12 of 12. Unlike 1 Adam 12.

The June 1 issue where Cher was shown here on the cover was the first issue of this magazine to have a price of 20 cents after costing just 15 cents/issue for its first 20+ years. The price went up to 25 cents with the Fall Preview on Sept. 7, and I'm not sure how high it is now.

10 OUT OF 12 CAROL BURNETT WAS A TRICKY ONE IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE VICKI LAWRENCE
I certainly remember the cover Lucille Ball cover from the spring of 1974. I was roughly two months away from turning 5 and a half years old(Sunday, June 30, 1974). 😁📺
12/12 I really DID have a stinted childhood.
Lacey, to me you look like a 12 out of 10.... nice.

11 out of 12. I guessed on number five and got it right, but got the last one wrong. My parents faithfully watched Walter Cronkite on The CBS Evening News ever since I was born until even after Walter left and Dan rather came into it. We watch ABC World News now. We switched to ABC thirty years ago.
10/12. #6 doesn't look like Lee Majors, and #10 looks more Carol Burnett, to my eyes anyway.
One of the reasons Vicki Lawrence was hired was her resemblance to Carol Burnett.
12/12!
11/12. It was 7 years before I was born, yet I got most of them. I doubt if they showed me TV Guide covers from the past year, that I would recognize any of them.
12/12 too easy
I know. The only challenge was the boss in the All in the Family cover.
