Heres a few questions for you

#1. 2 actors (both brothers) starred in back to back episodes. Name the brothers and the episodes they starred in.

#2. Darva Conger's Mother appears in what episode?

#3. The original choice to do the narrations was not Rod Serling but whom?

#4. Who was the only person to both star in & direct an episode

#5. What 3 TZ stars later became regulars on Hee Haw?

I'll narrow down the first question by letting everyone know that it was during the 4th season.
