Cheers Quiz, 18-Apr-1991 edition.
|
|
|
|
Many thanks to Eric Jorgensen (jorgy@boulder.colorado.edu) and
|
|
Kevin Treu (kst@cs.virginia.edu), co-authors of the Cheers episode
|
|
guide, for their help in researching and proofreading this quiz.
|
|
|
|
The questions are sorted by topic, not by difficulty. Estimated
|
|
difficulty ratings (enclosed in [square brackets]) are:
|
|
|
|
0 = solvable by casual viewers
|
|
1 = solvable by moderately devoted viewers
|
|
2 = solvable by addicted viewers
|
|
3 = research problem
|
|
|
|
+ and - can be used to adjust the value. E.g., 0+ or 2-.
|
|
In particular, a rating of 3+ means that even watching every
|
|
single second of every episode won't help.
|
|
|
|
A `*' means that the information is contained in only one episode.
|
|
For these questions, the ratings are
|
|
|
|
*0 = solvable if you watched the episode casually
|
|
*1 = solvable if you watched the episode carefully
|
|
*2 = a single line of dialog answers the question
|
|
*3 = you need freeze-frame to answer this one
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the rating is given as [?], that means the question was
|
|
submitted by somebody else, and I didn't know the answer, so I
|
|
couldn't give it a rating.
|
|
|
|
Some of the questions are trick questions. You will score
|
|
bonus points if you give both the obvious (wrong) answer
|
|
and the correct (trick) answer.

CHAPTER 13: Questions you aren't expected to be able to answer
|
|
|
|
Don't keep score on these questions. If I were rating them,
|

they would all be [3+] level question.
|
|
|
|
157: While casting for Cheers, the search centered on three pairs

|
CHAPTER 14: More useless trivia
|
|
|
|
The `evil foosball table' subplot of ``Achilles Hill'' is an
|
|
inside joke. The Cheers actors are real foosball addicts.
|
|
|
|
Woody Harrelson likes to shoot spitballs at George Wendt
|
|
during breaks in filming. If you look carefully, you can
|
|
sometimes see a spitball just above George's eyebrow.
|
|
(Woody is the prankster on the set.)

Each answer contains a reference to the episode(s) wherein the
|
|
answer can be found, contained in square brackets. If the episode
|
|
is given as [?], then I don't know which episode it came from.
|
|
Episode titles are given in the Cheers Episode Guide being
|
|
produced by Eric Jorgensen (jorgy@boulder.colorado.edu) and
|
|
Kevin Treu (kst@cs.virginia.edu).
|
|
|
|
Scoring:
|
|
|
|
For most questions, score one point for each correct answer.
|
|
If a question has more than one part, score one point for
|
|
each part. If you are asked to produce a list, score one
|
|
point for each item you can list. Here are some examples:
|
|
|
|
Who is the President of the United States? =1
|
|
What are the first two letters of the alphabet? =2
|
|
List the colors of the rainbow. =7
|
|
How many synonyms for `stupid' can you think of? =B
|
|
|
|
For the last question, you score one point for each synonym
|
|
you can think of. So if you got the first three all correct
|
|
and thought of five synonyms, then you score 1+2+7+5 = 15.
|
|
|
|
For trick questions, the scoring is given explicitly.
|
|
|
|
Sections that begin with the word `incidentally' are for
|
|
personal edification and are worth no points.
|
|
|
|
A perfect score is 233 points from the regular questions,
|
|
plus 122 points from the 25 bonus questions (the `B' questions),
|
|
for a total of 355.

CHAPTER 1: The show itself
|
|
|
|
1: `Cheers is filmed before a live studio audience.'
|
|
|
|
Often Rhea Perlman says `Hey! Cheers is filmed...'
|
|
[Show Down (Part 1); Power Play; Coachie Makes Three;
|
|
Norman's Conquest; The Groom Wore Clearasil]
|
|
|
|
Sometimes John Ratzenberger says `Here's a fascinating
|
|
fact: Cheers is filmed...' [No Contest; Show Down (Part 2)]
|
|
|
|
Many of the first-season episodes just show the `Cheers' sign
|
|
with no voice-over. [Coach Returns to Action; Endless Slumper;
|
|
The Spy Who Came in for a Cold One; Father Knows Last]
|
|
|
|
Sometimes, we just hear the audio from the scene in progress:
|
|
Cliff babbling. [Where There's a Will...]
|
|
Coach listening to the radio. [No Help Wanted]
|
|
Coach saying it's closing time. [I'll Be Seeing You (Part 2)]
|
|
|
|
In the winter, you might see snow falling on the `Cheers' sign.
|
|
[Christmas Cheers]
|
|
|
|
For the second of a two-part episode, Ted Danson said `Last time
|
|
on `Cheers'...' [Little Carla, Happy at Last (Part 2)]
|
|
|
|
2: `Where Everybody Knows Your Name'.
|
|
Written by Judy Hart Angelo and Gary Portnoy.
|
|
Sung by Gary Portnoy. [flashes during the end credits]
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, they won an Emmy nomination for the song
|
|
after the first season.
|
|
|
|
3: `St. Elsewhere'.
|
|
Carla goes to St. Eligius to have her kids. [Little Sister
|
|
Don't Cha]
|
|
|
|
The `Cheers' sign is visible during one of Jack's strolls through
|
|
Boston.
|
|
|
|
Westphall, Craig, and Auschlander stopped by Cheers for drinks
|
|
during the 27 March 1985 episode, appropriately titled `Cheers'.
|
|
|
|
`Wings'.
|
|
Norm and Cliff take a fishing vacation on Sandpiper Air, but
|
|
end up spending all their time in local bars. (Incidentally,
|
|
Wings was created by Peter Casey, David Lee and David Angell,
|
|
who also worked on `Cheers'.)
|
|
|
|
`Major League Baseball'.
|
|
The `Cheers' gang appeared in one of the pre-game shows for the
|
|
1986 World Series between the Mets and the Red Sox. It was a
|
|
hilarious bit featuring Bob Costas and all of the regular
|
|
characters. Throughout, Diane was enamored with the TV camera and
|
|
could always be seen in the background waving.
|
|
|
|
A spinoff sitcom `The Tortellis' based on Nick and Loretta died a
|
|
quick death.
|
|
|
|
(The following are fun tidbits of information; score no points
|
|
for mentioning any of them.)
|
|
|
|
The `Cheers' gang also produced a short film promoting US Savings
|
|
Bonds sometime between 1985 and 1987. Cliff comes in and
|
|
describes his Florida vacation, and mentions that he paid for it
|
|
from his savings bonds.
|
|
|
|
The `Cheers' gang appeared in an `Energizer' promotion in 1991.
|
|
|
|
George Wendt did one or two `Meisterbrau' commercials,
|
|
pretending to a beer-guzzling sort of fellow.
|
|
|
|
John Ratzenberger did a `Hallmark' commercial, pretending to be
|
|
a mailman.
|
|
|
|
(Most networks have a policy of not airing commercials that
|
|
use characters from rival networks. That's why George and John
|
|
don't portray Norm and Cliff in commercials, but rather people
|
|
who happen to bear a striking similarity to Norm and Cliff.)
|
|
|
|
4: `Spencer for Hire'. [Woody for Hire and Norman of the Apes]
|
|
|
|
`Jeopardy'. [My Fair Clavin; What is ... Cliff Clavin?]
|
|
Cliff also offers to watch it with Ma. [Ma Always Liked You
|
|
Better]
|
|
|
|
`The Arsenio Hall Show'. [Where Nobody Knows Your Name]
|
|
|
|
For those that care, here are the shows that were mentioned
|
|
in passing, or weren't otherwise prominently displayed.
|
|
|
|
`Ripley's Believe It Or Not'. Cliff hopes his potato that
|
|
looks like Nixon is newsworthy. [The Groom Wore Clearasil]
|
|
|
|
`LA Law'. At Frasier's bachelor party, the gang muse about what
|
|
woman they'd like to have most. Norm says, `Jill Eichenberry.
|
|
You know, LA Law? She married that short dumpy guy on the show.
|
|
There's something about her I like...'
|
|
[To All the Girls I've Loved Before]
|
|
|
|
`The Addams Family' and `The Munsters' -- the gang argue which
|
|
is better. [How to Win Friends and Electrocute Yourself]

|

autograph. [Hot Rocks]

`In Charge?'

[I'm Gonna Get My Act Together and Stick it in Your Face]
|
|
|

Incidentally, `It's a Wonderful Life' was on the bar television
|
|
[Christmas Cheers].
|
|
|

|
6: Shelley Long:
|
|
Pregnant in real life at end of third season,
|
|
not pregnant in character.
|
|
|
|
Rhea Perlman:
|
|
Pregnant both in real life and in character at end
|
|
of first season and beginning of second season.
|
|
|
|
Pregnant in character (Ludlow) in third season.
|
|
|
|
Pregnant in character (Jesse and Elvis) in seventh season.
|
|
|
|
Bebe Neuwirth:
|
|
Pregnant in character (Frederick) in seventh season.
|
|
|
|
Kirstie Alley:
|
|
Pregnant in real life during summer between eighth and ninth
|
|
seasons. The writers intended to write her pregnancy into
|
|
the plot (Who is the father? Sam or Robin?), but Kirstie
|
|
suffered a miscarriage and the plan was dropped.
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, another quasi-regular, Mandy Ingber (Annie Tortelli),
|
|
was pregnant in character, but we haven't yet learned what came of
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
7: In the episode where Sam tries to get away for a ski weekend with
|
|
his baseball buddies, Coach is trying to break his record for
|
|
breaking the fewest number of glasses in a month. But his hopes
|
|
are dashed when he slips on a banana peel when making a tropical
|
|
drink. [Snow Job]
|
|
|
|
8: When Sam destroys a priceless book that he was holding for Diane,
|
|
he purchases it outright. Diane confesses that seeing the
|
|
literate, sensitive side of Sam has stirred new feelings in her,
|
|
and the two kiss passionately. But when Diane mentions that she
|
|
expects $700 from Sam to pay for the book, Sam's demeanor changes:
|
|
`Hold me Sam. ... Sam, you're holding me a little tight. ...
|
|
Sam, I can't breathe.' [I'll Gladly Pay You Tuesday]
|
|
|
|
When Kelly realizes that Woody can't afford the pendant he bought
|
|
for her birthday, she gives it back. When she says that love is
|
|
more important than material things, they hug and she mentions
|
|
that this means she won't have to buy Woody a Ferrari for his
|
|
birthday. At which point, Woody's eyes open wide: `Woody,
|
|
you're holding me a little too tight. ... Woody?' [The Gift of
|
|
the Woodi]
|
|
|
|
Andy-Andy's realistic rendition of the strangulation scene
|
|
from `Othello' doesn't count. [Homicidal Ham]
|
|
|
|
|
|
CHAPTER 2: The Bar
|
|
|
|
9: The Bull and Finch Pub in Boston.
|
|
|
|
10: This was a trick question.
|
|
The sign at the start of the show says `1895', but the bar
|
|
was actually established in 1889. Carla chose `1895' for
|
|
numerological reasons. [The Stork Brings a Crane]
|
|
|
|
(Score one point for each year you mentioned, for a perfect score
|
|
of 2 points.)
|
|
|
|
11: Rebecca researched the bar's history for its 100th anniversary,
|
|
and discovered that it was a House of Ill Repute.
|
|
[The Stork Brings a Crane]
|
|
|
|
Diane dreamt that it was an old house with a wine cellar,
|
|
but that doesn't count since it was just a dream. [Diane's
|
|
Nightmare]
|
|
|
|
12: Officially 2am, though the actual closing time seems to be
|
|
rather flexible. [Never Love a Goalie (Part 1); Little Carla,
|
|
Happy at Last (Part 2); What's Up, Doc?]
|
|
|
|
13: The sign above the door reads `Maximum room capacity 75 persons'
|
|
(the `75' is handwritten).
|
|
|
|
It is very difficult to see this sign because of its location,
|
|
and the fact that even if you do see it, the camera is usually
|
|
so far away that you can't make out very much. Especially not
|
|
the `75' part.
|
|
|
|
14: Depends which episode you watch. It's usually a closet.
|
|
[Diane's Nightmare; Backseat Becky, Up Front]
|
|
|
|
But sometimes it's a staircase into the basement.
|
|
[Don't Paint Your Chickens]
|
|
(Diane also dreamed that it led to a hidden basement.)
|
|
[Diane's Nightmare]
|
|
|
|
We often see Sam or Woody carrying crates out of it, but that
|
|
doesn't indicate clearly whether it's a closet or a staircase.
|
|
[2 Good 2 Be 4 Real; Don't Paint Your Chickens]
|
|
|
|
15: Tuesday. [?]
|
|
|
|
16: Carla and Coach. (That's why you see them going home together.)

|
|
19: The bachelor party Cliff threw for Fitz, his future father-in-law,
|
|
ends when Fitz dies. [Money Dearest]
|
|
|
|
Sam's bachelor party ends when Diane (who was the girl in the
|
|
cake) throws the cake in Sam's face and marches off. [One
|
|
Last Fling]
|
|
|
|
Frasier's bachelor party ends when it turns out that the stripper
|
|
the boys hired is one of his patients. [To All the Girls I've
|
|
Loved Before]
|
|
|
|
20: You can turn the pool table into a ping-pong table,
|
|
Nok-hockey table, slot car track, or salad bar. [King of the Hill]
|
|
(Score 1 point for each thing.)
|
|
|
|
21: `This is a Square House.
|
|
Please Report any un-fairness [sic] to the proprietor.'
|
|
The quotation is embroidered on a sign hung on the wall next to
|
|
the corridor to the back room. You can read it if you know where
|
|
it is and the camera holds steady.
|
|
|
|
22: The sign at the base of the stairs says
|
|
``Melville's Fine Sea Food''.
|
|
|
|
23: We never see or hear Vic, the maitre d'. [Personal Business;
|
|
Coach in Love (Part 1); Diane Meets Mom; How to Win Friends and
|
|
Electrocute Yourself]
|
|
|
|
John Hill bought Melville's.
|
|
He had formal title to the back room and bathroom.
|
|
In addition to being generally obnoxious to Sam, he also
|
|
charged Sam a monthly rent for use of that part of the bar.
|
|
(He also has a ravishingly beautiful daughter.)
|
|
|
|
24: Gary's Olde Towne Tavern. Score only 1/2 point if you didn't
|
|
get the spelling correct. The correct spelling can be found on
|
|
the sign outside the tavern, and it was also on the television
|
|
advertisement for the tavern. [Bar Wars II: The Woodman Strikes

|
Joel Polis. [From Beer to Eternity; Bar Wars II: The Woodman

|
|
|
28: Al (played by Al Rosen) is the old guy. (Al Rosen died in 1990.)
|
|
Paul (Paul Willson) is the other fat guy. (Paul Willson's
|
|
character was once named Gregg and once Tim.)
|
|
|
|
29: Tom Babson (played by Tom Babson) defended Sam against assault
|
|
charges filed by Diane. [Chambers vs. Malone]
|
|
(Score 1/2 point if you just said `Tom'.)
|

|
|
30: Harry the Hat. (Score 1/2 point if you just said `Harry'.)
|
|
His real name is Harry Gittes and he is played by Harry Anderson.
|
|
[Pick a Con ... Any Con]
|
|
|
|
31: Norm, actually. In the 60's he got one of those mail-order
|
|
minister things. [Bar Bet]
|

32: Father Barry is played by Eric Christmas.

|
|
that Robin cheated on her. [Finally (Part 2)]

|
|
provided Sam stays away from his daughter. [Achilles Hill]

35: Sam loses a total of $1200 after destroying a priceless book
|
|
he was holding for Diane. [I'll Gladly Pay You Tuesday]
|
|
|
|
Sam loses $1000 after investing in Tan 'n Wash. [Tan 'n Wash]
|
|
|

upstage Diane. [Young Dr. Weinstein]
|

|
Norm takes advantage of Sam's birthday generosity for $683.

[Diane Meets Mom]

|
|
Belly Up]
|
|
|
|
130: He once maimed someone in a bowling accident. [From Beer to
|
|
Eternity] (Score 1/2 point if you said he killed someone.)
|
|
|
|
Here's the story, in Woody's own words:
|
|
|
|
I still don't know what happened, you know? One
|
|
minute I was picking up the 8-10 split, and the next
|
|
thing I know, the 10-pin flies and hits old Sulley
|
|
right between the eyes and he goes down like a sack of
|
|
wheat. Sam, I ruined a man's life.
|
|
|
|
Sam says, ``Oh, come on, I'm sure you're exaggerating.''
|
|
Woody continues:
|
|
|
|
Oh no, no I'm not. Old Sulley got too dim-witted to
|
|
stay in bowling maintenance. Last I heard, he was a
|
|
clown at children's birthday parties.
|
|
|
|
Sam asks, ``What's wrong with that?'' Woody answers:
|
|
|
|
He wasn't invited to them.

|
|
Those Lips, Those Ice]
|
|
|
|
134: Hester Crane is also a psychiatrist. [Diane Meets Mom]

Frederick's first word was `Norm!' [Breaking in is Hard to Do]

She majored in marketing. [Don't Paint Your Chickens]
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, she wears a UConn sweatshirt at the slumber party
|
|
she throws for Carla. [Slumber Party Massacred] Oh, and she also

|
|
[Sammy and the Professor]
|
|
|
|
147: Susan Howe is an actress in low-budget horror movies.
|
|
[Sisterly Love] (Score full credit if you just said she was an

reason). [Adventures in Housesitting]
|
|
|
|
150: Rebecca promised to have sex with Sam if she lit up another
|
|
cigarette. When Sam caught her smoking, she reluctantly agrees
|
|
to go back to her place. She comments, ``It's all right; I'll
|
|
just close my eyes and imagine someone appealing.''
|
|
[My Fair Clavin]
|
|
|
|
Sam pretends to be devastated after learning that he was promoted
|
|
just to be a ringer on the company softball team and tries to
|
|
take advantage of Rebecca's sympathy. Fed up with fending off his
|
|
advances, she goes completely limp and says emotionlessly, ``Take
|
|
me here. Take me now. Please. Please.'' [The Sam in the Grey
|
|
Flannel Suit]
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, she sort of drunkenly agreed to have sex with him,

Robin!)

|
|
|
157: William Devane and Lisa Eichhorn was the ``big name'' duo.

|
|
The other finalist was the duo of Fred Dryer and Julia Duffy.
|
|
Curiously, Fred Dryer and Julia Duffy have appeared as guest
|
|
stars on `Cheers' playing friends of Sam and Diane, respectively.
|
|
[Fred Dryer in Sam at Eleven; Old Flames; `I' on Sports]
|
|
[Julia Duffy in Any Friend of Diane's]
|
|
|
|
(Personally, I think Fred Dryer and Julia Duffy would've made
|
|
an interesting combination.)
|
|
|
|
158: It was the most uptight name she could think of.
|
|
|
|
159: Heide is Rhea's younger sister. Interestingly, Heide had no
|
|
writing experience when she started writing for Cheers. Although
|
|
James Burrows rejected her first story, he encouraged her to
|
|
keep trying and accepted her second story. Her early stories
|
|
center on Carla because she felt she could do a better job than
|
|
anybody else at writing for her sister.
|
|
|
|
160: John Ratzenberger created his own character. He came in for
|
|
a general audition and said, ``Hey, what if there's a bar regular
|
|
who's a know-it-all? This guy works for the government---he's
|
|
a mailman or something.'' They were so impressed that he was
|
|
promised six episode the first season and promotion to
|
|
co-star status the next season.
