What was the significance of Coronet Blue?
As was the premise for more than one episode, they loved each other.
Quincy’s first initial was R. (seen on an episode where we see a business card he’s handing to Kim Cattrall.)
He was never given his own first name.
Can’t help you with Columbo.
As for Tootie’s roller skates, Kim Fields (the actress who played the character), was significantly younger and shorter than the other girls. So the producers put her in roller skates (which were in vogue at the time) to even it out.

According to my mom, who just loves Columbo, his first name is James.
It was an ottoman, and part way into the series, they changed the opening sequence to have DVD manuever around it instead of trip over it.
My question: where did they find the no-maintenance kid, Richie, and how can I trade my heathens for one like him?
They did try to patch up the boat with glue made from tree sap but but the glue didn’t hold up and somehow it caused every single other plank on the boat to fall off.
And John Waters rewrote the story as Pink Flamingos
I heard a supposed Micheal Landon quote about the possible homosexuality of the Cartright boys, he is alleged to have said they weren’t, but it was a good thing Hop Sing was. Sounds like the “move that damn cat” quote from Carson.
Levinson and Link (can’t remember their first names, William and ??) have gone on record saying that Columbo had no first name, though Trivial Pursuit once mistakenly issued a card whereon the (incorrect) first name was given as Philip.
I have heard that Peter Falk answers this question with “Lieutenant.”

Robbie Rist was only on two episodes of “The Brady Bunch”, even though http://www.IMDB.COM lists him as a regular character.
He’s had much more success than his TV cousins. Besides 27 movies and TV series (as a regular), he’s also made 21 guest appearances, 3 as three different kids on “CHiPs” (they were never ones for continuity).
On “Earth 2”… Did they ever make it back home, did they decide to stay on the planet, and what was up with the kid being in contact with the aliens of the planet?
And was Cupid really cupid?

I often wondered the same thing myself. I don’t think he was. I really enjoyed that show.
According to this:

Oliver was on six episodes. He certainly can’t be considered a “regular,” though.
When our family watched that series on prime time, we always kept track of whether Van Dyke tripped over the ottoman (or hassock, as we call it), or sidestepped it. In fact one time he sidestepped it for six consecutive episodes; the next week he tripped over it. I think the producers used the openings interchangeably.
Who is Number 1? (Patrick McGoohan)
You are…Number 6 (Number 2)
Does this answer the question, or create more?
How come Homer Simpson and his family aren’t all dead from cancer? In one episode, Mr. Burns made Homer eat about 12 barrels of radioactive waste, he took a nap in the core, their basement has a couple of leaking barrels of waste!
Does Johny Bravo know he’s going to die alone? All women hate him!
Why did Lloyd Bridges always swim alone on Sea Hunt, when no deep sea diver in his right mind would even think of doing that?
How come the magazine on Just Shoot Me is run by five people? There are a whole bunch of other employees, but only five people show up at the meetings, and one of them is the boss’s secretary!
Columbo was never given a first name. Period.
On Fresh Prince, if Will Smith’s mother is Vi Smith and his father is Lou Smith, then how they refer to his mother and her three sisters as the “Smith sisters”? Was she a Smith who married a Smith?
What happened when Lyta and G’Kar went exploring the galaxy together?
What happened during the Telepath War?
Where did Sheridan actually go - to the Rim, to another level of existence, or did he just die?

Why does Fred Flintstone always order the extra-large brontosaurus ribs at the end of evey episode when he KNOWS it’s going to tip his car over?

According to The Official Dick Van Dyke Show Book, by Vince Waldron, this is true. Both opening sequences were filmed at the same time, and it was up to the editor to decide which one would air with a particular episode. Not even Dick Van Dyke knew whether he would trip or not at the beginning of a given show.
It’s somewhat sad that I know this off the top of my head, isn’t it?
On Pearl (anyone remember this from 5 years ago? I kind of liked it, even though it was on for only a season), did Rhea Pearlman take any other classes? And what made her English class better than the others, if she did take other classes?
