Where To Watch
Can you complete the names of all these 1950s TV characters?
See if you can send your score "to the moon!"
In the 1950s, great television was just getting started. With genuine stars like Donna Reed, Steve McQueen, Lucille Ball, and many more leading the way, it remains an astonishingly memorable time in TV history, especially for those who spot what's so special and return to the shows regularly.
Here, we've got a baker's dozen of classic characters we met in the 1950s, missing half their name. Anybody who's a fan of this early era of TV will be able to complete 10/13 names or more, no sweat. Good luck!

12/13. Missed #9.
"I Married Joan?" Come on, now. But I still missed two others that had to do with shows I never watched. Guessing works sometimes, but not often enough.
Its a good thing I watch all these 60's shows..................12/13
Yet most of them were in the 50's not the 60's.
11/13 I don't remember Sheriff "Coffee" even having a deputy. And I thought the sheriff's last name was "Toffee". I also missed the "I Married Joan" question. Seriously?
this was too easy quiz
Having never seen I Married Joan, I missed that one. 12/13 Not bad being born in 57 I guess, and depending on reruns
I missed the Joan one too. I've only seen a couple of them on a PBS station that shows classic TV shows.
I didn't know four of them, but I only got one wrong.
Lucky guesses worked this time.

I know '50s characters like I know the back of my han....whoa, when did that mole pop up? 7/13
Missed I Married Joan. Knew he was a Judge though.
I didn't know that one either but I lucked out. I guessed right, and got 13/13.
10/13.
