(15,420 posts)Shazam! and Surprise, surprise, surprise! came from Gomer Pyle, though when Neighbors was a guest star on the Andy Griffith show, he said these things as well.
As a bonus, the Huh? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Huh? Yeah. Huh? YES! was also a gag performed on Andy Griffith by Jack Burns, who played a character named Warren. Warren was the 'huh?' and Andy was the 'yeah.' Finally, when he'd get completely exasperated, he would yell YES! at Warren and then he'd shut up. Pretty funny.
The poster under you got the first one correct: "I don't think so, Tim," was said to Tim Allen on Home Improvement by Richard Karn, who played Al, Tim's sidekick. I can remember so many times when Tim was going to do something stupid, and Al would say that. Among the funniest scenes on the show was when Tim souped up his garbage disposal to have MORE POWER, and then fed it a wooden broomstick. I was rolling! That had to be the funniest thing I ever saw. Feeding a broomstick down the garbage disposal.
Of course, later Tim proved to be a right wing-nut, and actually became a Trump supporter...geez. But his Home Improvement was hilarious even so.

Of course, Froggy originated with Smilin' Ed McConnell whose program predated Andy's Gang until McConnell died. I watched both versions when I was a kid. They showed "Ramar of the Jungle" adventures, and yes, Froggy was an ever present menace. My sisters and I made fun of the Ramar episodes by calling them "Grandma of the Jungle".

Robert Altman, who directed "Mash" the movie, hated "Mash" the TV show, for some reason.
But his son must have loved Mash the TV show, because he was the one who wrote the theme song for the movie, (which was used in the TV show)...so he made a lot of money off the TV show's use of that theme.
