Archie worked in some sort of plant, on the loading dock.  But he moonlighted
as a cabdriver for Mr. Munson (how's that for trivia).

	I think you're talking about Good Times with John Amos and Esther
Rolle, a spin-off from Maude, and the show that made Jimmy "Dy-No-Mite!"
Walker a household name.

	And since no one else has posted it yet:

Those were the days

The lyrics for the theme of The Mary Tyler Moore Show were totally changed
after the first or second season.  It's odd how few people remember this:
it's not even mentioned in the book about the show, "Love is All Around".
I can't remember both sets of lyrics offhand, but I do have enough
episodes on tape to transcribe the two in a couple of days, if anyone
wants.  However, the first set of lyrics had lines like:

"How will you make it on your own?",
"This world is awfully big. . .",
"It's time you started living. . .",
It ended "You might just make it after all."

The second version included the more familiar lines:  

"Who can take a nothing day, and make it all seem worthwhile,
Well it's you girl and you should know it,
With each glance and every little movement you show it."
It ended "You're gonna make it after all."

Followup-To: rec.games.trivia
Organization: UC Davis Dept of Applied Science at LLNL

There has been some talk on these two newsgroups lately about TV
theme songs.  Few people seem to realize that the theme to The Mary
Tyler Moore Show had two versions.  Even the book about the show,
"Love is All Around", doesn't mention it.  The lyrics were almost totally
changed after the first season.  So here are both versions:

First season lyrics:

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big
And girl, this time you're all alone.
But it's time you started living,
It's time you let someone else do some giving.
Love is all around,
No need to waste it.
You can have the town,
Why don't you take it?
You might just make it after all.

Second through seventh season lyrics (these are, to me at least, much
more familiar):

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day,
And suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl and you should know it.
With each glance and every little movement you show it.
Love is all around,
No need to waste it.
You can have the town,
Why don't you take it?
You're gonna make it after all.

Massachusetts is a commonwealth.  I would guess that Kentucky was not
acceptable because "y" is clearly a vowel in "Kentucky".  Remember:
a,e,i,o,u, and sometimes y.

I agree with Rick Schubert and Erland Sommarskog:
I think quizzes to which the answers are posted are a bad idea.

I would also like to request that quiz posters identify on their
Subject line what sort of quiz they are posting.  This applies
*particularly* to lyrics quizzes or anything that does call for
posted answers, because they amount to a large fraction of the
newsgroup's articles.  I have no interest in song lyrics or TV
TV trivia, but I enjoy many of the other sorts of quizzes posted here.
There must be others who feel the opposite way.  If "Jean-Luc and
Beverly's weekly quiz #1701" simply becomes "Jean-Luc and Beverly's
weekly LYRICS quiz #1701", the interests of both groups of readers
are served.

I'll second that!

The "quizzes you can post to" is quite annoying.  It is not only the
answers that clutters the newsgroup, but the follow-ups on answers
with corrections when people post wrong answers, and the discussion
and supplements to the answers.  I think this newsgroup has
deteriorated after the "quizzes you can post to" started to
proliferate.

That show was "All in the Family" with Carrol (sp?) O'Connor playing Archie
Bunker and Rob Reiner (sp?) as Mike (or Meathead) who was the son-in-law.
Mike was married to Gloria played by Sally Struthers.

5.  the only element named after a state:  Californium (almost everybody
got this answer)

6.  the Shakespeare play that begins and ends with the same 7-letter word:
Measure for Measure (some people gave me titles with just one 7-letter word)

7.  and now for the question which seemed the most difficult, the only
2 states with no legalized gambling  (Utah and Alaska)

Not to mention the fact that Kentucky ends with two consonants and a vowel,

I must say that this question threw me.  I've lived in Georgia and North
Carolina, neither of which have any gambling that I know of.  The closest
that either of these come to it, that I can think of, is bingo.  Is this
