10 of 12 missed the penis von lesbian question twice or dick van dyke in oldspeak
You got 10 out of 12
You had an eye for this quiz. Great job!
All guesses except for Teri Garr. I love that Star Trek Episode Assignment: Earth with Robert Lansing as Gary Seven and Teri as Seven's secretary Roberta Lincoln and last but NOT least Isis, Gary's "cat" (April Tatro as Isis in human form).
I also loved her on McCloud where she played Sgt. Phyllis Norton for 6 episodes.

10/12.
I got 10/12
and nakedcity would be a good addition,there severalmilliondifferent stories
missed one but i hated dragnet and adam 12 both jack webb shows and rarely watched either and still dont.bring back mr ed
I love Adam-12 and I hate Mr. Ed. Dragnet - can stay or go for all I care. their deliveries are grating.
11/12:)
11 for 12. MeTV guys, please consider running Naked City. One of the best written series of all time, filmed on location in early 1960's NYC. The number of future stars in it is amazing,
which(like Twilight Zone)is the hallmark of a superior series.
Come on fellas, get rid of utterly banal junk like Barnaby Jones. Up your game.

10/12. Only had to guess on 4.
I got 8 out of 12. Oh well better luck next time.to me, still love all these shows. Better than today shows.
Rod Serling wrote that Twilight Zone episode "The Night of the Meek" specifically because he wanted to see Art Carney play Santa Claus.
11/12
11/12. Not bad.
11 put of 12.. Woo Hoo! Finally!
10 out of 12 not to bad
12/12 Whew! Had to guess on quite a few, but guessed right.

You got 8 out of 12
In the words of Gimli, "Not the beard!" LOL

12/12! and comments: 6 was obvious since Mannix used the Brady house often and Reed made multiple appearances! 10 also featured William Schallert from Dobie Gillis & Patty Duke! Finally, 11 & 12 became MeTV promos, where the Waltons heard the TAGS theme and Carol Burnett watched herself get off a bus! BTW, I would argue that 12 shouldn't be in this quiz because that TZ had a laugh track!
I think #8 is wrong. That picture doesn't look like the actor who played Drysdale on the BH. What do you think? You're the expert around here 😉 Thanks!
It's him without his wig.
Milburn Drysdale in "The Case of the Taken Toupee".

9 out of 12. My Ace In The Hole isn't working to perfection lately . Well at least we can have some fun. Here we have Wolfman Jack doing his daily radio show. Usually starts off with a prank call which some are pretty dang funny. This is one of his short broadcasts when he did his daily Prank call to someone. He is dailing Shakey's Pizza wanting to know if they still had the Secret Agent Spy Scoops (say what, huh) of whatever. Kinda funny. Then you get a song to go along with it. At this time we all need a laugh or two to make it through our day.

👍 Good choice
