I almost read too much into who they were showing because I almost missed a few. Came real close on the Addams Family but then I looked at the background.
11/11 for me but was a but of a struggle.

11 out of 11. Number 10 was a total guess. I recognized the stairwell in the background but wasn't sure if it was The Munsters, or The Addams house. The actress resembles the witch in The Wizard of Oz movie.
The actress was Margaret Hamilton. She did indeed play the Wicked Witch of the West (and Miss Gulch)
Bonus Question: What '60's sitcom had a lead character whose mother-in-law didn't have a name? Hint: His wife didn't have a name either!
Well, I gave you 3 days, so here's the Answer: "Would you believe..." it was Get Smart! Max's mother-in-law was billed as 99's Mother!

10/11; missed #10 The Addams Family - I was never a big fan of that show or the Munsters.
#5 don't know who "lisa douglea" is but that actress was the mother of Barbara, the woman who married stephen douglas on my three sons.
She's Oliver Wendell Douglas' mother on Green Acres.
and p;iver.... is the eddie albert charater-- never wathec/liked this silly show
It seems that can't write in English properly either. I'm not even going to mention your bad taste in TV shows.
Eight out of 11.
