9/10 Missed the first house to appear. But (and I know veterans will know this) how many recognize Pearl from a hotel that the Hooterville Cannonball serviced?

Well, who of us doesn't know Bea Benaderet? You might as well say she looks like Gracie Allen's friend and sounds like Betty Rubble...LOL!

Do you know how many years MeTV has had these quizzes? Not a quiz question, just asking a question

The part I remember best is when Jed is having a talk with Elly. He looks at her and says "Nature made you a girl. And lately, she's been getting more and more positive about it!" LOL!

Bonus Question: According to Granny, what "strange type" of dollars were offered to Jed by the oil company?
frenchman71 cperrynaples 8 months ago
"Million" dollars.

I believe Pearl ask how much. Eventually tells her is some new dollar. Granny responds Million... dollars.
Peal exclaims "You're a millionaire!" Yea, that's what Brewster said... I ain't sure how to take that.
