Frogtog,

Remember, your memory is the second thing to go.  ;D   ;D   ;D

I had them all except the first one.  i couldn't remember it was the silver bullet.  I'm old like Sam. ;D

Yeah, but what was his horse's name?  

What was Roy Rogers' horse's name and his dog's name?

Dale Evans' horse?

Robert E. Lee's horse?

I first time I got them all right, the second half wrong, what's up with that!

I'm old but refuse to admit it.  I got a couple wrong on purpose... ;D

1. Silver

2. Trigger; Bullet

3. Buttermilk

4. Traveler

And the Red Skelton Hobo wasn't Clem Kadidlehopper, the Hobo was Freddie the Freeloader, Clem was a different character.

I knew it Klem didn't sound right. But that was a Red Skeleton character, wasn't it?

By the way, thanks Sam.  I knew somebody burnt bras for somethin'

Yes, Clem was a Red Skelton character, kinda of a goofy guy.

I forgot Freddie Freeloader, but got all the others -- Now for the bonus round, follow-up to #4 - there was a very unique signature ending to evey show - what was it?

Hammer and chisel, making a roman numeral "VII" into marble slab.

"A Mark VII Production."

Give that man a cheroot.  Now for the bonus round: What was Gene Autry's horse's name and what was Sky King's airplane's name?

Olebiker, your memory is much better than mine.  I know Sky King had a niece named Penny, but I have no idea what the name of his plane was.  As for Gene Autry's horse? His name was Buckwheat.  ;D

Gene Autry's Horse = Champion

Sky Kings Plane = Song bird

"Penny to Song Bird, Penny to Song Bird, come in Uncle Sky".
