I feel like I should have done better than 16 out of 20. After all I'm still watching Perry Mason and I read Nancy Drew books as a teenager! I guess it's the old memory lol
20/20
I would like to see on METV:
Nancy Drew Mysteries (Pamela Sue Martin)

I did OK because I read Nancy Drew as a child so I recognize the titles versus Perry Mason that I never watched.
(Caution! Reading this will cost you a minute of your life you won't get back)
As a youngster I was a veracious reader of tween adventure books. I read all of Tom Swift Jr (and one original Tom Swift Sr book), all of the Hardy Boys, all of the Tom Corbet Space Cadet, and all of the Rick Brant series that were in print at the time. I always wanted to read the Nancy Drews because of the interesting titles and intriguing book cover art. But at that age i felt it would look odd for a boy to read them. The irony is that now that I am mature enough to be comfortable in my own skin, I'd feel like an absolute jackass to be seen buying them.

It's too bad really. I read Nancy Drew, but I also read The Three Investigators mysteries, which featured three boys. I never read the Hardy Boys, but I would not have felt uncomfortable doing so. I understand your reluctance, though. 🙁
I buy them from thrift shops, but only read the old ones. You don’t want anything updated or politically correct. I have one from the early sixties and that is about as recent as I want.
Not familiar with The Three Investigators. 🤔 But will keep my eyes peeled. 👀
I was given books in the early 70's, but some of them still had cover art from an earlier time and you could tell which ones had had some updates.
I have several of the series. I went on a nostalgia kick about 10 years ago and bought some off ebay. The titles are something like Alfred Hitchcock presents the Three Investigators: The Talking Skull. These books have been updated, as well, so you'd want something from maybe the late 60's or early 70's, which is when I was reading them.
13/20. Complete guessing! 😆. Oh, speaking of Perry Mason, did anyone notice that the “murderer” on last Sunday’s Perry Mason Movie was played by John Karlen, AKA Willie Loomis from Dark Shadows? 😄
The name of it was “Perry Mason: The Case of the Glass Coffin” btw. 🙂

I had seen those Perry Mason movies several years ago, but I had forgotten about that episode. Well, it's appropriate since Willie had a lot of experience with coffins. 🦇
😄 Yes, quite appropriate lol ⚰️ 😆
Well, that takes me back! Hello, Mr. Collins!
10/10. I started out strong, then stumbled, then fell flat. Missed all of the last six.
You got 20 out of 20
Did you phone it in or did you re-call every answer?
No, I got them all...without cheating!

17/20 Dang! Expected to at least recognize all the Perry Mason titles.
13/20. Big fan of both. Should of done better.
Fortunately, Nan and Perry never did a ratings-grabbing crossover episode.
Me too, Retro6. Same logic we used there. Better luck next time for us.
16/20 not bad. Some of them just made more sense to be Nancy Drew. I’ve watched Perry Mason over the decades like I’ve watched The Twilight Zone. I thought I would naturally choose the correct titles but I was stumped on four!

Love Perry Mason and I used to read Nancy Drew books. Fun quiz.

I grew up with Nancy Drew, too. Wish I had kept my books. 😔
Books can bring back lots of childhood memories. I kept a few of mine, but books are also heavy and we’ve moved a lot, so ...... 😔
I understand. Been there, too. Hopefully, someone somewhere enjoyed my donated books.
I like to think so of mine too.
17/20 Missed 8, 14 & 15. I’ve read Nancy Drew stories and watch Perry Mason whenever I can. It was easy to confuse the two.
19/20. Oh, maaaan! So close! 😖
14/20. Not bad for guessing on all of them.
Yes they are. Sixteen. I improved by five over 26 months ago.
19/20.
Missed #18. Guess I was thrown by the fact that most Mason titles are alliterative.

True.
Good point. 🤔
