9/10....and I’m from that area, I should be ashamed!
10/10. #9 was a true guess since I never saw "Banacek."
9/10
I lost my score I'm not doing this again.
You must have got a 1 or maybe 2 out of the 10! LOL
9-10 I missed The Golden Girls thought it was Fort Lauderdale but it’s Miami.
😂 Any true fan knows where it takes place. It’s okay I got #9 wrong and I’m from that area.
10-10 not bad , kind of easy though
8/10😊
8/10....better than I thought
10/10! Gave some real good hints. Guessed on Banacek
9/10. I never watched Dallas.
Me, either, but I did not recognize the skyline from the pic. I figured it was not (WKRP in) Cincinnati, so I guessed correctly on Dallas.
