1. He smoked (both cigarettes and weed).
2. Don Drysdale, Joe Namath, Deacon Jones
3. Melissa Sue Anderson.

That’s all I know. I thought Greg DID move into the attic.

t10 Greg  
t11 “Yours, Mine & Ours”  
t12 Cousin Oliver (in the final episode - about the rabbits Bobby was trying to sell).  
t16 They released a ‘solo’ record of just the two of them (which is particularly ironic since Chris Knight has freely admitted he can’t sing.)

[/QUOTE]

In episode 95, _A Room at the Top_, Greg moves into the attic after fighting about it with Marcia.

However, in an earlier episode, _Our son, the Man_, when Carol suggests Greg move into the attic Mike says “That would be great if Greg were 2 and a half feet tall.”

t2. Why couldn’t Greg move into the attic?

He did. First he moved into the den, then later into the attic. That is where he stashed the school mascot/goat in the last season.

[QUOTE=tdn]  
t6. What happened to Greg’s lip?  
[/quote]

Cut himself shaving. In real life, it was a car accident.

I think they originally performed the theme song.

Is this the one that was Sherwood Schwartz’ daugher?

I thought Greg moved into the attic also. Didn’t he trick Bobby and Peter with a sheet, whistle, and flashlight into thinking there was a UFO from his attic room?

He did, but as was correctly answered in an earlier post, when he moved into the den several seasons prior, the attic was not an option.

Must be cool to have an architect for a dad.

As an addendum to t13: On the first day of filming, Florence Henderson sat between what two actors while all three got makeup?

t13a: What actress appeared on both shows? (Don’t need a name, but describe both episodes.)

You’re right, although I could actually picture the scene. Upon IMDB consultation turns out I was misremembering an I Dream of Jeannie ep. And I misspelled Rosey Grier.

I’m going to give some hints for the unanswered questions.

t3. For what establishment did Peter make deliveries?

This was after his failed career as an ice cream slinger.

t5. What was wrong with Mark Mallard?

It involved Alice.

t13. On the first day of filming, Florence Henderson sat between what two actors while all three got makeup?

The two actors were on a different show. Think about who Paramount had just bought out.

t14. Old prospectors did what three things? Except when, then what?

According to Jim Baccus.

t15. Who played Mr. Whitehead?

It was not John Hillerman.
