The Dennis O'Keefe Show - a unique case it seems

In the following submissions, I tried to delete the duplicated posters for The Dennis O'Keefe Show (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052460/mediaindex/), but it seems these are all uniquely needed in the database. Is this correct or can they be deleted? #260127-000950-013002 #260127-001003-432302 #2601

Why declined? It's a fact, not an opinion

Why was my contribution for trivia for this episode declined? It's certainly not an opinion. Watch any episode and you've never seen Hawkeye and Trapper John back down until this episode. And it's certainly not too long. Please elaborate what the problem is. Thank you 30 January 2026#260130-152256-1
