Player doiknow sent me a note saying she heard Opie was named for an old bandleader named Opie Cates. Andy Griffith and Sheldon Leonard were fans of his. Thanks for the information doiknow! Ron Howard went on to become a very successful film director.

7. He played the ultra conservative Alex P. Keaton on 'Family Ties' and later played Mike Flaherty on 'Spin City'. Who is he?

Answer: Michael J. Fox

Mr. Fox left 'Spin City' so he could devote more time to the fight of Parkinson's Disease. He went on to guest star on "Scrubs", "Boston Legal", and "Rescue Me". In 2013 he started his own series once more, and it was called "The Michael J. Fox Show".
8. He played Tony Banta on 'Taxi' then became housekeeper Tony Micelli on 'Who's The Boss'. Who is he?

Tony went on to host a daytime talk show. Some years later, after the talk show was canceled, he was an assistant teacher at a Philadelphia high school. Afterward, he wrote a book based on his experience in that role.
9. She was police officer Mary Beth Lacey on 'Cagney and Lacey' and went on to play social worker Maxine Gray on 'Judging Amy'. Who is she?

Answer: Tyne Daly

Her brother is Tim Daly of 'Wings' and 'Private Practice' fame. In 2009 she guest starred on "Grey's Anatomy" and in 2010 on "Burn Notice".
10. He had two self titled shows. He was Bob Hartley on the show with his first and last name in the title. Then he was Dick Louden, an innkeeper in his show that had his last name as the title. Who is he?

Answer: Bob Newhart

'The Bob Newhart Show' is my favorite of the two, although 'Newhart' was funny also. Bob was in three made for cable TV movies called "The Librarian" (in 2004, 2006, and 2008 respectively) and had a cameo in the 2011 comedy "Horrible Bosses".
