14/14. I knew George Lindsey from his TZ episode before I ever knew him as Goober. I'll have to look up that Clint Howard movie, since I remember a tv ad for a horror movie where he played "the kid you picked on in school" but didn't remember that movie's name.

11 of 14. That works, seeing as how I was never a fan of the show.
