Wow. I only missed 1 too. I didn't get number 10, but then I really didn't see that show that much.
 
I couldn't remember the Red Skelton Character's name, but I got all of the others.

Colleen, Most of this happened before I was born, and I'm older than most on here. You're showing your age. ;)

I got them all except no. 10; I kept thinking Clem Kadiddlehopper... but I used to watch all these things from my crib... wackicon..hee hee...
 
I didn't get #3 and the first half of #10.

Do I get extra credit on #13? :D The song is a tribute to three men, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper who all died in the same plane crash.
