Trivia 3/10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Answer for 3/7: Okay, I have held off using this question, I thought it was too tough. But here it is, good luck! (Sending it on a Friday to give people more time, if they need it.) On the sitcom "Alice," Flo was replaced by Belle, who was then replaced by Jolene Hunnicut (played by Celia Weston). The Southern Jolene would occasionally mention a distant relative, who was a character on a different CBS show, running at the same time "Alice" was on the air. This character even appeared on "Alice" once, with another cast memeber from his show. Can you tell me the name of the character from the other show that Jolene was related to?
Jefferson Davis "Boss" Hogg, played by Sorrell Booke on CBS's "The Dukes of Hazzard." Deputy Enos Strait (played by Sonny Shroyer) accompanied Boss Hogg to Phoenix on the "Alice" episode called "Mel is Hogg-Tied" in October of 1983. 42 players answered correctly. (Guess it wasn't as hard as I thought!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
