Great job Marc82.

Here is the first one:
This person played a character on this 1990's sitcom AND he was also on a 1980's sitcome as well. Can you name both shows, his real name and his character from this picture?
Alfonso Ribeiro who played Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. in the 90's

Here is the next one:
Im gonna make this one a bit harder since you guys are getting them so easily.
This actress played on a night time 1990's soap and in real life is married to one of her former cast members from that show. Can you name her, her character, the show and as a bonus, who married from this shows cast? :huh:
No guesses so far? Let me know if I need to leave another hint. I might have gotten too hard with this one.
OK, here is a hint: The show played on FOX and was on Monday nights........
OK, I must have gone too far with that one. LOL
The actress is Laura Leighton, she played Sydney Andrews on Melrose place from 1993 to 1997. She later married Melrose co-star Doug Savant, who now plays on the series Desperate Housewives.
Here is the next one:
This person was the host of a daytime game show in the late 1980's/early 1990's. He killed himself during around 1996 having bouts of depression. Can you name him? And the show he hosted?
No guesses on this one? :huh:
It took me awhile to remember what show he was on, but Ray Combs was on "The Family Feud" from 1988-1994. Despondent over many issues, he committed suicide in 1996.
You are correct beachgal26, and sadly you are correct about him ending his own life in 1996.
Here is the next item up for bid:
This gameshow host was on this particular "fun" morning game show from 1984 to 1986. Can you name the host, the show and the specific thing the show was known for?
I don't know who the host is, but I'm going to guess the show.
Either Trivia Trap, The All-New Let's Make A Deal, or Body Language.
This actor died on October 11, 1991.

QuoteOriginally posted by Ameskid

Redd Foxx who starred as Fred Sanford on Sanford and Sons.
Yout got two out of three Frameguy2704! The show, "Press Your Luck" was known for its cartoon like WHAMMIES!!
NO WHAMMIES, NO WHAMMIES, STOP!!
Wow, it doesnt seem like we lost Red Foxx that long ago. I can remember hearing about it the day he died on the news.
Here is our next person:
This actress was the youngest sister on a 1980's family sitcom. Can you name her character, real name, and the show?
I'm hot this week! That is Tina Yothers who was on "Family Ties" which also introduced us to the wonderful Michal J. Fox.
I forgot to add that she played the part of the yougest sister, Jennifer Keaton.
You know your 80's show's beachgal26!! In the later years the show added an "extra" son (as often happens with long running sitcoms), so I guess technically she wasnt the youngest child on the show, but she was the youngest daughter. :-)
Here is the next one:
This comedian was on Saturday Night Live for several seasons in the early 1990's. Sadly, he was murdered by his own wife. :no: Can you name him AND the show he was a character a part of when he was killed?
Phil Hartman, played Bill McNeal on News Radio
He was also Tory Mclure and Lionell Hutz on The Simpsons.

NO WHAMMIES, NO WHAMMIES, STOP!!
When you asked what the Show was Famous for, I thought you'd be looking for the Guy who won Thousands and Thousands of Dollars because he studied the Board at Home, and learned the Patterns. He did so well, that they were forced to continue the Game on the Next Airing Day. Poor Peter looked like he was going to have a Heart Attack!!
Phil Hartman was Captain Carl on Pee-Wee's Playhouse.
Yes, I remember fondly watching that episode of Press Your Luck where the guy kept winning and winning. I remember reading years later that he lost all of that money in poor investments. I give him credit for "learning" the board". He had won over $110,000 dollars on that show which was a lot of money back in the mid 1980's.
Now on to our next "star".
This person played on this 1970's/1980's sitcom for several years. The show actually changed names. Can you name her and the two names the show had?
Linda Lavin played Alice Hyatt on "Alice" I don't know the other name the show had, it did have a spinoff show named "Flo" which lasted 1 season.
I know it was based on the movie "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"
You are both correct! I guess I worded it wrong, what I meant to say was that people often called this show something else. Some people called it "Mel's Diner" which was the name of the restaurant that Alice worked at. Flo did in fact spin off into its own series, but only lasted one season as someone mentioned above.
Here is the next person:
This actress played on this night time "dramedy" from 1998 to 2002. Can you name the show, her character, her real name AND who she is currently dating?
Please do not confuse her with the show she currently plays on now. (I cant name it as it might give her away)
No guesses so far? :huh:
that's Calista Flockhart from Ally McBeal
Hey! How about some 70's and 80's soap opera trivia!
;)
Can you name this actor, his characther, and his show. BONUS question. How long has the show he is on been on the air?
That is Eric Braeden who plays Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless. And the show has been on the air since 1973.
Good job once again Frameguy2704
Here is the next one:
Can anyone name the show this truck was on from 1979 to 1981? Also, can you name the star from the show?
the only thing I can think of is Smokey and the bandit and Burt Reyonlds was the star of the show.
BJ and the Bear. Stars Greg Evigan.
Marc82 got it, its only the first you have missed Frameguy2704, you are still doing very well.
Here is the next one:
Can you name the woman on the left and the guy on the right AND the name of the show?
That's so easy! That is Heather Locklear, Adrian Zmed and William Shatner from "TJ Hooker."
As a bit of trivia, Adrian Zmed played the best friend of Tom Hanks in "Bachelor Party" in 1984.
:insane: :insane:
Ooops, I spoke too soon. The guy in the middle is James Darren. Adrian Zmed came on the show a bit latter.
:o
she played oh a tv series from 1993 to 1999 whats her name on the show and her real name
Lauren Lane who played C.C. Babcock on the Nanny
Hi! Do I get credit for being correct on TJ Hooker?
:huh: :huh:
Can you name the show, ALL the character names AND who is the only major character missing from the picture? :huh:
And yes, Kudo's to beachgal26 for getting and correcting herself on the TJ Hooker pic. :duh:
Actuaully TWO major characters are missing from the picture above. Can you name all SEVEN? Bonus question, what was the name of the show the first season it was on tv? It changed names after season one.

Screetch- Dustin Diamond
Kelly - Tiffany Amber Thiessen
Jesse - Elizabeth Berkely
Zack - Mark Paul Gossaler
Mr. Belding - Dennis Hasikins
Missing
Slater - Mario Lopez
Lisa - Lark Voohries
Tori - Leanna Creel (season 4)
The was called "Save by the Bell' and was later named "Saved by the Bell the college years"

The was called "Save by the Bell' and was later named "Saved by the Bell the college years"
they chaged it to the new save by the bell witch ran till 1999 and yes they did also have the college years as well
Many of you were correct with this one! Both Mario Lopez and Lark Voorhies are missing from the picture (not sure why):huh:
The original season has a female teacher main character and the show was called "Good Morning Miss Bliss".
Starting with season two, two of the original cast members were dropped and a few new ones were added. Starting with season two the show was called, "Saved by the Bell".
A second set of "kids" were brought in in the later 1990's to replace the original cast once they went to the night time "college" show.
All in all, I think anyone that grew up in the 1990's fondly remembers this series from Every Saturday morning. And bonus points to whomever mentioned Tori Spelling from season 4.
Good Job by all of you!!

You are correct. Have a cookie :)
can anyone name this star who has a short lived role on this hit tv show
Not sure which character you want as this actress Jenilee Harrison was a short lived character on both "Three's Company" and "Dallas" in the 1980's.
On Three's Company she was the replacement character for Susan Summers and her character was named Cindy Snow.
In the mid 1980's she played character Jamie Ewing Barnes on Dallas.
Hope one of these answers is what you were looking for!
Also, somehow we skipped over the last person. It is actress Dahpne Zuniga who played character Jo Reynolds on the night time soap, "Melrose Place" from 1992 to 1996. She currently plays on the series, "One Tree Hill".
This actor starred on this series in the early 1980's AND again in another series in the 1990's. Can you name the following:
1. His real name?
2. His original series name?
3. His 1990's "break out" series?
And as a bonus question" What was his signature saying?
still no guesses on who this is??? :huh:
OK, that was former child star Joey Lawrence from, "Gimmie A Break" and later "Blossom".
I came on too late to guess, but his trademark saying was "wow." He also was a hell of a dancer on "Dancing with the Stars" (my fave!)
Can anyone name this 80's teen star and any of the movies he played in?
he was in the breakfast club i think?
Correct, he was part of the "Brat Pack" of the 1980's. Can anyone name him? :huh:
Anthony Michael Hall
CORRECT! Anthony Michael Hall is correct!
