Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Mike said, "You can't take a step forward _______________."

Answer: with both feet still on the ground

This quote was from the episode "Today I Am A Freshman." Mike says this to Marcia when she is apprehensive about high school, and she agrees to go out and get involved in her new school by joining virtually every club offered.
2. Mike's words of wisdom to Greg after he bought a lemon of a car was "Them who don't look, sometimes get took."

Answer: True

Yes! Believe it or not, Mike Brady actually uttered these words in the episode "The Wheeler Dealer." Of course Greg agrees with him since he had fallen victim to his smooth talking friend and didn't let Mike check it out first. Why Mike chose to use such poor, uncharacteristic grammar is anyone's guess!
3. Carol said, "Fame is a fleeting thing, but _______."

Answer: a college education will last you a lifetime

Carol says this to Greg when he decides to put off college to be Johnny Bravo. In the end, Greg decides Mother knows best as the episode title, "Adios, Johnny Bravo", indicates.
4. Who was Mike talking to when he said, "What other people say privately is none of our business"?

Answer: Cindy

Mike says this to Cindy when she has a problem with tattling in the episode aptly titled, "Tattletale". After the chat with her father, Cindy becomes almost too tight-lipped, afraid she'll get herself, or someone else, in trouble.
5. Carol said, "If you carry a joke too far _________."

Answer: someone can get hurt

Finally fed up with the kids and their constant trying to scare one another, she says this to them after they scare Alice who hits the bust Carol made and breaks it in the episode "Fright Night." In true Brady fashion, the kids agree with their parents, apologize, and decide to call a truce and stop trying to scare each other.
6. Who said, "Exact words are pretty hard to live by"?

Answer: Mike

Mike says this to Carol after she questions if they let Greg off his punishment too easily in "Greg Gets Grounded." Greg had thought he was grounded unfairly because his parents didn't state EXACTLY what they meant so he decided to live by exact words, which didn't quite go as smoothly as he planned.
7. Carol said, "Everyone loves a good gag, but some practical jokes just aren't funny," to which Brady kid?

Answer: Jan

Carol says this to Jan the "Impractical Joker" after she hides Greg's mouse and it escapes. The whole family agrees since they believe the mouse has been exterminated.
8. Carol said, "Money and fame are very important things, but sometimes there are other things that are more important, like __________."

Answer: people

In the episode "Dough Re Me", Carol tells this to the kids when they are trying to decide if they should let Peter record a song with them while his voice is changing. Of course, in true Brady fashion, the gang comes together to record Greg's new song specially written to accomodate his brother's "new sound".
9. Mike gave this advice, "Be prompt, hard working, and loyal," to which Brady kid?

Answer: Peter

Mike gives this advice to Peter when he takes his first job. Peter takes this advice to heart, but he's fired from his job anyway. So I guess the episode's title, "How To Succeed in Business" doesn't quite seem appropriate.
10. Carol said, "Find what you do best, and do your best with it," to which Brady kid?

Answer: Jan - when she keeps failing at everything she tries

Sick of being in her sister's shadow, in the episode appropriately titled "Her Sister's Shadow", Jan tries to make a name for herself. Jan takes Carol's advice to heart and when she finally thinks she's done something Marcia hasn't been able to accomplish, once again she is disappointed to discover an error in scoring. Poor Jan.
