8 out of 12, fair

5 out of 12.
6/12 - another poor showing
In 2015 I would walk into shoe stores and ask for "self-lacing sneakers". Most of the Millennial clerks just gave me a puzzled look.
11 out of 12, but I looked up Alien.
so you cheated on that one.
7 out of 12. That was not too bad. Loved The Jetsons as a child and Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century as a teenager. Glad that these are on DVD so I can relieve my childhood.
8 out of 12, not so good! I was in love with wilma on buck R-25th century! Her and mary ann from gilligan's island got me through puberty!
Quite a lengthy stint with puberty, Frank...2 decade spread! What was that all about??? ;)
6/12... I totally guessed on this one!
You are not the only one. About the only two i really knew were the Jetsons and Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century. Those two were my favorites. I agree; thank goodness for these shows being on DVD so I can relive my childhood again.
12/12 Interesting. Haven't watched too many SciFi shows since I was a teenager. My favorite when I was a teenager was Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. When I was a kid, it was Star Trek. Thank goodness for those shows being on DVD as I can relive my childhood again.
Woah, I only scored 6/12 and I'm both a SciFi and time travel nerd! I must be low on coffee.
Number 8 has William Conrad's voice running through my head.

I think I win the prize for the worst score. 4/12.
I only got 1 so you did a lot better than me.
I’m getting better with the Star Trek quizzes. I’m remembering stuff from the METV stories. Have never watched it.
5/12. Only if I had a time machine
