer: Lilith

Lilith Sternin appeared in 80 episodes of "Cheers" and 12 episodes of "Frasier" (although she was mentioned in many episodes in which she did not actually make an appearance.) She and Frasier had a son, Frederick. Despite the difficulties of their relationship, they clearly shared some chemistry, since they continued to have occasional romantic moments long after their divorce.
6. Despite their apparent differences, Homer and Marge of "The Simpsons" are devoted to one another and seem to have what it takes to ensure long-term married happiness. Has Homer ever been married to anyone besides Marge?

Answer: Yes

In the episode "Viva Ned Flanders", Homer takes Ned Flanders to Las Vegas. They have a wild night and wake up the next morning to find that they've married two cocktail waitresses, Amber and Ginger. Homer's wife Amber is voiced by Pamela Hayden, who also voices Milhouse, Rod Flanders and Jimbo Jones, among other characters.
7. Over the show's seven-year run, Lorelai Gilmore of "Gilmore Girls" was torn between Christopher (the father of her daughter Rory) and Luke (the owner of the local diner). She also dated several other men. How many men in total did Lorelai get engaged to during the course of the series?

Answer: Three

Lorelai was briefly engaged to Max, a teacher at Rory's school. Later, she and Luke got engaged, but when he somewhat belatedly told her he learned he also had a daughter, they split up. Then she got engaged to Chris (and actually did marry him), but the marriage ended when it became clear that she couldn't forget Luke. In short: it was complicated!
8. "Cougar Town" is a series about Jules, a divorced woman with a son in his early 20s; her ex-husband is part of her regular social life. What star of another popular comedy plays Jules?

Answer: Courteney Cox ("Friends")

In "Cougar Town", Courteney Cox plays the wine-loving Jules Cobb. Jules's ex-husband is named Bobby (played by Brian Van Holt). "Cougar Town" premiered in 2009.
9. The series "Grey's Anatomy" is very hard on character marriages. Take Dr. Cristina Yang, for instance. She started a troubled marriage with Dr. Owen Hunt in the seventh season, but what happened to the first man she was supposed to marry?

Answer: He left her at the altar and disappeared from her life

In the show's first three seasons, Cristina (Sandra Oh) was engaged to the brilliant surgeon Preston Burke (Isaiah Washington). She assisted him in his recovery after he suffered damage in a shooting incident, and the two became engaged. However, the marriage was (somewhat improbably) cancelled at the last minute. Burke's disappearance from the show followed upon a much publicized backstage argument between Washington and another cast member that ultimately resulted in Washington's dismissal.
10. In "Grey's Anatomy", Dr. Izzie Stevens, diagnosed with a potentially fatal cancer, was married from her hospital bed to Dr. Alex Karev. This was a bit of a role reversal for her, since she was previously engaged to a terminally ill patient, Denny Duquette. What happened to Denny?

Answer: He died of a stroke after heart surgery

Izzie (played by Katherine Heigl) did cut Denny's LVAD wire to make him sicker in order to move him up higher on the list of potential heart transplant recipients. Denny (played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) subsequently got the donor heart, but died shortly after the surgery. For some time afterwards, Izzie continued to receive visits from a ghost-Denny; eventually she realized that this was a symptom of brain cancer.
