True enough. Gotta love RV for usually just playing himself (on TV).

GREAT Quiz.

You could've included Robert Vaughn too (as Jim Darling) being Laura's former boyfriend.

Well as soon as the correct answer popped up on the ones I missed I thought, ‘Oh, yeah! I see it now!’ Too little, too late though. 4/11 😕

Okay, I admit it, I'm a sitcom reruns junkie, and that's probably the biggest reason I got 11 of 11.

You got 11 out of 11 - Way to put on a good show! Though there were others, I was hoping they would have had Don Diamond, Crazy Cat from F-Troop but it was the same episode as Bernie Kopell.
