Jason Ritter is not "second" generation. He is at least third. His grandfather, and John Ritter's father, was Tex Ritter of Western fame.

7/10. Unfamiliar with most tbh…Kravitz is the best one…
9/10. I didn't have a clue as to who Nicollette Sheridan's stepfather was.
I had to guess and I got it right. I had the same problem with Beau Bridges Son but I got that right too.
10/10 never heard of #10, took a guess
"Quantum Leap" is my all-time favorite show. Troian actually showed up in an episode as a very, VERY little girl who could see Dr. Sam Beckett as he really was when he "Leaped" into her mother.

Missed #5, #7, and #9.
I think I did 'relatively' well, guessing.

AT was great, but let's admit it: In the last season when it stopped being Police Squad! and got serious it jumped the shark!
