“Let’s play a game!!!”
Okay, why is the title in quotes? Because it’s a quote, silly. Ah, but from whom?
Question: What’s Phillip’s favorite TV show?
Answer: The Dick Van Dyke Show.
Easy question, right? Well. Let’s try something a little harder. There are a handful of other DVD aficionados out there who read this blog regularly. Some are family, some might as well be. So, let’s have a little quiz.
This is how it will work: There are ten lines below. You tell me who said the line and to whom and what the episode was in which it appeared. Sounds easy, huh? I warn you, this is not for beginners.
Rules:
Do your own work. No pairing up.
No referring to the tapes or DVDs.
Scoring:
There are 20 items, each worth 5 points. You get 5 points for identifying the episode and 5 points for identifying the person who delivered the line and to whom….don’t forget that part.
Here’s the grading system:
80-100....Honorary Cast Member
60-80......New Rochelle Resident
40-60......You’re no Eleanor Roosevelt
20-40......Dummy McGee
0-20........Bupkis
Good Luck!
#1 Why, once I shook so hard, I emulsified xylene and hexal alcohol! And you know they don’t mix.
#2 You look like you slept in a box of prunes.
#3 Well, if he lived in the city like any normal kid, he’d be attacked by a nice street gang.
#4 Yeah, I can run back here and blow my nose, I guess.
#5 You might find another Monroe Deifendorf.
#6 You know what’s wrong with bucket seats? Everybody’s got a different size bucket.
#7 Music’s the same, costumes are the same, after a while you forget they’re monkeys
#8 Can you double stitch? Can you make hoops? I’m the only one who ever made Peter Pan fly, without showing an inch of under garment.
#9 You are in charge of his mouth. If he opens it, stick a buttered roll in it.
#10 How can I have a romantic weekend when I know I’m a lousy kisser?
Extra Credit:
5 points each for a brief explanation of the following:
1. Dummy McGee
2. You’re no Eleanor Roosevelt
3. “Let’s play a game!!!”
I’ll give each of you your scores as a comment when you comment on the blog with your answers.

OK, Phillip...here goes. This is off the top of my head. You know I haven't watched Dick Van Dyke as much as you or "those who might as well be" family.
1.Sally's date to Rob
2.Buddy to Ro. He had slept in his clothes in case They had to go to the hospital for Laura to have the baby.
3.Buddy to Rob
4. Rob to Laura when he thought he was allergi to her but it was really the kitten Richie had hidden in their garage.
5.Buddy to Sally
6. Buddy to Rob and Sally
7. Rob to Laura about a TV show
8. Buck Brown to Rob when Rob was a ghost writer
9. Sally to Rob about Buddy
10.Rob to Laura
EC-Let's play a game-the game was charades. Rob was sick, collapsed because he didn't want to tell Laura lest she think he was trying to get out of the party.
Well, that's all I can come up with.

Dummy McGee is Mel’s dummy when Mel shows off his ventriloquism skills. He drinks water (swallows) and then talks in Too Many Stars. Rob’s line Do we have a part for a ventriloquist? Buddy retorts No but we have a part for a dummy!
You’re no Eleanor Roosevelt – Rob to Jerry in All About Eavesdropping. (Actually he makes a side comment to Laura.)
Let’s Play A Game is Millie to Jerry, Rob, Laura, Buddy, and Sally as she’s attempting to revive a dying party in All About Eavesdropping.

okay, i'll weigh in:
#1. sally's date. a cousin of laura-the-matchmaker's. who laura describes as a "live one" and rob says, "well, he's alive."
#2. rob shows up to work in an EXTREMELY wrinkled suit because he slept in it thinking he may have to go to the hospital with laura to have the baby. sally makes this comment when he gets to work.
#3.
#4. rob, in the best episode ever, is getting ready to go to a party at jerry and millie's. he asks laura to get him a handkercheif and she, not listening to him, says, "we're only going next door."
#5.
#6.
#7. rob and laura watching television....
#8. vito the tailor! rob ends up posing as alan's tailor because alan won't admit he's hired rob "to punch up" a script. and vito is offended at rob's presence.
#9. sounds like sally
#10.
extra credit:
1. dummy mcgee is mel's dummy! he moonlights in ventriliquism. "do we have a part for a ventriliquist?" (r to b) "no, but we have a part for a dummy" (b to r)
2. from the best episode ever, all about eavesdropping.
rob and laura overhear jerry and millie talking in their home. the actual quote is, "rob's no eleanor roosevelt."
or, at the end when rob and jerry have made up, rob says sheepishly, "i'm no eleanor roosevelt?"
3. same fabulous episode. millie exclaims this while jumping up. she is trying, as everyone has, to lighten the exteremly heavy mood rob and laura have brought with them to the party. laura later retorts, "i've never ruined a party in my life, jerry!"
sorry about the ones i missed, elias would do better. but i didn't cheat and look at the other responses first, which may have helped me out!!

ah! i almost cheated by looking at other people's answers!
whew, those quotes are obscure ones for me. i need to brush up. let's see how i can do. i can get the extra credit ones as easily as buddy can make a joke out of any word:
Dummy McGee: A ventriloquist dummy in Mel's likeness. Mel has been working on a little ventriloquism...his lips move less than they used to.
"Let's play a game!!!" said by Millie on the same episode as "You're no Eleanor Roosevelt" (All About Eavesdropping) as she tried to liven up the party a bit. (They played Charades)
"Bupkis" = "nothing" -- the song Rob wrote the lyrics to and some guy stole them and another guy's music and aired it. Rob was quite upset.
"New Rochelle" the city the Petries live in.
some of these are wild guesses but i'm not telling you which in case i get it right! :)
1) some old man says it to rob and laura in that episode where they go to that place and the old guy thinks he's really funny.
2) Buddy says it to Rob. episode: "Where do babies come from" (not sure if that's the correct title but it's the one where Rob tells Richie about when Laura was pregnant)
3) Buddy says it to sally and rob in that episode where they're writing that script.
4) Rob says it to Laura when she washes all his handkerchiefs in that episode where he says "yeah, i can run back here and blow my nose, i guess."
5) "Who's Monroe Deifendorf?" ...ack, it's either buddy or sally says it to rob and buddy or sally. in i don't know what episode.
6) rob says it to laura in the episode where she's mad at him for paying the bill and they're driving home in the car talking about it.
7) sally says it to rob and buddy about some famous remake of a movie where the actors are replaced by monkeys
8) i can vaguely picture it. that's about it.
9) Rob says it to Sally (regarding Buddy) in the episode where Mel gets fired by Allen Brady (they're in a restaurant.)
10) Rob says it to Laura in...gosh its either "Never Bathe on a Saturday" or the one where he's in that movie with that french lady. rats.
