1. How many freckles did that “All American Boy”, Howdy Doody, have?
2. Who really killed the wife of “The Fugitive”? (I really don’t need his exact name.) (Yes, the movie and TV show had the same killer.)
3. Who is currently the longest running non-animated character on prime time network (broadcast) television? (I’ll accept either the actor or the character.)
4. “Married with Children” was a huge hit. What was father Al Bundy’s occupation ?
5. Tony Soprano was, of course, a mobster. But what did he tell his children his job was?
6. What two actresses portrayed Miss Ellie on the hit series “Dallas”? (5 points each name)
7. Name the characters portrayed by Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch in the series “F Troop.” (5 points for both last names and 5 points for both first names)
8. This person was the first to receive Emmy nominations for playing the same character on 3 different sitcoms. (In other words, this person was nominated on 3 different series for playing the same character.) Who has this honor?
9. What was the first TV series to spawn a movie?
10. On what show did we first hear the word “Kowabunga”?

You won't Know the Guy or the Programme (unless you live in Canada) but Ken Barlow(played by William Roache ) has been appearing since 9 December 1960
On UK Primetime TV in Coronation Street (was a student now a active pensioner)
While it wasn't on my typed list of questions, I stressed US television on Q 3. I should have done so in here. So Bedstor may have answered what I asked in here, but the US question is still open.
No to Q 9.

Not Quatermass, and you should remember that this was an American contest. The correct answer is an American series and an American movie. "The Quatermass Experiment" ran for 6 episodes in 1953, and "The Quatermass Xperiment" (1955) was actually a pilot for a second series, "Quatermass II" (1955).
In any case, the answer I have is an older movie from an older series.
