Some were obviously "Star Trek" (Harry Mudd, Sarek, Gorn) and some I guessed.
Who was "Rodent" and what series was he, she, it on?

17/20. They had Rainn Wilson playing Harry Mudd in current “Star Trek” series. Before all of his troubles started, I could have seen Ron Jeremy as Mudd.
15/20.
16/20 "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....", wait wrong show/movie

16 of 20. A lot better than I thought I'd do! Wib, Feeter and Gecko? Now I'm happy with just plain old Rob!
Don't you mean just "plain old 'Bones'"?

Thought I would know most of those names from Star Trek and get them correct by a process of elimination. Some just threw me, though.
Wib Smith... isn't that Will Smith's brother?

16 of 20, tough one.
There was a Johnny Drago on The Rifleman too.
19/20 🤔 A few lucky guesses
13/20 All guesses but #20.
12/20 🫤
19/20. Darn that Rodent! 🐀
Who was "Rodent" and what series was he on?
Supposedly he was in ST-TOS in the "City on the Edge of Forever" episode. I'd have to see that episode again, but I don't remember anyone with that name.

I would have expected no less from you! 😉
Thank you.
Who was "Rodent" and what series was he on?
"Rodent" was the nickname applied to a ratty little bowery bum in the Star Trek episode "City on the Edge of Forever". He is the first person met by a time-travelling Dr. McCoy, and it doesn't go that well for Rodent.
And apparently we live in an incredible nanny-state where a short clip from a network broadcast prime time television series from almost 60 years ago now needs to be "age restricted"?
1️⃣6️⃣ I missed 5️⃣,🔟 and 2️⃣0️⃣ last time,3️⃣,5️⃣,6️⃣ and 1️⃣1️⃣ this time. Moss Grimmick would be disappointed.
