> 1970s latchkey kid

I am now administering the secret '70s latchkey quiz:

   - Ricky, I want to be...
   - This is Jim Rockford...
   - Ladies, please don't...
   - Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and...
   - Missed it by...
   - We can rebuild...

I guess the latchkey experience in the '70s wasn't as universal as I thought :-)

   1. ...in the show! -- I Love Lucy
   2. ...at the tone leave your name and number and I'll get back to you. -- Rockford Files opening.
   3. ...squeeze the Charmin! -- Charmin toilet paper commercials
   4. ...and Irving. -- The Mosquitos on Gilligan's Island
   5. ...that much! -- Get Smart
   6. ...him. We can make him faster... -- the Six Million Dollar Man

1. ?

2. Rockford Files (with James Garner)

3. ?

4. ?

5. Get Smart (created my Mel Brooks)

6. the Six Million Dollar Man (with Lee Majors)

I watched a lot more movies than TV shows as a kid. I miss the time when my idea of a real-life villain was Turner for colorizing B&W movies. God speed. RIP

I got 4 out of 6 of them. How many of these were on Nick at Night so you wouldn't necessarily have to be a 70s latchkey kid?
