How well do you know the classic ''Walnut'' episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show?

You may need a big glass of air and all four eyes to get 12/12 on this quiz!

The Dick Van Dyke Show provided many classic TV moments over its five-season run. There’s the hilarious haunted house episode “The Ghost of A. Chantz” or the Western parody “The Gunslinger.”

11 out of 12. I love it when Laura tells Rob, " I have 20, 20, 20, 20 vision."

I'm amazed that I got even this good a score. I haven't really watched this episode very much, and most of the answers that I gave on this quiz were simply guesses, and yet many of them, with the exception of #'s 7 & 12, were the right ones. I suppose that I'm just lucky that way, you dig? LOL!
