Question 7 - Randy Boone, like Pat Boone and Richard Boone, are all kin to Daniel Boone.
Randy is mentioned by name in Hoyt Axton's most excellent song "Della & The Dealer"
which he sang on a memorable "WKRP In Cincinnati" episode.

I don't remember anyone on "Maverick" except for Jack Kelly and James Garner. Is that pre-BIg Valley Richard Long playing "Gentleman Jack Darby"? I just went through the huge cast list - wow, it's like a Who's Who of great TV character actors (plus some who went on to stardom:Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood and others) but couldn't find his name.
Yes that's Richard Long, he appeared on most all the Warner Brothers series, one
year he was a regular on 77 Sunset Strip and he outshone all the other regulars.
Well, except Kookie.

81% Didn't know much about Rawhide, The Virginian and Wagon Train. Big guesses on those.

93% not bad considering I didn't watch the Virginian
I did occasionally when it was first on, in the 60s. It was a 90 minute program.

58% I don't know most of those characters.
Me either 🤷♀️ Burt Reynolds is the only one I recognized for sure 😉
Lol same here!
Most of these shows, I've never watched, so it was just random picking. The only reason I wanted to take the survey was to vote for Dr. Loveless. Having said that, I'm surprised, under Bonanza, you didn't offer the choice of Hop Sing.
How could they not include Hop Sing?
