The tone of my blog will take a bit of a turn with this posting, I realize. I just got off the phone with my brother Erik. He called me with some very exciting news. No, it was not that I am going to be an uncle again. Next to that though, it might be the most exciting thing. He wanted to inform me of tomorrow's release of season one of Family Ties on DVD. I can't honestly say that if the show were out now I would be a fan. I sure did love it in the 80's though. We have been waiting for this release for a long time. We have on may occasions drive our wives and Jeff Mcmullen crazy with our discussions about this show. In honor of this momentous occasion, I am offering for your enjoyment a Family Ties trivia quiz. Enjoy. I would imagine no one but Erik and I will.

score for emmyzdaddy
5/10
when you factor in 10 pts for the extra credit and 20 for the super duper bonus, that gives you an 80. Not bad, but I expected more. Correct answers
2. Memminger
3. Uncle Ned (Uncle Rob was Stephen Keaton's brother, his marriage fell apart)
5. swinging corporate raiders
9. Berkley
10. Mr. Adler
Although he didn't submit it as a comment, I want to give credit to Shaun Stiemsman who got a 10 (he got number 6 right).
you caught me on a bad day, but I won't take this defeat lying down. I challenge Shaun to an 80's sitcom trivia challenge any day of the week. But I'd like to warn him - I watched A LOT of tv in the 80s. A LOT.
i will not give in and answer these questions!!!
come on jlm. I want to know what your score would be.
I need to update Stiemsma's score to a 15 as the pointed out that he knew that Uncle Ned had struggled with alcoholism.
this is getting complicated. Stiemsma now insists that he knew Steve and Elise K. attended Berkley. The chair recognizes this accomplishment and officially awards him a 25.
