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.

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
