Gunsmoke vs. Bonanza. My Three Sons vs. Mayberry R.F.D.
Exactly 50 years ago, TV fans had growing options when channel surfing and Nielsen's top TV shows started showing even more variety than Carol Burnett knew how to pack onto one stage.
Here, we take a look at the top-rated shows from 1968 overall, then we break it down by genre, so we can see if you can name the top sitcom, drama, variety show, Western and more.
Only the biggest fans of '60s TV can score 7 or more. Good luck!

Missed a few, but don't feel bad. It was a totally different time for TV fans.

* There was no internet, VCRs or cable in 1968 so we watched what was on prime time network TV. We WERE Marshall McLuhan's global village back then. Today we may look at syndicated reruns of some of those programs and wonder "OMG did I actually go out of my way to watch that?" But they were fun to watch brain candy. ☺
7 of 8... and I guessed... I was in the womb for most of it.
3/10.Seemed like I was doing better.Not bad though as I can see compared to others.
6 out of 8.
8/8 right

6/8, Gomer Pyle had higher ratings than The Hillbillies?
Yes. Still would rather watch Gomer reruns.
Beverly Hillbillies was fun to watch but jumped the shark with those Shorty Kellums episodes. ☺
4/8. Pretty bad.
I was 4/8 which is still 50%,
Same here.....guess was not watching much TV, since had drivers license and was too busy for TV watching.

Missed a few, but don't feel bad. It was a totally different time for TV fans. I only picked what I watched. But then I usually watched the ones that always got cancelled.

Ouch, 4 out of 8.
Interesting how popular Mayberry R.F.D. was, but it is not in syndication today.

I got 1 out of 8. Only got the last one right. Terrible for me.
3/8. Not bad considering they were all guesses. I wasn't quite 2 years old in 1968.
