Not too shabby! Kudos to both of you. We have so far

#1 is Johnathan Higgins from Magnum, PI.
#3 is MacGyver. (Did he even have a first name?)
#5 is Natalie Green from Facts of Life.
#6 is Dukes of Hazzard, but it's not Roscoe.
#7 is a Smurf. Um, we didn't call him "Gay Smurf," Nora. LOL.
#8 is WKRP in Cincinatti but the character was not played by George Carlin.
#10 is Larry Dallas from Three's Company.

Looks like the odd numbers were easier than the even ones. Still looking for 2, 4, 9 and the correct character from 6, 7, 8. The car from Knight Rider was KITT, not Kip. You have Napoleon Dynamite on the brain!

Pink helicoptor: Riptide. Joe Penny and Perry King, pilots. Produced by that guy who did Magnum, The A-Team, and the Rockford Files. The two over the hill beach bums shot stuff (I think they carried AK-47s in the helicoptor) and had a nerdy sidekick who knew everything about computers.

This was, I believe, the first SUV.

And that's George Jefferson's mother, not Aunt Esther, you old beady-eyed fool!

PS, I think in the final episode they revealed McGuyver's first name was Cosmo.

I'm impressed some of you remember Riptide (1984-86).

Cosmo? Are sure you're not thinking of Kramer?

I'll post answers in a few days.

I just realized that I was supposed to participate in this trivia game..... I was so busy that week, I never had a chance to look. But I did play in the other trivia games.
