Can you tell the difference between these classic TV characters and their doppelgängers?

Can you recognize these evil twins, criminal lookalikes and identical classmates?

The German word “doppelgänger” refers to a person who looks very similar to someone they are not related to – an identical stranger. Though meeting your own doppelgänger in real life is relatively rare, you wouldn’t know that from watching television. All kinds of shows – westerns, sitcoms, dramas – all use the doppelgänger trope.

We’ve collected some classic TV doppelgängers and mixed them up with regular characters who just look a little different than usual. Can you identify who is who?

Watch The Brady Bunch on MeTV!

  1. Is this actually Captain Kirk or a lookalike alien?
  2. Is that Peter Brady on the left or someone else?
  3. That looks like Oliver Wendell Douglas from 'Green Acres' on the right, but is it?
  4. Is that Goober Pyle from 'The Andy Griffith Show' or someone who looks remarkably similar?
  5. Is that the real Festus Haggen or an identical outlaw?
  6. It's blonde Mary Tyler Moore! Is she playing Laura Petrie or a different character?
  7. Is this Wally from 'Leave it to Beaver' or a mustachioed double?
  8. Is this the original Jeannie or Jeannie II?
  9. Is this Fred Flintstone pretending to be a rockstar or a rockstar who looks like Fred Flintsone?
  10. Is this rifleman Lucas McCain or a criminal with similar features and a mustache?
  11. Is this Lucy Ricardo in disguise or a totally different character?
  12. Who is Raymond Burr playing here, Perry Mason or someone else?
  13. Continuing the facial hair trend, is this regular Spock in disguise or an alternate universe Spock?
  14. Is this Lorne Green as Ben Cartwright or someone else?
  15. Is this the Fonz with a beard or his identical cousin?
  16. Is this Greg Brady with different hair or a different character with the same face?
