Similar to the James Bond movies set in exotic locations, "I Spy" used Culp playing tennis player, Kelly Robinson with trainer, "Scotty" Scott solving crimes in a more realistic way, unlike the spy shows using gadgets like the James Bond series, "Mission Impossible" and "The Wild Wild West". The catchphrase "wonderfulness" was created during the show.

5. Which large cartoon character, noted for being unclothed, and usually humming "Camptown Races", was based on a radio show character of a southern American senator?

Answer: Foghorn Leghorn

Foghorn Leghorn, a large, white, good ole southern boy rooster, was created in 1946 by Robert McKimson and Warren Foster. In charge of protecting his barnyard - remarkably successfully - and with a trail of adoring hens to his credit, Foghorn was based on the radio show character Senator Claghorn, a regular on the "Fred Allen Show". Claghorn is described as a loud and blustery Senator from the southern states of America. Wikipedia describes him as being noted for such expressions as "Pay attention now, Boy!" and "Claghorn's the name. Senator Claghorn, that is. I'm from the south, suh". Sound familiar?
