Some characters on TV shows are meant to be one- or two-episode guests and get such fan recognition that they become regulars (e.g., Cliff Claven on "Cheers"; Amy Fowler on "The Big Bang Theory"). This quiz is about the opposite case: a character is a regular for a season or so, but then just disappears. Sometimes, some meager explanation is given, but not always. We're just supposed to forget they were there. Name three of these to win the round: Name the child who was adopted by the Bundys in "Married with Children" but then disappeared. Name Richie Cunningham's older brother. ("Happy Days") Name Eric Forman's sister on "That '70s Show." For real experts, name Donna Pinciotti's sister on "That '70s Show." (She appeared in only one episode,) Name the oldest brother on "My Three Sons." He was in about half of the episodes. Name the oldest Cartwright brother ("Bonanza"). He was actually in about half of the episodes. If no one gets three, I'll toss in an EASY one. George

Normally, I would not allow two guesses; but this one has run a while. Adam-12 is correct. George

And you might be right. George

Well, there are only 120 permutations... (Didn't see either KB, so I'd only be guessing randomly). George

Commando Alyssa Milano Embrace of the Vampire George

"Now when he was a young man, He never thought he'd see People stand in line to see the boy king." George

My Brilliant Career The Final Conflict Dead Calm George

This show featured two policemen, badge numbers 744 and 2430. An actual police dispatcher provided the voice of the dispatcher on the show. She would lie on the floor in the back of the police car so that she could give "dispatches" in real time. One of the actors portrayed a policeman by the same character name on Dragnet!, a year prior to this show. In keeping with the reputation of the producer's series being scrupulously accurate about police procedures, selected episodes of this series were used in police academies as instructional films. The paramedics from Emergency! sometimes crossed paths with the cops at Rampart Hospital. (The LAPD station building where the show was based was the Rampart Division, northwest of downtown Los Angeles.) A "New" version of the show appeared in 1990 and ran two seasons. George

Still need more clues, Raf... George

"I'm an excellent driver." "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me!" "I'm walking here! I'm walking here!" George

WW is up. George

Name the actress: Marie Browning Vivian Rutledge Nora Temple George

Don't recognize it. George

Superman 3 Richard Pryor Stir Crazy George

Of course, there's Lynda Carter in "Sky High" remarking that she's "not Wonder Woman" and in a cameo appearance in "WW 1984" saying she's "been doing this for a long time." George

Hat tip to WW for pointing this one out to me when it appeared. In another Arrowverse crossover, one of the Legends (Sarah Lance, I think) mentions that a symptom of time travel can be aphasia. Felicity Smoak gets transported through time, and the first thing she says is "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra!" This, of course, was from the Next Generation episode "Darmok," about a species who communicate using allegorical references to their history/mythology. George

In Legends of Tomorrow, Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller) helps break the Atom (Brandon Routh) and Heat Wave (Dominic Purcell) out out of a Russian prison. Miller quips that this was "not my first prison break." The whole first season of "Prison Break" had Miller breaking his brother (Purcell) out of prison. George

In that episode, one of the American soldiers quips. "I wish we hadn't fragged Lt. Niedermeyer!" In Animal House, when the futures of the main characters are revealed, Niedermeyer is "Killed by his own troops in Vietnam." George

What were the other movies? George

OK. Karloff wasn't in it; but "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" did have Lugosi as Dracula and Chaney as the Wolfman. Different actor played the Monster. George

Not kidding. Not Buddy Holly. Bobby Darin. George

I think they might have reprised those roles, along with Boris Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster, in an Abbott and Costello film, also. George

Dracula (Lugosi) Vs. The Wolfman (Chaney) (?) George

I guess that was easy... You're up! George

This is one of the few foreign-language films released under its original title, not translated into English. Actors were kept indoors during the whole shooting to keep them untanned, as would be the case if the story were real. The film was shot in sequence so that beard growth was natural. A couple of scenes had to be re-shot, requiring false beards. George
