* Saw Emmett on an Alfred Hitchcock episode a few days ago as a safe-cracker challenged to open a new burglar-proof safe! Great episode!

11 out of 11. Perfection.
Ken Berry, who was the star of MAYBERRY RFD for 3 years after TAGS ended, starred in a comedy western series on ABC called F TROOP in the 1960s. I think it ran for 2 or 3 years.
10/11. I missed #9. I always get those two mixed up. ( Stoner & Pike)
They look nothing alike.

I'm pretty sure the first pick is goober not gomer but quiz says it's gomer.Also metv keep the three stooges on.I spent my childhood watching them and I have no broken bones,head trauma and have both eyes still.Parents should raise their children and not rely on television to do it!
11/11 please remove the Three Stooges off MeTV, I heard some kinds are imitating the stooges behavior by the slapping, hitting, and poking and getting injured. It is not funny, hope MeTV reads this, anyone?
Seriously?????
do you not understand sarcasm?
