[VGNonly]

1. University of American Samoa

Who was the 70's sitcom player in El Camino? She was in the scenes with Ed Galbraith, The Disappearer.

[red dog 1]

4. Correctamundo!

On the 1st one, and close enough on the 2nd (I think it was blue)


As to your question about El Camino...I don't know her name. (Was she on The Jeffersons?

[VGNonly]

5. Marla Gibbs

she was the maid Florida. She's 95.

[JoseBalow]

14. Florence

Florida Evans (Esther Rolle) was JJ's mom on Good Times.

Close, though!

[VGNonly]

2. On MASH, what was Frank Burns hometown?

[quaint]

3. Fort Wayne?

What state is that in? Did I confuse Wayne Rogers?
Excuse me, I haven't slept recently...

[VGNonly]

6. Frank was from Fort Wayne IN.

Trapper was from Chicago. Remember Adams Ribs from Joliet Station .

[red dog 1]

7. Hawkeye, not Trapper John, ordered the ribs from "Adam's Ribs"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%27s_Ribs

(He forgot to order the Coleslaw)

"And for our entre tonight, we have liver or fish"

[VGNonly]

9. It's been a long time since seeing that episode.

I had in my mind that Trapper knew of Adams Ribs.

In the very early episodes, Hawkeye was not from Maine. What state?

[boonecreek]

16. Vermont.

IIRC that was in the first "Dear Dad" episode.

[VGNonly]

17. Yes Vermont.

If I remember correctly Hawkeye also had a sister and perhaps a living mother, in others episodes he said he was an only child and his father was a widower.

I saw Alan Alda at a talk and book signing. I saw Jamie Farr and shook his hand in Toledo.

[VGNonly]

18. A river of liver and an ocean of fish!

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Joliet Station

As that's the city in which I grew up, that bugged me because there were no restaurants at the train station until the 1990s.
They got the addresses & the direction the streets ran wrong in The Sting, too.
That bugged me, too.

Hmm... I'd guess Columbo, but he was one-eyed, not crossed-eyed.

he hosted before Who do You Trust. I now remember him talking about it
on the Tonight Show. My curiosity got the best of me so I looked it up on

She was a treat.

[red dog 1]

46. Well, 7 out of 8 isn't bad.

(I won't name the 8th guy ...Let's see if anyone can name him)

Carlin was the first host, and the original title was "NBC's Saturday Night"

[Harker]

40. "Saturday Night!", I think, George Carlin...

and the cast, as I can manage it, were Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtin, Garret Morris, and Larrain (sp?) Newman.

If there was an eighth, I'm coming up blank.
