Nice work! You deserve a first-place ribbon! We'll get that to you just as soon as ALF is done making it…
80s TV was BAD!
Except for carry-over shows that began in the 70s.

11 out of 12! 😁😁😁😁😁
10/12!
The Perry Mason question was kind of tricky. I figured they were just talking about the actual television show, not the made for television movies which came much later.
10/12! missed numbers 4 and 10.

11/12....... Shouldve been 12/12 but i had a brain fart. I knew perry mason movies were released in the 80s but for some reason i thought only the actual tv series counted not the made for movies lol
Question nine is wrong. Agent Dale Cooper was first on twin peaks in 1989.
Although the first broadcast (2 hours) was copyrighted 1989 it was not broadcast on ABC until April 1990.
9 out of 12 on this quiz.

11/12.
Only 7/12. Oh well, next one should be better
A couple of trick questions. They need to re-phrase these questions next time, otherwise I would have had a perfect score....................................10/12
10 out of 12 not bad .
8/12. Not too bad, considering my job prevented me from ever watching primetime TV in the 80s.
12/12. Not to sound cocky, I figured I had this.
