You would recognize all these actors from classic TV shows. In photographs.
Illustrations? Those are a little harder. Artists are more subjective. Which can make identifying the stars on TV Guide a little tougher. Back in the day, the magazine loved to use paintings and drawings on the covers.
All of the following covers hit newsstands and grocery aisles in 1980. Keep that in mind as you try to match the cover with the TV show. Good luck!

14/15. Never knew BJ and the Bear had a "spinoff," never knew it was called The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo. Oh well.
15 out of 15. Do they still print T.V Guide anymore?
They do, but it's not the same as it used to be. Now it's just another celebrity gossip rag.
14 out of 15. I knocked it out of the park.

Should get extra credit for recognizing the illustration at the top (Richard Chamberlain, 'Shogun'). Just sayin' :D
15 out of 15. Wish we had this style of TV Guide. But back then we didn't have 500 channels all showing crap.
