How Well Do You Remember These Shows From the 60s? Trivia Challenge - 30 Questions! 

I agree, it was an accidental mistype on my part. Thank you for letting me know!

Remember their pet dog's name ?

@@alanosterman7130 Of course! Scruffy!

@@alanosterman7130 The quiz was too easy just naming the shows. Naming the characters would have provided a bit more difficulty. Did you notice it was fake Ginger? (I was born 1951, so this quiz was in my "wheel house".)

​@@avlisk The photo was from the first movie, not the TV series.

30

Then there was PBS. Then here in Boston added 38 n 56.

Lived in the NYC metro area, channels 2-4-5-7-9-11-13 in the 50’s

Lived in Phila. at the time VHF 3, 6, 10, 12, UHF 17, 29, 48.😃

Most of them were known in the UK as well, with the possible exception of That Girl and Mr Rogers.

Loved a lot of those shows, if not all. Loved great drama anthology series, like Route 66. Didn't love the 1968 Democratic Convention, race riots across the country, Vietnam War and Cold War, so I don't miss living in that decade. My mother used to wax poetic about the Depression when "everyone was in the same boat." I reminded her of the life she had after her father died in the middle of it. With few exceptions, the good ol' days weren't all that good. What we can say with all of these shows is that there weren't six plots going on simultaneously, each given three to four minutes at a time for which each main actor gets paid $100,000-$200,000 or more per episode. I'm not sure whether producers, writers and directors are catering to a public that has the attention span of a puppy, or whether the public has the attention span of a puppy because they've been trained to have the attention span of a puppy by producers, writers and directors over the past quarter century or so. But that's where we are today.

I would have gotten all 30 right if I didn't confuse Mission Impossible with Get Smart😑. It was so many years ago that I watched both shows, especially in reruns, that I goofed🥴.

@@gnirolnamlerf593 I was just a kid and not aware of civil rights, Vietnam, etc. I remember seeing a coffin covered with an American flag that might have been Bobby Kennedy's funeral. I miss that decade because, from a child's perspective, it was carefree with no problems.

I got them al right. I love those old classics.

Yes they were held to strict standards back then. Males and females were not on camera together in a bed.

Wholesomeness! Oh Yeah! Like the theme from Green Acres. He, "You Are My WIFE!" She, "Goodbye, City Life!"

Yeah I could have done this quiz with my eyes closed.

Ron Howard is still around.

"That Girl" still alive, Jeannie? I think Dick Van Dyke is still alive. Carol Burnett, and her side kick gal. Jethro. Is Gavin Mcleod still alive? Danno? Addams Family little girl just died. 3 Sons???

No green hornet.

I covered the choices up with a piece of paper. Unnecessary.

I got them all right. I am and will forever be a classic tv(1960s)fan.

Awesome! Thank you for playing!

A number of those shows are not very good.

Time Tunnel, Bonanza, Wanted: Dead or Alive, The Big Valley.

Memory lane? Most shows on TV all the time. I get home from work and they get Green Acres on.

She was gorgeous.

I get your point, but were they actually “realistic”, though? Don’t a lot of TV shows today reflect more of what family life actually looks like, while the old shows portrayed families as very harmonious, apple pie and Pleasantville? Wasn’t a show like Roseanne actually a better portrayal of what working class families look like?

Depends how you LOOK at it! MASH ALL IN THE FAMILY , JUST A COUPLE OF BLACK COMEDIES( BOTH FUNNY AND SERIOUS AT THE SAME TIME) FROM OVER HALF A CENTURY AGO!

Some current shows are better than movies, bcos you have time to build characters. I include shows that are made for streaming mostly. So I would say some shows are excellent, but you are correct in saying their is a lot of junk on TV these days. Reality shows are cheap to make, so that is what they put on. I’m amazed that anyone watches them, though.

@@carblarson8868 depends what your favorite shows are. For me I watch hockey( Toronto maple leafs). STAR TREk Picard, MURDOCH MYSTERIES, HUDSON AND REX AND BONES! MY WIFE LIKES ALL OF THOSE PLUS THE Y AND R, THE GOOD DOCTOR AND DOC MARTIN.

@@carblarson8868 I agree that current shows have better characters. I loved the old shows from back then, but when I compare the “realness” of those shows to todays shows, shows today definitely are ahead. I also find actors these days much more realistic than they were back then. Method acting and learning their trade from the ground up has certainly helped to create really good actors. My brother loves old movies, and though some are good to watch, I always tell him that I don’t find the actors to be very realistic. Cary Grant, for example, was like a piece of wood, no sense of realness to his portrayal of characters.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤Thank you for playing!

We can definitely go with genius. :o)

100 precent yay!

@@marryrose8329 ME TOO!

I’m 89,needless to say,I saw all the TV shows from the time they broadcast until today ,when I can’t find to many shows that are that interesting.glad Imlived in the heyday if TV

I'm glad that you stopped by and played with us and enjoyed it! Thank you! 💕

And nickelodeon played several of these even until the eighties. That is how I watched the monkees.

@TimJackson - That was me with Nick at Night back in the day. That punishment for sneaking tv to watch the second half of a two-part Get Smart show was still worth it.

# 8. was actually the original series from the 1960’s called Gilligan’s Island.

​@@hume6900nope, that was not Tina Louise

error in spelling...it's spelled DAKTARI.

Did not know that! It was one of my mom's favorite shows, but did not know that. Thank you for letting me know that interesting fact!

I loved the show and the movie. One of the things my mom and I did growing up was watch old shows and movies. So it had to be in there.

Correct,it was not Mrs. Muir's ghost.

The only one I did not ever see but able guess by process of elimination.

I'm so glad someone else watched Nick at Night. That's how I watched a lot of these shows as a small kid.
