Welcome to my television show “supporting character” quiz.
You name the character (first OR last name) for ½ point, and the TV show the character was on for another ½ point. In many cases the character was on most episodes, they just weren't the main character on the show.

Note:  I am not looking for the actors/actress real name, just the supporting character’s name they played on the show.

You might recognize the face and say “but, this person was a guest star on so many shows”. Yes, they might have been, but each person here had a recurring role on a TV show (meaning they were in more than 1 episode of that TV show)  Hopefully the outfit they are wearing or the background also helps.  I haven't seen every TV show in the world, so I hope a few aren't confusing. These characters are only from American TV shows.

Yes, it's Nellie


#3 Wilson-Home Improvement
#4 Chuck & Bob-Soap

Yes, 3 for 3. Somehow I knew you'd get the Partridge Family one.


Nice :)

#16 Lori Beth -Happy Days
#18 Roz - Night Court
#20 Nellie- Little House on the Prairie


I can give you 2 for that, Henk already guessed "Nellie" a few posts earlier. So you have 1 more guess.


1 Wilona - Good Times
8 Tommy - Alice
28 Max - One Day at a Time


Yes, 3 for you. I didn't think "Max" would go that early.

Excellent!!

22 | Murray - The Odd Couple
24 | Remo Da Vinci - Mork and Mindy
27 | Laverne - Empty Nest

Yes, 3 for you. I didn't think "Max" would go that early.


I was surprised to see that in here.  Whenever I watch episodes of "Friends" and it says Directed by Michael Lembeck, I think of Max

Yes, it's Nellie

I guess reading other posts might help me. :-[
#26 Officer Carl Levitt - Barney Miller.

When I see Michael Lembeck, I think of "Kaptain Kool"  (70s thing)


Excellent!!

22 | Murray - The Odd Couple
24 | Remo Da Vinci - Mork and Mindy
27 | Laverne - Empty Nest


Yes, 3 for you. I adore Park Overall's southern accent. I have to listen hard to understand every word she says sometimes though  ;D


I guess reading other posts might help me. :-[

Yes, It's Levitt from Barney Miller.

#2 Larabee, Get Smart
#6 Eldin, Murphy Brown
#9 Sam (the butcher), Brady Bunch

#2 Larabee, Get Smart

3 for you. I thought #9 might confuse people because Allan Melvin was also part time on "All in the family", really around the same time. He was "Barney Hefner" there.

10. Sam from Quincy M. E.

17. Bewitched... uh...  Aunt Clara, I think.

11. I wanna say Scooter (or some cutesy name) from Family ties

19. Newman on Seinfeld

19. Newman on Seinfeld


Hello...Newman. Correct.

Yes, It's Tina. I think this was one of the harder ones in the quiz.




I was thinking that, too. I should have saved that one because I'm sure no one would have gotten it and gone for another one so when you lower the limit again... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes, it's Skippy.


25.  I think his name was Alan... he was a writer on the Dick Van Dyke show...I mean the show within the show on DVD


Good guess, but's it's not Alan. I think you are thinking of Alan Brady. That role was played by Carl Reiner on the show.

#25...Richard Deacon, but not sure what his name was on the show.

Yes, it's Skippy.

are you not giving Patty half credit for getting the Dick Van Dyke Show???


also I assume you won't take "Baldy" or "Curly" as answers  :D I know the answer but I cannot give it as the limit has not yet been raised.

And I can tell by the jacket this wasn't an image of Mr Rutherford from Leave it to Beaver but with Lumpy on the list it was nice to see father and son "together" again  ;)

Oh yes I will I had to leave right away this morning and things came up so I haven't had time yet. Will do it now..

You got the actor's name correctly. (but sorry you don't get points for that)


25.  I think his name was Alan... he was a writer on the Dick Van Dyke show...I mean the show within the show on DVD


You do get 1/2 point for the show, of course.

Phyllis' daughter Bess....  Thank you loki!


It's Bess! I would have accepted "Mary Tyler Moore" or "Phyllis" as the TV show for the character.
Thanks for completing the quiz, I will do another one like this soon.

Oddly enough Bess was my favorite character (after Rhoda) on MTM I don't know why I didn't recognize her. Guess cuz I haven't watched the show in about 6 yrs. gotta get on that

Rhoda was also my favorite character on MTM.  :)

From the photo Bess is still quite young so I'm guessing it was taken during MTM days.
