I've been watching some of the Burnett shows recently that include the musical numbers. I'd forgotten that Vicki became a pretty good dancer.

5/14. Man, I DON'T know Vicki Lawrence! I do remember her #1 hit song. I did like her latest sitcom set in the retirement home - funny, especially the little guy 😂
7/1 4
I gotta tell you this and it's a shame. I mean I even went to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Lawrence. Read up on her and when I got done I still only knew close to 0 (-1). It even used Post-it® Super Sticky Notes on the inside of my arm and hand. For some reason none of my Sticky Notes matched up with the quiz . I looked upside down, front and backwards and nadda . Alas I only got 7 of 14. A whole heaping 50%. Yeah even with inside information . So Win, Lose or Draw she was certainly funny . What can I tell you .

It was my funny retort to Mr Digger1. He having others resort to such a thing. I was laughing all the time writing it in fun That's what it was for------a laugh
Yeah. You're telling me. I'm sorry I flunked
I had a laugh out loud reaction to your comment.
11/14.
After the talk show "Vicki!" went off the air, Fox had her on one of several attempts at a morning chat-and-feature show that started out as "Breakfast Time" on their fX side channel, then became "Fox After Breakfast" when it moved to the main network (and two hours later, thus the change of title). That was the beginning of the end as the show lost first its gang of roving reporters and one-by-one its anchors. Vicki was on of the last replacement co-hosts before taking over the show solo and riding it until its death soon after.
14/14! easy quiz.
9 for 14. Lots of guessing
