Blondie (TV Series) The Quiz Show (1957) User Reviews

Dithers, once again, is a real jerk.

[planktonrules · 7/10 · 14 November 2019]

When the show begins, Dagwood overhears his son talking with his friends. The friends have fathers who are famous for one reason or another...but not Alexander Bumstead. Now Alexander is NOT ashamed and says he loves his dad...but Dagwood wants to make him proud. Soon he goes on TV on a quiz show to show off his incredible mathematics skills...and he's wildly successful. But after this one appearance, Mr. Dithers and Dagwood's annoying neighbor begin pressuring him...and Dagwood seems ready to crack. What's next?

This is a pretty good episode and it's nice to see Dagwood do well...but you really want to see him sock Dithers in the nose! Overall, enjoyable and worth seeing.

Dagwood, the quiz whiz

[JordanThomasHall · 5/10 · 6 November 2018]

Dagwood feels like a failure after overhearing Alexander talking with his friends of the heroic, important things their fathers have done. Blondie talks Dagwood into going on a quiz show with his unreal mathematical ability. "The Big Jackpot" host Randy Baker (Ty Perry) wants an eccentric type on his show and Dagwood walks in to fit the bill after confirming his ability to calculate any numbers in his head. Dagwood goes onto the show so nervous that he mixes up his personal details. He calms down to whiz through complicated math equations to reach the $20,000 question. Dagwood is given a week to think about whether he will take the $10,000 or risk it for $20,000. He finds pressure from those he knows to say things on his next appearance. Dagwood goes back on the show for the big question and to remember his friend's favors. It may come at an unexpected risk.
