* Perfect Score 12 of 12!
5/12. Less than half, although I got cheated on the height question: it shifted as I was about to answer the question above it and I ended up hitting a wrong choice for the height question. At least I got the one I was originally aiming for correct.

the first question asks, who began acting in the 1940's and after marking my answer wrong, it states that one began acting in 1946 and the other in 1947. the question should be who started acting first.
the correct answer is BOTH...which is an option.
I watch Perry Mason M-F at 11:30 pm on MeTV. My favorite TV show
On which channel ?
It depends on where you are. For me, MeTV is on Comcast/Xfinity Digital Channel 802 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, PA,

I believe Mr. Burr's final film was "The Return Of Ironside", not "The Case Of The Killer Kiss". So, who's got the reference books?
I just did a Google search & "The Case of the Killer Kiss" was Raymond Burr's final film.
