[debodun]

Do you know who these two American TV stars from the 1950s are?

 

[officerripley]

Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore?

 

[debodun]

No - try again.

 

[officerripley]

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz?

 

[debodun]

That would have been my guess if I didn't know, but that isn't it, either.

 

[debodun]

Hint - they are both men.

 

[officerripley]

Andy Griffiths and Don Knotts?

 

[Sassycakes]

The short one looks familiar,but I have no idea who they are.

 

[debodun]

Andy Griffiths and Don Knotts?

No. Keep trying. Remember the clue - 1950s. Also, the series in which this scene took place wasn't a comedy show and neither actor was known as a comedian.

 

[officerripley]

Okay, how about another clue, pretty please?

 

[debodun]

This scene was in a western.

 

[Sunny]

The short one looks like Joel Grey.

 

[debodun]

Not Joel. I thinking you'll be surprised to learn who they really are.

 

[officerripley]

James Arness and Dennis Weaver? Or wait, maybe Arness and Ken Curtis?

 

[debodun]

No to either. Hint - one is not Caucasian.

 

[officerripley]

Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore?

 

[debodun]

Yes, you got it, officerripley. The episode this scene was in is entitled "Wanted: The Lone Ranger".

Thanks, Debodun; fun quiz!
