# 4 is from a hilarious sit-com long since gone

# 3 is from another very funny sit-com, which didn't run very long, but which still has a "cult-like" following

I'm old enough to remember "You Bet Your Life"
Groucho would announce to the two contestants:
"Say the secret word and divide a hundred dollars...It's a common word, something you see every day"

I think Hawkeye was referring to Col. Flagg, the Army Intelligence officer, who said something like "I wasn't here, it was the wind" or "I am the wind"...and then jumped out the window.

(I've probably seen every episode of Mash)

I think it's the episode where Basil spends most of the episode trying to mount a framed painting on the wall of the lobby, but keeps getting interrupted.

It was the number one show in America for 5 straight years.
