Answer: Uncle Fester

Jackie Coogan played Uncle Fester in the tv series that debuted in 1964.

Initially, Jackie Coogan did not get the part of Uncle Fester; however, after he shaved his head and put on makeup, they gave it to him.

Uncle Fester is recognized by his bald head. He had the ability to conduct electricity and light up a lightbulb by putting it in his mouth. In this tv series, he is Morticia Addams' uncle, and therefore he is not an Addams but lives with them and is a part of the family.

Answer: Helen Crump

"The Andy Griffith Show" debuted in 1960. Helen Crump is played by Aneta Corsaut starting in 1963 with the episode entitled "Andy Discovers America." Mrs. Crump is Opie's (Ronny Howard, the famous director now known as Ron Howard) teacher. Mrs. Crump is angry when Opie tells her that Andy (Andy Griffith) said history didn't matter. Andy clarifies and shows his son how exciting history is in Andy Taylor style.

Andy tells Opie and the other boys about "the shot that was heard around the world." The boys are so excited they all go home and read their history books.

Andy later dates Helen, and they get married in the spin-off series, "Mayberry R.F.D."

Answer: Gladys Kravitz

"Bewitched" debuted in 1964.

Gladys Kravitz was the nosy next-door neighbor of Samantha (Elizabeth Montgomery) and Darrin (Dick York until 1969 and then Dick Sargent) Stephens. Gladys believes there is something odd about the Stephens' house, and of course, she is correct, as Samantha is a witch and often uses magic (against Darrin's wishes). However, Gladys never has proof. Her husband Abner (George Tobias) thought she was crazy.

Alice Pearce played Gladys Kravitz from 1964-1966. She had already been diagnosed with ovarian cancer before the show started, but she wanted the part, so she didn't say anything when she auditioned for the role.

For the rest of the run, Gladys was played by Sandra Gould.

Despite living on a farm, both she and her husband always dress in city clothing wearing dresses and suits.

Answer: Tony Nelson

"I Dream of Jeannie" debuted in 1965.

Anthony "Tony" Nelson (Larry Hagman) is an astronaut for NASA. While in a one-person space capsule, the capsule comes down in the wrong area, and he sees a bottle.

At first, he keeps her in the bottle but eventually allows her to have freedom, and they soon become friends, and he falls in love with her. The only person who knows Jeannie is a genie is Tony's best friend and coworker, Roger Healey (Bill Daily).

The NASA psychiatrist, Dr. Alfred Bellows (Hayden Rorke), believes Tony is crazy. Still, whenever he thinks he has finally proven it, something goes wrong, and everyone thinks he is overworked or perhaps he is the one who is crazy.

Answer: Wilbur Post

"Mister Ed" debuted in 1961.

Alan Young played Wilbur Post, a young architect. When he and his wife Carol (Connie Hines) moved to their new home, it included a horse named Mister Ed. Mister Ed was a typical Palomino, except that he could talk (he was voiced by Allan Lane).

However, he only spoke to Wilbur when seen. This often got Wilbur in trouble, as he would be blamed for Mr. Ed's antics.
