Even though I knew it, I'd say that Brady Bunch question is a little undervalued. AFAIK, that's not a very common trivia item regarding the Brady Bunch, and I would probably rank it a 7 on a Brady Bunch trivia scale (1 being "The Brady's didn't have a toilet" and 10 being "What was Carol's maiden name?")

[drew scheeler]

The Brady Bunch would have made a much better 25K question; it goes along well with the recent string of trash there.

[silverscreenselect]

1 being "The Brady's didn't have a toilet"

No wonder Mike left the show.

On a serious note, I'd heard about this and about how Robert Reed in general was very bitter about winding up on the show. He felt it essentially destroyed his career. Of course, it might have been different had Gene Hackman gotten the role.

A. Jump in the mouth ( 18 )

Hmmm...I know that "bocca" is "mouth" but is that enough to go with A, or could it be D ("tongue" equated with "mouth")? Might as well DD.

I guessed the right answer from my recliner. In the HS it would be time for a lifeline. PAF and hope it's easily Googlable.

I've never heard of this dish, but I know that "boca" means "mouth" in Spanish, so I got it right anyway. I'm not surprised that "dancing tongue" got a strong second from the audience, but I am a bit surprised that the votes between A and D weren't almost identical. D was aan evil distractor.

No freakin' clue. ATA.
