Rather than do the whole quiz, I just want to comment that #3 is *not* to be confused with the catchphrase "trust me; I know what I'm doing" from "Sledge Hammer". My stepfather and I used to argue about those two back in the day.

The two youngest Partridge kids shared a catchphrase that was pretty much their entire dialogue contribution to the series. Whenever Shirley or Reuben would mention someone like Benny Goodman or Frank Sinatra, they'd look at each other and in perfect unison say "Who?"
A little sparse to include in the quiz, I'll admit.

10/10 - #9 was actually made famous by Charlie Brown in Peanuts.
I got 8 0f 10
'...If you've got a knick-knack with a knick in it, it will knock the knick right out of the knick-knack with
Brighto.' This is not a catchphrase(obviously), but a great phrase nonetheless. Do any of you know what show this quote is from? Please leave your answers below.

The Three Stooges! They had some funny catchphrases too which tend to get lost amongst the great physical comedy that they did.
Bingo! This phrase is my Mom's favorite, she loves to say it. They really could start making Three Stooges quizzes.

Dang, gomer's grandma!

Missed #9 . I thought the Skipper might have said that. Slap me on the head with your Skipper hat. ⚓
10/10. Easy peasy for ole Elmer.
"Shhh. I'm hunting the wabbit."
Come on down . (The Price is Right)
"Welcome back to The Price is Right! Here's your host, Drew Caareeyyyy!" An absolute favorite show!!!
Or "Welcome back to The Price is Right! Here's your host, Bob Barrkeeerrrrr!" if you're a fan of the older episodes!
Hi Mama May
Question: Who here agrees that MeTV could start doing Three Stooges quizzes?
10 of 10.
There were two shows that ran pretty much concurrently when I was a kid that were known as catchphrase factories: one was Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In which had the advantage of being built up out of unrelated sketches so just about any random utterance could become a catchphrase ("sock it to me", "beautiful downtown Burbank", "ve-ery interesting", "by Henry Gibson", "you bet your sweet bippy", "is that a chicken joke?", "say goodnight, Dick", "the fabulous Farkel family", and so on).
The other show was Get Smart, which had the handicap of having to fit potential catchphrases into the context of an actual plot. Nonetheless, they managed to gift posterity with "sorry about that, Chief", "and... loving it", "missed it by that much", "would you believe?", "All but the last part -- the part after 'now listen carefully'", and "that's the second biggest [whatever] I've ever seen?".

I haven't thought about Laugh In in a thousand years. But when I read the catch phrases that you recalled from the show, I could hear them in my head as if I just heard them yesterday. Same with Get Smart.
The one Laugh-In catchphrase I always liked, because they limited it to once per episode, was "I wonder if you'd mind if I said something my aunt once said".
Pretty easy. But then again, if nobody knew a saying, it wouldn't be a catchphrase, would it?
Exactulioso!
9/10 Missed one. Good grief!

Wrong METV.
The Skipper did use the phrase "Good Grief" on Gilligan's Island.
An unsuccessful catchphrase is still a catchphrase.

A catchphrase is something you hear more than once or twice
