Part V: House Connections
House has featured guest stars who are famous (or not so famous) for other roles in television, film, and Broadway stage. I've only given you the clues. You provide the names.
56. WKRP in Cincinnati

59. St. Elsewhere
60. 24
61. Heroes
62. Full Metal Jacket
63. X-Files
64. Cabaret
65. Pippin
Part VI: Props
House surrounds himself with lots of objets d'art as well as useful items. They're practically part of the character. Can you tell what these are based on the clues?
66. Red, sweet, sticky
67. Keeps him “warm and cool.”
68. Has a “ginormous scratch”
69. Big, round, red and white
70. Good for grinding your own medications and for smashing your hands
71. Chick Webb
72. He has two by Sota
73. One has flames; one is silver-tipped
74. Pool hall oracle
Part VII: Patient Care
There have been a lot of memorable patients treated at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital over the years. Can you name these?
75. House risked his license to get her a transplant
76. She wrote House love letters
77. Just one word for her: jelly
78. Chase chastely kissed her
79. She had a “tattoo of a skunk” on her shoulder
80. House “ate the berries” to help this young patient
81. House couldn’t “kill her dream”
82. Road trip and a hoagie
Scoring (thanks to my friends at the Hugh Laurie: Too Handsome For Paperwork forum for help with the scoring designations):
More than 75 points: You are “All In.” You probably know this show better than David Shore.
60-75: “Role Model” (for other fans).
50-59: You have “The Right Stuff” but perhaps you need to watch your DVD collection one more time
40-49: You “Need to Know” more about the show to be a true fanatic
Less than 40 points. Alas you are “Clueless” about House. You are probably a "newbie." Keep watching and take this quiz again in a few months.
Answers will appear in this space next week.

This was hard but I'm not going to stop until I get all the answers. Are you sure you are not David Shore?
2 - Brenda Culver
Hey, thanks for that great quiz!
I scored about a 76 without even thinking too hard. Do I have a problem? Am I a House addict?
3 - Barbara Barnett
Hey, Sdemar -- You know I'm not Shore ;) Keep working at it, you'll get them all.
Brenda, glad you did well--I was thinking I may have made this too hard. I'm not sure I'm the person you should ask about whether you're addicted. I got them all right (of course I wrote it, but...). But in answer to your question--It's a goooood addiction :)
4 - sdemar
Barbara, I'm just razzing with you because I'm a tease:) I think it's an awesome test and I love it. Yes, I plan to finish. I just need to pull out by boxes of the DVD's for a little assistance.
Brenda, congrats. House Addict? Can't think of a better addiction to have.

Nice one Barbara! I was doing OK until I got to the House Connections section, fell down a bit there :/
But overall I think I got enough for the 60-75 group. Guess I'll find out for sure when you post all the answers :)
7 - Barbara Barnett
The House Connections are definitely hard. IMDB is probably a good place to start if you want to get all of them (although I didn't use IMDB to write the questions) :)
Good score Tourmaline!
8 - Ann
Wow! I love trivia. I'm afraid I'm "All In." But, as you say, it's a good addiction. Congrats, too! In case you haven't heard yet, there is a link to your quiz on the Fox House main page.
9 - Barbara Barnett
Hey, Ann--All In is good, too. Thanks for the congrats. I'm really excited that TPTB have linked to this.

12 - blairm.
Ahh, looking over this quiz for the second time seeing if sleep could have jogged my memory, I thought of a good question for this
Q: What is House's ringtone
A: "What A Man" Linda Lyndell.
However, that may be fairly obvious. I guess it depends on your addiction level ;].
13 - Barbara Barnett
I've posted the answers right here: House Trivia Quiz: The Answers. Enjoy!

I don't know if anybody mentioned this yet, but the answer I came up with for question #65 (guest star who was in Pippin) was William Katt, the actor who played the father of Boyd in House Vs. God. He was the guy who played Pippin on the filmed version with Ben Vereen, Martha Raye, and Chita Rivera.
15 - Barbara Barnett
Hi Laura,
I didn't know that William Katt starred in the film version of Pippin. I remember him from "Greatest American Hero." Cool. So House has dealt with the Broadway AND film Pippins.
16 - mac
Those were not personal nor were they attacks They glaring mistakes in the story line.
I'm sorry I brothered you

Mac--Not sure what you are referring to??????

18 - Bev
A wee nitpick about 62 -- R. Lee Ermey's characters in "House" and "Full Metal Jacket" were not in different branches of the service; they were both in the Marines. I remember him as the sarge in "FMJ" at the end of boot camp telling the recruits, "Today, you people are no longer maggots. Today, you are Marines!" (And I still got the answer wrong because I was thinking all the questions referred to actors who played *patients.*)
Still confused about 74; the original question was "Pool hall oracle," but the answer was "no pickles"? Was 74 a different question on the Fox site's version of the quiz?
No matter. I had fun with this -- and scored higher than I expected!
19 - guess
these questions were harder than i thought they would be. I've been watching HOUSE from the beginning and it was still hard.
20 - cluressaferd
How much is each question worth? I dont know what my score is.
21 - Barbara Barnett
Hi Bev...I made an error when I put the answer key up on those two questions. I forgot that I changed them, and when I went back to do the answers I inadvertently used the originals (oops). Of course the pool hall oracle is House's magic 8 ball. "No pickles was actually the original question (answer=Reuben sandwich).
Yup. Both were marines. John was a flyer (that's what I meant) and in Full Metal he was a drill Sergeant (I think).
Guess--sorry. It was intended to be hard (with some easy questions thrown in. I guess it's a matter of obsessional degree.)
cluresaferd--questions are one point each.
Thanks for playing!

22 - Nathan
LoL, I scored an 80 without even thinking lol i think i am a addict
23 - Barbara Barnett
Nathan--Join the club! Looking forward to some new episodes.
BTW--I will post my second season episode guide in the next couple of days.
24 - Miri
I've had the hardest time coming up with episode names. I keep thinking, "Oh, I know that, the one with the woman who has rabies," and then sweatin' the name for ten minutes. I will get through!
Hint on the musical instruments: he plays all but one on the series "Jeeves and Wooster." Hugh Laurie fans should see that series and the series "Blackadder." Which are both on House's TiVo, as we get a glimpse of it at one point while Wilson's living there.
Great quiz, most knowledgeable fan. Tiding me over until new episodes.
Congrats on the FOX link.
25 - Barbara Barnett
Hi Miri. So glad you've been enjoying the quiz. It was fun to write, and surely not my last!
Thanks for the note about the fox link. The folks over at the official site were very kind in pointing people to the quiz from the House page.
