Friday Funday Trivia: Former Child Stars

Below are 3 montages containing grown up photos of former child stars. You have to correctly identify the child star. I'm going to be a little lenient on this quiz. If you are unable to come up with the performer's name, you can still earn half credit if you can at least identify one of their famous roles. For example, if I posted a photo of Eve Plumb and you couldn't recall her name, something along the lines of the following would be acceptable:

That's the lady who played Jan on The Brady Bunch

If you are a Friday Funday Trivia virgin about to be touched for the very first time, please read the following rules before playing:

* The game is pub style so looking up the answers, using friends/family for help, etc. is not allowed.

* Please do not post your answers in the comments section. Instead, send them to ultfan@gmail.com no later than tonight (8/26) at 11:59 PM EST. The answers will be posted on Saturday, August 27th.

Have fun, good luck and remember... never trust a big butt and a smile!

Answers To Friday Funday Trivia: 80s Sitcoms

Below the photo montage are the answers to this week's quiz. Although there were several good scores, only two players got a perfect score... Rich and Jon. Congratulations on knowing your 80s sitcoms! Thanks to everyone who played; stay tuned for next week's Friday Funday Trivia!

1.  The Facts of Life- 3 pts
2.  A Different World- 3 pts
3.  Mr. Belvedere-3 pts
4.  Kate & Allie- 4 pts
5.  Sledge Hammer!- 6 pts (this satire, whose lead character was a Dirty Harry-like cop, ran on ABC from 1986-1988)
6.  Alf- 3 pts
7.  Amen- 3 pts
8. Webster- 3 pts
9. Square Pegs- 4 pts
10. It Takes Two- 8 pts

This sitcom about a couple (Sam and Molly) trying to balance their careers with home life ran on ABC from 1982-1983. Although it starred veteran performers Richard Crenna, Patty Duke, and Billie Bird, the show is notable today because it featured future stars Anthony Edwards and Helen Hunt as Sam and Molly's teenaged kids Andy and Lisa. Apparently Anthony and Helen formed a familial bond while working on the show because according to imdb.com, they celebrate every Thanksgiving together. Below is a clip from It Takes Two in which Lisa helps Andy get ready for his audition with the punk rock group the Scumtones!
