I got 17 out of 17. The last one however, I had to think it through. Richard Sanders looked too old for Mork & Mindy in that picture and the question didn't seem to fit a possible plot story for Perfect Strangers. But I can see it on ALF...

Nailed it though I had to guess the last one as I do not remember that episode.

13/17 yikes and which is quite a surprise.

17/17 through the last one was an educated guess.

Many of the answers were obvious from the surrounding characters. I could kick myself for not recognizing Matlock (Andy Griffith) in question #16.

Rule of thumb...if you don't knw the answer and one of the choices is ALF, choose it.

13/17. Would have been 14/17, except I forgot the trick to taking a MeTV quiz: if "ALF" or "The Twilight Zone" is one of the choices, that's the answer...

Hesseman was on a lot of shows when I was a kid. As a member of the Committee comedy group on the Smothers Brothers show, as a counterpoint to Joe Friday on a face-off TV show on Dragnet, and as patient on the Bob Newhart show who gets rejected by the rest of his therapy group when he comes out as gay.
In the Dragnet episode, he's listed in the credits as "Don Sturdy."

He was very good in that Bob Newhart episode because he played the character as very ordinary. As for this quiz, I got #1 right because I know the episode, but I hadn't realized that was him playing the hot dog guy.
