Can you guess the most-watched TV shows of the 1960s?

Did Bonanza top Green Acres?

 
The most popular shows of the 1960s remain popular to this day. Well, for the most part. The Red Skelton Hour and Daktari are not quite household names on the level of The Beverly Hillbillies and Bonanza.

We looked at television ratings (no cheating!) for each season that decade, along with the estimated audience size. Try to find the top show!

7/10. 2, 4 and 8.
Clue: None of the correct answers were ABC shows. That would change in the 1970s.

9/10, and pretty much guessed on each.

You got 10 out of 10
They're all winners in our mind. Were you a winner, too?

Lucky guesses.

You'll probably all hate me for this but...I got them all, Jack! 10 out of 10! I didn't cheat one time, not one time! I just went by on what I remember seeing, hearing, and reading and on instinct. I also had a great deal of luck on my side because there were times where I thought I might get a question wrong, only to have it turn out that I didn't. I told you you'd all hate me for this.

9/10. So Andy didn’t reach the top spot until the final season. Interesting.
