TV TRIVIA

[samhexum]

1. What actor or actress starred in an unsuccessful (but very funny) show that had the same name as two subsequent hit shows?

 

2. What actor or actress played a parent on a TV show, then on a later show played a parent to the sibling of an actor that had played their kid on the first show?

Coincidence or trolling?

 

I recently watched the episode of THE HOGAN FAMILY that introduced Sandy Duncan to the show. It was the first episode after Valerie Harper was fired and her character killed off.

 

Off all the cities to choose from, they had Duncan moving 'from Minneapolis' to help raise her brother's kids. Of course, Harper gained fame playing Rhoda on THE MARY TYLER MOORE show, which was set in Minneapolis.

 

In addition, Duncan's character was a guidance counselor. One of the other counselors was played by Ray Buktenica, who had played Brenda's boyfriend on RHODA (& I think dated Julie Kavner for a while).
