How many of you chose ‘Season 1’ for the answer to question 2? Lol
4 out of 12.
12/12. Had to laugh at question #2. It asked if Chekov joined Star Trek in the 2nd or 3rd season, and then gave you Season 1 as one of the answers.
10/12 missed #6&10 forgot when Festus joined gunsmoke.

Wow! I didn't realize he had been on so many shows.
