Don’t forget to “transport to Rampart immediately.” Trixie gave such good advice.
I think the nurse’s name was Dixie. Trixie was the girl in Speed Racer, the sister of Spridle. The only other Dixie I know of on TV was those cartoon “meeses”, Pixie and Dixie. I forgot the cat’s name.
I have watched way too many cartoons in my life.

Warren ZevonYou’re of course correct, AzureHorsey.

Gilligan posted a list of standard lines including:
“Sorry about that, Chief”
Chief Scott identified the show as “F Troop”.
I suspect the correct answer was Don Adams, Agent 86, in “Get Smart”.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
We have a Martha Stewart one at our house, too. Once she was showing how to make tea (yes, TEA) and as if that wasn’t complicated enough in itself, she added “If you’d like it sweeter…try some sugar!” In an astoundingly sincere voice. We use a variation of this to state the stupidly obvious. (e.g. "If you’d like it wetter, try some WATER!)
Also, a favorite Buddy Lee commercial was the one when the dingy lady went “Wait a minute, that’s not my car…THAT’S my car!” I use that whenever I space out on something totally obvious. (Like the time I tried for about 10 minutes to put the beef flavoring lid on the garlic salt bottle, before realising the correct lid was sitting on the counter in front of me.)
She has an IQ of 1001, she has a jumpsuit on – she’s also a telephone
Maybe one day I’ll feel her cold embrace, and kiss her interface – until then, I’ll leave her alone
Oh, this is not good. ChiefScott missed two TV trivia questions.
The Singing Nun requires him to say ten Hail Marys and watch five episodes of Starsky and Hutch as penance.

Back to the origonal question.
Because it sounds good?
When my husband and I see something we like on TV (such as food or a nice car, etc.), we’ll make like Homer Simpson when he’s really enjoying something. I don’t know if I can spell it, but he always has his tongue hanging out of his mouth like he’s drooling and throatily says, “aaauuuugggghhh”.
