TRUTH !!
it was on "the man from U.N.C.L.E.".
shatner played a heroic civilian recruited for an UNCLE mission- nimoy was the villain's bumbling henchman.

a lot of the ratites (the big, flightless birds) are rather aggressive to intruders, especially predators. likewise, llamas are pretty fierce to outsiders. i've had ranching/farming pals who have used either an emu or a llama in with a flock of docile little sheep to protect the flock from roaming coyotes or dog packs.

thanks for the input!
i've heard about llamas being utilized, but the ostrich/emu thing was news to me........LT

I got:

1. Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, and Gloria (I don't remember ever hearing of Checking In).
2. Joanie Loves Chachi, and Mork and Mindy (don't know how I forgot Laverne and Shirley!)
3.Rhoda, Phyllis, and Lou Grant
5. The Andy Griffith Show (I would have gotten Gomer Pyle-USMC and Mayberry RFD, but I forgot it could be a spin-off of a spin-off!).
6. Cloris Leachman
And I got the Truth or Crap.
