Can you spell these easy names of Sixties TV characters?

Everybody knows these characters… or do they?

 

Spelling bees are hard. In recent years, the brilliant kids at the Scripps National Spelling Bee championships have had to spell words like erysipelaskoinoniastichomythia and gesellschaft.

Why can't they lob them some softballs like "Gilligan"? Why can't they just spell the names of Sixties TV characters?

It might be hard for a middle-schooler, but MeTV fans should know these characters like the back of their hands.

So — can you spell their names? Easy, right? Right?

Missed #2 and #6
Missed #6, because I didn't pay attention.
Missed #2, ON PURPOSE.
When will the insanity, stop!
No self respecting woman, named Beatrice, would call herself, or write "BEE" as her name.
She would call herself, and write her shortened name, as "BEA".
This is one of the reasons, I never watched the program, and do damned few of "The Andy Griffith Show" quizzes.
MeTV says I got 14/15.
I got 14/16.

Francis Bavier who played Aunt Bee actually signed her real name on autographs and added Aunt Bea as well. She knew how it was supposed to be spelled but the AGS writers had it spelled Bee instead. Learned that from an AGS podcast.

Never noticed that names weren’t in credits after first season of Dick Van Dyke Show. Funny watched them all countless times too. Guess I was too busy waiting to see if “Rob” was going to trip over the ottoman or avoid it. 😝

Actually, "Hamilton Burger" was spelled "Berger" in the early novels. Erle Stanley Gardner later changed it to "Burger." New printings of older novels have changed it to the new spelling.

Burger goes so much better with a little Ham before it!

It's Aunt "Bea" not "Bee!" Her full name was Beatrice, Bea for short. MeTV got that one wrong! Also, Laura Petrie, not Laurie.

So, the Star Trek nerd misspelled 'Chekov'. Scottie, beam me to the planet of eternal shame!

I believe it was spelled "Scotty."
