Where To Watch
How many ''years young'' were these Sixties actors when they played the same roles decades later?
These stars proved age is just a number…but which number exactly?
The 1960s really had some of the best TV shows around. It’s easy to see why fans were clamoring to watch their favorite characters reunite in the years after each program ended. A steady stream of TV specials, sequel series, and in Star Trek’s case theatrical films, began debuting in the late 1970s and continued all the way through the early 90s.
Here are some of our favorite Sixties stars playing their most famous characters years after their original show aired. Can you guess how old (or young) each actor was in each later installment?

10/10.

I think its time for Andy Griffith to move on there is way too much of him.
Raymond Burr was 40 when Perry Mason began? That really surprised me, I figured he was younger.
I thought he was very dashing and handsome in the first few seasons of the show.

7 out of 10. Surprised I got fouled up with James Arness.
You got 2 out of 10
Looks like these actors' ages escaped you. Would it be cheating to phone a friend?

Got a few [guessed] and then blew it completely and gave up.

I was just guessing. I never saw Return to Mayberry or One Man’s Justice. I will watch for them on MeTV. 4 out of 10 not good score, but now I have something to watch for on MeTV.

3/10, and those were guesses. I had no idea.
2/10 🥴
9/10
I realize they're looking for numbers, but I think two of these questions need to have a fourth choice added. In Gunsmoke: One Man's Justice, James Arness was Marshal Dillon (a bit obvious, but still...) and in Return To Green Acres, Miss Eva was still a stunningly beautiful lady. (And Mr. Nimoy was Spock and so on...and so on...)
9/10. The reason I did so well is I knew what year every show came out, except for "Maverick". I had to guess what year the reunion show came out but I got most of them right.
5/10
I guess the SWAG system doesn't work out to well. (Swag scientific wild ass guess) got only 4 out of the 10.
So did I. But I was always too interested in whichever show I was watching to care how old anybody was.
Missed a few second guessing myself
Tough one for me...only 2 out of 10. Oh well, better luck next time.
