Does anyone here have any Family Ties trivia? I'm a huge trivia buff and i'm always interested in seeing how much, or how little I know about my favorite things. I Love this site, and there's alot to do here, but It would be cool if their was also a trivia section totally dedicated to tv, movie, and music trivia. Anyway does anyone here have any FT trivia?

How old was Alex (according to Alex) when he lost his virginity?

I'm just guessing and going by memory here so i'm probably wrong, but wasn't he 17 years, 10 months, and 8 days old? And I know it was a leap year

Wow! Good guess! See if you can guess this one: What did Skippy and Mallory wear to keep warm when they got locked in the Keatons' basement?

Wow I got it right? I haven't seen that episode in ages. I knew it was 17 years and 10 months but I wasn't 100 percent sure how many days old he was. But anyway in answer to your other question they were wearing chipmunk costumes that Steven and Elyse wore at some party. I can't believe I know all this. I know way too much about this show don't I? Anyway since you were nice enough to post up a couple trivia questions, I think I will ask a couple. According to Mallory what did the APK on Alex's shirt stand for, and according to Alex's cousin what did it stand for?

Bear costumes? I love that episode but I'm a tad bit rusty!

I think according to Alex's cousin, Marv Jr., the APK stood for A Perfect Kousin (cousin but marv spells it with a k).
I don't remember what Mallory said it stood for but maybe A Pompous ...somthing

That's right! That is what Alex's cousin said the APK stood for. And you are right about the first half of Mallory's definition. Does anyone know the second part?

According to Mallory it stood for A Pompous Klown. That was in the episode where Elyse, and Steven were having trouble finding time to spend together after Andy was born.

'Kay. Let's see who remembers this one: What did Alex buy for refreshments for Mallory's poetry reading group? And for the bonus: What was the name of the guy that Mallory was trying to impress in that group?

Brad Russ
12-25-2002, 02:19 AM
I know both answers but I think I will let somebody else try to get it. I kind of feel like i'm hogging all the answers up, and I want someone else to get in on it.

Alex buys Mallory poptarts for her poetry reading group. The guy Mallory tries to impress I think was named Colin Spenser.:D

Good job! A true blue F.T fan! Here's an easy one: How did Alex meet Ellen? And for the bonus: What was she doing when they met?

Winnie

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect answer. This one's a little tough, but I know you guys can handle it. What did Mallory wear for her first date with Nick; be specific.

The deaf boy in Andy's class was named Josh Richards. Is that right?:)

Ok, another question...
What was the name of the boy in Andy's class that couldn't hear?
You are right, but specifically, according to Mallory, she wore "authentic paratrooper jump pants" which promted Steven to reply, "I hope your shoot opens."

Joseph Gordon-Levitt guest starred in Episode #153. Father, Can You Spare A Dime? The episode appeared at the end of season 6. His character name is Dougie. I dont remember seeing his character either but I referred to the family ties episode guide at this website: http://www.sitcomsonline.com/familyties.html

FamilyTies8289

Elyse's maiden name was Donnelly. Her brother's name was Ned Donnelly. It was only mentioned in one episode that she had a sister and that episode was #128. The Visit. Her sister name is Michele. Elyse's mother name was Kate. I am not sure what the father's name was.:D

I just saw that episode last night and I did recognize him in it. He appeared for a nanosecond. The eyes are what made me know it was him.

I believe the girl Andy wrote the love letter to was named Marjorie. I'm not sure about the other girl who liked him, but my guess on her name is Lisa.

I have another trivia question. In the episode called The Fugitive where uncle Ned is accused of embezzling millions of dollars from the syn tram corporation, Alex takes Ned to the airport to fly him to another State. As Alex is talking to the guy who sells tickets he first tells him that his name is Alex Keaton. Then he changes it and says his name is Ned Donnely. What was the third and final name that Alex gave himself? And as a bonus what City did uncle Ned decide he wanted to fly to?

Jennifer wanted to turn it into a music room, Mallory wanted to turn it into a sewing room, and Alex wanted to keep it as a shrine to himself, with velvet ropes. Also Alex wanted each person to pay a buck a head to enter. Steven also wanted to use his room, but it was never revealed what for.

He called Jennifer monkey face, and he called Mallory, actually he sang to Mallory that she was a woman now. The first time he saw Mallory he said she was an uptown girl.

Yeah, I don't know how I remember all this stuff. I guess it's because everytime I'm bored, or depressed I watch this show. It always seems to make me feel better. Plus the fact that Iv'e been watching it from it's original run doesn't hurt either. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit, but I have probably seen the Uncle Ned episodes atleast 10 times each since the 80's. Probably more. I can almost recite the entire episodes by heart. Anyway I'll try to think of another trivia question, and I'll post it up later.
