Where To Watch
Did these TV shows begin or end in 1974?
It was a significant year for The Brady Bunch and Happy Days.
From cartoons to cop shows to comedies, the year 1974 was pretty great for television. No other year in history offered up new episodes about the Fonz, Marcia Brady, Spock and Kolchak.
But some of those characters were just getting started as others were wrapping up their story arcs.

You got 14 out of 20
Was it the beginning or the end for you?
Enough, said.

The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family both ended in '74, but The Brady's were on the air one year earlier than the Partridges: Brady's started in '69, Partridges in '70. I always enjoyed watching Room 222, as the Brady's did, also started in '69, and ending in '74. FBI started in '65, ended in '74, starring Efrem Zimbalist Jr., after his great run on 77 Sunset Strip (1958-64).

17 out of 20 though I question the Star Trek post.
I could have sworn that started in 1974. I must be getting old.

15 out of 20, not bad. At least I know the 70s.
16/20. Thrown by #s 12, 17, and 18. I *knew* "That's My Mama" began in 1974, but I mistakenly made the wrong choice. (A piece of trivia regarding "That's My Mama:" It was the *very first* show produced by Columbia Pictures Television after the name of the company was changed from Screen Gems.)
You forgot another show that ended in 1974: "Love, American Style." Its last airing on ABC was on Friday, January 11, 1974; ironically, that was the same night "Good Times" premiered on CBS, but earlier in the evening, at 8:30 P.M. (Eastern). "Love"'s final episode aired at 10:00 P.M.
And, to be sure, my younger sister and I (I was then 11, she was 10) were both gravely disappointed when the Bradys and the Partridges ended. Those were our favorites when we were kids (but, I now have *both* series on DVD).

I remember National Lampoon reporting, after the death of Freddie Prinze Sr., that Jack Albertson would continue in a series called, "...and The Man."
It would tell the story of a crusty auto mechanic whose young assistant recently committed suicide.
