Definitely don't know the answer to your bonus question.

Archie's Place
Name Beaver Cleaver's three best friends.
Lumpy, Eddie, and Fonzie. I'm not super sure about Fonzie.
"I won't kill for money, and I won't marry for it. Other than that, I'm open to just about anything."
-Jim Rockford
Lumpy and Eddie were Wally's friends, not the Beav's. So...no credit for you.
Sarah killed the game!
I know nothing about Leave it to Beaver except that his mom spoke jive.
Well, I know that Beaver goes too far back for some of the young 'uns around here, but I'm disappointed in Olive and Jim.
Here's a new one...
Name the hometowns of Hawkeye, Klinger, Radar, and Colonel Potter.
Hawkeye was Crabapple Cove in Maine
Klinger was of course Toledo Ohio
Radar was Otumawa(sp?) Iowa
Colonel Potter was from Missouri and I don't recall the town. I am sure of the first three though so maybe someone else can get this last.
Sorry Sarah, I never watched Leave it to Beaver much, I thought it was pretty awful even as a kid. Same with Father Knows Best and a lot of those generic family sitcoms from the 60s.
Orual already mentioned the very best thing about Leave it to Beaver.
I'll give it to you, Jim. Colonel Potter was from Hannibal.
Your turn to come up with a question.
Let's go more modern and try to get some younger folks into the game:
Name 3 recurring characters from Seinfeld (not the main 4)
Newman, Bania (spelling?), and Puddy.
Name the kids from Roseanne.
Darlene, Becky & DJ. There were of course 2 Becky's.
Name the brothers that were involved with the two daughters.
Becky, Darlene, and DJ (David Jacob)
Who played Rachel's mother on Friends?
Whoop, I'll answer Jim's question, and let mine stand for the next person.
Mark and David Healy.
Never mind.

Marlo Thomas.
Another Friends question: What put the "fun" in Fun Bobby?
Lots of booze.
Name Maxwell's kids from The Nanny.
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
Someone please answer this! I've never seen The Nanny.
I never watched it.![](images/smilies/confused0036.gif ":\")
I watched it but I don't remember the kids' names.
Sorry, guys!
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.
Maggie, Grace, Brighton, Eve and Jonah.
Nick at Night can be useful!
Damn right!
So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

I have to answer this one: Alan Brady was the character based on Sid Caesar from the time he and Mel Brooks were on the Show of Shows. Oddly it was Mel Brooks I was thinking of when I asked my question.

Funny, I don't remember Mel Brooks being on Mad About You!
