10/10. What happened to the clever remarks that usually accompany the completion of a quiz?

Betty White wasn't in the Bob Newhart Show, but she did become a regular on Newhart's later series "Bob", in which he played the creator of a comic-book superhero brought out of mothballs and re-imagined by a younger team of artists and writers. In its second season, the rebooted comic is canceled and Bob gets a job writing greeting cards, with White as his boss.

10/10. If they really wanted to challenge Shatner fans, they should have mentioned the Seventies series that he was on instead of "Boston Legal". Anyone remember that short-lived Seventies show?

Yep. The Barbary Coast, also starring Doug McClure.

CORRECT. Although, I'll admit, I forgot who the other man was. Who was the woman?

Diagnosis Murder was a 90s show, not the 80s.

9/10, I understandably missed Betty White, since I can't stand the sight of her. Sorry. Wasn't she also in one of those giant crocodile movies? Lake Placid or something?
