On what other sitcom did he appear as a regular?
I should add that whenever possible, I used gender-neutral nouns and pronouns. Feel free to use IMDB, but you’ll have to rely on your memory as well. And there are some behind-the-camera trivia items as well.
70’s Trivia? 70’s is too old for me - I was only born in '75. Sorry, old fart.

Too hard to get the first question?
I gotta say Bea Arthur for #1. This sounds to me like a lot of stuff about the TV show ‘Maude’.
Excellent guess!
Excellent, but wrong. Think of a show from the same era as All in the Family, but very very different. And far more innocent.
I think I’m going to have to give a hint for question #1: It was on probably the most obscure episode of The Brady Bunch ever.
Umm… 42?
Seriously, the initial quote sounds familiar. If I could place it, I’m sure, it would all fall into place.
WAHA!
Mrs. Kelly? The Brady’s friends?
I had to Google. You think I watched that show?
**
- Who said “She makes Archie Bunker look like a liberal”? **
Mrs. kelly, the Brady’s neighbor.
**
2) To what actor was it said, and under what circumstances (from a production/programming standpoint)? **
One parent to another? And late at night? Is this what you want?
**3) About whom was it said? **
Mrs. Payne. A woman in the neighborhood who didn’t like the kids being adopted,.
That’s all I’ve got.

What actor played #3?
Molly Dodd!
- The actor from #4 played a different character in a different episode of the same series, this time in season 1. What important event happened to a regular character in that episode?
Did two widowed people marry?
- The same event happened to her that character’s counterpart on a different, but similar, series, also in season 1. Who was it, and who played the role?
I have no idea what the hell this means. Huh? And of course therefore I’m clueless on the rest, but maybe someone else can pick it up?
Wait, I’m wrong. not two people getting married, but Marcia got braces! Right? Man, this is freakin’ addictive.
You’re batting 1000 on all but question #2. The Kellys, Mrs. Payne the racist played by Molly Dodd, who was also on the episode where Marsha got braces. I’m still looking for the actor who played Mr. Kelly, and what was special, from a network point of view, about that episode. Bonus points if you can use the industry term.
To further explain the next link in the chain, there was a similar show to the Brady Bunch that was on during the same years. Their own version of Marsha got braces. Who was it, and on what show?
Kudos on the research, by the way. That’s half the game. You go, girl. Uh, I mean… Groovy!
I’m going to add a bonus question to #6. The character in question #6 had a male suitor. But the actor who played him didn’t get famous from that role. But within 7 years he was a household name. For what role?
Ken Berry?
And is it special because it was the first episode where they showed a commode?
Be back with this one. Hard!
Okay, I couldn’t get the very-Brady beginning, but I can go for a piece from where you all have left it.
-
Lori Partridge, played by Susan Dey on The Partridge Family. She got braces in Season 1.
-
Her braces picked up radio, so she heard The Rolling Stones, which made her incapable of playing her keyboards correctly.

Jeremy Gelbwaks

There seems to be some disagreement on this. I’ve seen interviews with Jeremy who says his family moved back East and didn’t want him living without them in LA. But Shirley Jones says on one of the interviews on my Season 1 DVD set that he just couldn’t keep up with the others acting-wise. She said that Susan Crough, who was younger than Jeremy, was an old hand, but Jeremy was doing his first acting and wasn’t really very good. (This bit is paraphrased from memory, but it’s the gist.) Personally, I thought he was fine. Perhaps he took more takes to get a good performance, which wouldn’t show to us at home.

Chris Partridge, the drummer and second-youngest in the family.

Brian Forster
'Fraid that’s as far as I can go outta my brain. I’d google Brian Forster to see what Brady ep he was in, but I’ll let someone else do that.
Oops, I forgot the bonus question.
6-bonus) Mark Hamil played the boy in whom Lori was interested in that episode, who she refused to let see her teeth until the end of the ep, and it was his transistor radio that was resonating into her mouth. He later did a little movie called Corvette Summer. Heh. Just kidding. He was Luke Skywalker!
Before someone else is forced to do it, let me correct myself. Hamill has two 'l’s and Laurie Partridge’s name wasn’t spelled ‘Lori.’
But I spelled Gelbwaks correctly without even looking it up.
