10/10 and the majority were guesses wow!!!!
6 out of 10 isn't bad considering it was off the air before I was born
9/10 -- Most were educated guesses. I'm familiar with The Rifleman, but I've never seen the first episode.
I got 10/10, but guessed at #10, because it has absolutely nothing to do with the actual episode. Not a fair question in my humble opinion.
4 correct
