TV kids are often appear younger than their actual age.
10 out of 13 not bad I grew up with all these shows and still watch them on this channel and through other streaming channels
8 out of 13.
5/13 I did horrible lol
8/13. RIP Erin Moran.
8/13...I’ve never been good at telling ages and the older I get the harder it is.
4/12 not good 😭😭😭😭😭🤮🤮🤮
9/13 Hard to believe Johnny Crawford was 17 when The Rifleman went off the air. He was so small when it started. That means he was 12 when he was running up and jumping into Chuck's arms.
They purposely cast younger looking, short kids - older than their character's age -
as they have more years of acting under their belt, and thus easier to deal with.
Like Billy Gray on Father Knows Best.
That way you avoid having monsters like Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer to deal with.

3/13 :-(
I think that 9/13 is pretty good. The make up people and the script writers probably had to perform gymnastics to try to fit the kids into the story line. And we now know that Ron Howard has hair issues, his hair dresser must have had to have been very creative to cover up the increasing receding hairline.
Sadly, I got more than half of them wrong.
Not going to drink a quart of Buttermilk to drown my sorrows.
