For #4: I remember this not from watching the show (although I did view it from time to time), but because I caught one of those “Former Child Stars” specials in which Danny Bonaduce related an anecdote about strumming his instrument, only to be told by David Cassidy: “You don’t strum a bass, idiot! You _pluck_ it!”

1 and 8 were difficult! One because it’s hard not to write it three times and 8 because I can’t remember anyone else on the show. I know Laverne (and probably Shirley?) only guested on the show and weren’t featured, but there was a tie-in, right?

I hate to break this to you, QT, but Laverne and Shirley did not appear on _Mork & Mindy_. You’re probably remembering that Laverne & Shirley and Mork all originally appeared on _Happy Days_.

But not together.

Of course it does not matter if a reply is correct. I didn’t even get #4 correct.

Milwaukee, WI isn’t right next door to Boulder CO?

I think **garygnu** ’s answer of “Wayne” for one of the Brady kids oughta win the thread. 🆒

Yes indeed, **OtakuLoki**! However, it is plain to see that our charming Dolores was momentarily possessed by the spirit of Terry Gilliam; and therefore excused from any buttkicking on my part.

Actually, they both get a pass… It’s ok to have the questions _above_ the answers. It’s having the answers _in the same line_ as the questions.
