Redd Foxx who starred as Fred Sanford on Sanford and Sons.

[HoJofan206]

Yout got two out of three Frameguy2704!  The show, "Press Your Luck" was known for its cartoon like WHAMMIES!!

NO WHAMMIES, NO WHAMMIES, STOP!!

[HoJofan206]

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?

[beachgal26]

I'm hot this week!  That is Tina Yothers who was on "Family Ties" which also introduced us to the wonderful Michal J. Fox.

[beachgal26]

I forgot to add that she played the part of the yougest sister, Jennifer Keaton.

[HoJofan206]

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?

[frameguy2704]

Phil Hartman, played Bill McNeal on News Radio

[Marc82]

He was also Tory Mclure and Lionell Hutz on The Simpsons.

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!!

[Ameskid]

Phil Hartman was Captain Carl on Pee-Wee's Playhouse.

[HoJofan206]

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.

[HoJofan206]

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?

[frameguy2704]

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.

[scottw73]

I know it was based on the movie "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore"

[HoJofan206]

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)

[HoJofan206]

No guesses so far?  :huh:

[ameskmart1]

that's Calista Flockhart from Ally McBeal

[beachgal26]

Hey!  How about some 70's and 80's soap opera trivia!

;)

[HoJofan206]

Can you name this actor, his characther, and his show.  BONUS question.  How long has the show he is on been on the air?

[frameguy2704]

That is Eric Braeden who plays Victor Newman on The Young and the Restless. And the show has been on the air since 1973.

[HoJofan206]

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?

[frameguy2704]

the only thing I can think of is Smokey and the bandit and Burt Reyonlds was the star of the show.

[Marc82]

BJ and the Bear.  Stars Greg Evigan.

[HoJofan206]

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?

[beachgal26]

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:

[beachgal26]

Ooops, I spoke too soon.  The guy in the middle is James Darren.  Adrian Zmed came on the show a bit latter.

:o
