Did these classic shows begin or end in 1969?

Was it hello or goodbye for Star Trek, Scooby Doo and The Brady Bunch?

When many people think of the 1960s, they really think of the late '60s, in particular 1969. Things like Woodstock and the moon landing will forever mark the year in the history books.

It was also an eventful year on television. Many classic shows either made their debut or aired their final episodes during those 365 days. A few did both! Can you guess what happened for each show listed below?

  1. Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.
  2. The Brady Bunch
  3. Star Trek
  4. Night Gallery
  5. Scooby Doo, Where Are You!
  6. The Wild Wild West
  7. The Jim Nabors Hour
  8. The Big Valley
  9. H.R. Pufnstuf
  10. The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour
  11. Marcus Welby, M.D.
  12. The Mothers-in-Law
  13. The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour
  14. The Joe Namath Show

I never heard of the Joe Namath show, which may explain why it started and ended in the same year.
I think you cheated with H.R. PuffnStuff as many of these shows ran one year in new episodes then went into reruns for a decade.

It's been a long time since I've taken this quiz, and I got the same score as last time! (9/14)

11/14 - only watched a few of those shows, but being just 5 at the time limited my ability to get to a television

Me, too. I was only 7 in 1969.

I thought "H.R. Pufnstuf" ran for a full season, but I forgot they made only 16(?) half-hour episodes.
So it *is* true, not counting future reruns, that the show began and ended within 1969.

12/14 I thought the Smothers Brothers lasted into the 1970s.

You're confusing it with their 1975 show that was a mid-season show during the 1974-75 TV season.

Glen Campbell, Jim Nabors, JOE NAMATH(?)...wow, they'd give a variety show to anybody in '69!

Glen Campbell show was pretty popular back in the day. Johnny Cash, Mac Davis, Bobby Goldsboro, Sonny and Cher, and of course Donny and Marie all had a show.

11 out of 14. Not too bad, considering I began in 1969.

(honestly, I took this quiz only so I could say that)
