33/40. This was the longest quiz so far.
39 of 40!
You got 39 out of 40
You casually breezed through that without breaking a sweat!
Missed #40, though I remember that show starring Robert Conrad? The name just escaped me.

36/40. Never heard of, or watched, the shows I missed.
40/40 on a re-take (33 months in between)
33/40 i didnt know any of the last 7 ...i wish someone would put on moonlighting ..im sure they will with Bruce now a days having issues ..was a great actor ..seemed like a regular guy ..hope he gets better
39/40
Breezed right through because even if I never watched the show, I had at least heard of it... until I got to #40, lol.

Robert Conrad and I think a couple of his sons--as I recall, it was kind of Baa Baa Black Sheep meets Emergency...
38/40
That was ridiculously easy
40 out of 40
32/40. Not too bad considering I really never watched any of these shows. I'd heard of most of them but I get enough "drama" in daily life and the world news these days. I really enjoy lighthearted and comedy sitcoms and Saturday Sci-Fi!
38/40 Not bad. The two I missed were shows I didn’t watch or even here of…

I did this quiz wile waiting for brunch at Applebee for one hour😂
It didn't take me that long!
37/40....had to have lunch during this quiz:)
#39 bit me - don't recall that show at all

A Richard Dean Anderson show about Navy and Navy-adjacent people.
TY for the info - I know Richard Dean Andersen
Don't remember Richard Dean being on it (granted, I only vaguely remember the show), but wasn't Craig T. Nelson on there too?

I love mash
"M.A.S.H." premiered in 1972, and ended its run in 1983. Just thought I'd tell you that in case you weren't aware of that fact, you dig? BTW, it's one of "MY" favourite shows, also. LOL!
I’d love to see Hillstreet Blues and St Elsewhere. A lot of the ones that it looked like I missed were because my finger would bump the screen while was reading. Cagney and Lacy is another one that could be brought back. I watch so many of these now that it seems strange to read about them as series in the past. Perry Mason will never grow old. My all time favorite is The Waltons. I watch it everyday and am amazed at the multiple stories going on in every episode. Excellent writing and casting!
I believe Cagney & Lacey is on Start TV these days. I stopped watching St. Elsewhere shortly before Mark Harmon's character contracted AIDS--not because of him or the storyline, just because I lost interest in the whole thing--but I'd love to see Hill Street Blues again.
36/40 Naturally the ones I missed were shows I never watched! I was surprised Trapper John lasted that long! I LOVED IT but it was a throwback to shows like Marcus Welby and Emergency and felt out of place with all the sitcoms, Prime Time soaps and crime dramas!
Finally, I was surprised "Lousy" wasn't one of the choices for Thirtysomething... which tells you how I felt about the show!

Sonny Spoon - HUH?
and then #37?
Sonny Spoon - HUH?
and then #37?
Yeah, I never heard of Sonny Spoons. Now, Silver Spoons I have heard of, but it wasn't an option.
silver spoons - wasn't that show about drugs? (only kidding:)
Sonny Spoon was kind of Rockford Files, but with a young, hip black man. I want to say he was played by Mario Van Peebles, but I wouldn't swear to it.
