13 out of 13 correct! It was easy; some of the actors I recognized from watching their shows. Others I figured out by remembering what shows they were on in 1973. I watched a lot of TV back then. Doing this quiz brought back a few memories.
13/13 I sure miss the old TV Guide
A PERFECT 13!!!!! ✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️👌👌👌👌👌 😃😃😃😃😃
You got 13 out of 13
What keen detective skills you have! You could recognize these TV stars from a police sketch. Nice work!

13/13. Way to easy.
12/13 I got #5 wrong. That was due to lack of attention to the year stated in the introduction. Mea culpa.
12/13. Not bad. I blew it on #12. Book me Danno!

13 correct.
13 out of 13...Yahoooooo!!
11 out of 13.
I read too many TV Guides
12/13 Missed #4. Ingalls, Waltons, never watched either show.
Number 3 is almost a trick question because William Conrad played Frank Cannon (Cannon), Nero Wolfe (Nero Wolfe), AND J.L. McCabe (Jake & the Fatman).
Yes, it's one of those questions in which one must remember what it is asking about the stars (in 1973).
William Conrad should've been a porn star!!! He had the perfect look.
Okay now we can all try to get that image out of our heads!😄😄
13/13 now I want to eliminate Mamas family from the Me-Tv schedule...OOPS it's gonna happen
13/13 I really need a life.
