I got 19. The only one I missed was the first, and I used to watch the Lone Ranger. I know Paladin left his calling card, but the Lone Ranger...eek.

At least I knew Clem Cadiddlehopper (sp)

Hmmm....maybe Clem was a different character. Let me keep thinking about this one.

I think Frank was looking for Freddie the Freeloader. Clem was kind of a country bumpkin. So I got 18.

I'm 38, very much a child of the 80s, and I got 19/20.

16 was the only one that completely stumped me.

The rest were well covered by TV reruns and oldies stations on the radio. Though someone 10 years younger than me, with the same resources would likely not get most of them, as most of those shows are no longer being aired in reruns (Nick-At-Night has showing stuff from the 70s & 80s now) and many oldies radio stations have gone the way of classic rock, basically no longer playing anything earlier than 1964.

In a lot of ways, TV and radio were a lot more diverse in the 80s and early 90s than they are today after all the consolidation.

My mind is also something of a steel trap for useless trivia. But don't ask me to remember where I last saw my hammer or measuring tape, or the name of that person I just met 10 minutes ago.

#s 10, 16 & 20 stumped me.

So I guess I'm 17 for 20.

Only 47, but now I feel old.

Thanks Frank!!

They say you should learn something new every day. Maybe tomorrow I should learn what the letters AARP stand for.

Here is bonus question #21:

Arnold Stang was regularly featured in a TV commercial in the 1960's, taking a bite of candy and uttering what six word phrase?

Barry, you are a "geezer", if you know the answer to this one.

And who other than geezers gets up this early in the morning to post on a chat board?

55....19/20 missed 16.


Who played a fellow vagabond on the "Freddie the Freeloader's Christmas Dinner" ? (Hint: He "voiced" the Invisible Man in the rowboat at the end of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein)

LMFAO!

I'm 43, and I got 16.5 right.

I didn't know the following:

7. Nestle's thing, thought it was cookies. Too many Nestle's cookies as a kid, I guess.
10. I knew the God Bless part, but did not know the Hobo's name.
16. I had no idea
20. I had no idea

If 1 is a Silver Bullet, I got 18.5. I'm sure I'd have thought of Skelton's character if I took a few minutes, and I don't know Nestle's. I'm 45.

Nestles makes the very best....Chocolate!

The line was delivered by a puppet named Farfel, who clicked his teeth loudly after the last word.

With answers appearing in the thread, the validity of future scores is compromised. Therefore it appears that FredYoung alone can claim the title as

"Net54 Geezer"

Well deserved and although he remembered all the answers, it is doubtful that he will remember what he won.

I'm still not sure about the first part of #10 Frank.

We both said Clem Kadiddlehopper, but I think they may be looking for Freddie the Freeloader. What do others think?

I assumed #10 was Freddie the Freeloader because there were three "blanks" in the question and because I thought Clem was more of a rube than a hobo.

I did NOT recall the Arnold Stang slogan, but I do now! (After looking it up!)

As a couple have said, Freddie was the hobo & Clem was the country hick--I also chose Freddie because of the 3 spaces or I would have said Clem 1st!

--and Frank, I DO remember that the prize was a choice of any 10 cards from your collection! I am anxiously awaiting your list!

No -- I should have used the as my personal attempt at humor gone sour

I watched HoDo when I was growing up in NY and after we moved to L.A watched the Beatles on EdSu. A couple of years later, on a quite hot summer evening, the family went out for a drive with the top down and happened to pass by The Hollywood Bowl. The Beatles were performing: if you ever thought A Hard Days Night was fabrication...WHOA! It took us forever to get through the traffic. True Beatlemania.

I was trying to be funny too Paul. I didn't think anyone actually thought the Beatles were on Howdy Doody.

The Hollywood Bowl concert was one of their more famous American shows. There are clips of it on Youtube.

The Beatles didn't but they did have to keep an eye out for the Termites.

I know you were, Barry. I'm still waiting for someone to design my customized geezer icon.

What is Youtube?

Sometimes joking but always playful.

That was a great clip. I'd never seen it. Thank you!

You need to do a 70's version for those of us who were born in the late 60's.
