tdn, I need a hint to find the follow-up episode. You write:

“the same character had a dilemna”

and yet you go on to say that all the characters (or several) did the same thing. Well the thing is a play. Several of the chars were in a play, and I see where the entire family was in one…but I can’t see anyplace that she had a similar dilemna. Is it this one:

You Can’t Win 'Em All

Oh, geez, I don’t know the episode name. But yeah, it was about a play. Where all of the Brady kids had parts. The grownups, too.

The common dilemma is Cindy is in a play, and shit goes down. I probably could have phrased the question better. Two extra points for you for putting up with my silliness.

Waha! The episode is: “Snow White and the Seven Bradys”.

1. In a much later season, the same character had a dilemma not unsimilar to that in #13. What was it?

The dilemna is that there wasn’t enough kids to play the dwarves?

Another hint: The episode focused on Cindy.

MORE!

1. In the episode referenced in #14, something was coveted by most of the characters. What was it and who got it?

Everyone wanted to be Dopey.

1. Who played that part?

Sam? Sigh…which one is Sam? Allan Melvin?

1. On what other sitcom did he appear as a regular?

Two as a matter of fact. He was Cpl. Henshaw in “The Phil Silvers Show”, but I have a feeling what you mean is “All in the Family” and he was…Archie Bunker’s best friend.

Am I right? Huh? Huh? _shakes **tdn** _ Tell me!

Stifle, will yas?

Actually, the final answer I was looking for was Archie Bunker’s Place, but he was on All in the Family as well. Either answer is acceptable.

Therefore, Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!

Well played, folks! 😃

And as a last bonus question, which Brady played which dwarf?

I think – and I’m not sure – that Jan was Happy. Greg was Doc. Bobby was Bashful?

Mike - Prince Charming  
Carol - Snow White  
Alice - Evil Queen  
Sam - Dopey  
Greg - Doc  
Marcia - Sleepy  
Peter - Sneezy  
Jan - Happy  
Bobby - Bashful  
Cindy - Grumpy

Now I have all these linky-poos in my history, so easy!

Sneezy! Freakin’ Sneezy! I took a good guess on the rest, but I couldn’t remember all 7 dwarves’ names.

**Anaamika** , you did a great job on this. It was really made for serious fans of those shows, people like me who saw every episode 20 times. Excellent research. And **Saltire** , excellent geekdom on your part. That’s the stuff I was looking for. (Myself, I know more Brady trivia than Partridge trivia, but that’s a matter of circumstance. Given the choice, I would have c’mon gotten happy than formed a family from a hunch. And while I hade a preteen bone for Marsha, Laurie was my TV feelup of choice.)

So, folks, is this a good game or a lame one? Another round, or bury it? Too easy? Too hard? Don’t care? Didn’t bother to read? Thread title too off-putting?
