You got 12 out of 14. I missed on the Brady Bunch and the "Keep America Beautiful" PSA. I guess because I remember watching them in the 70's.
12 right out of 14. I missed on the "Keep America Beautiful" question, and when Diet Pepsi was first introduced. But I laughed out loud when I saw the last question, about when the Ford Pinto was first put on sale. My dad bought a '72 Pinto, and it was a malfunctioning piece of junk! He got rid of it after only a year and a half.
Our next door neighbor bought a Pinto Stationwagon. I remember my dad forbidding us to ride in it 😂. Was it Pintos or Vega’s that had a penchant for catching fire if rear ended?

You sure know your cultural history! We're guessing you're old enough to have lived through all this. Or maybe you're just super smart about history!

Tough quiz but good, also interesting!!
Not to nitpick, but the 1971 Pinto was released in 1970 (the “car model year” at that time always started in the fall of the previous year). Since there is no “Year Zero” on the calendar, the first decade A.D. (the first ten year period) was years 1-10. So that means that years that end in zero are the end of a decade not the start - 1970 is the last year of the 1960s decade (1961-1970).
* Okay! 8th 20th century decade began in 1971 BUT Decade referred to as "The 70's" began in 1970!
Very thorough!
* 1970 was indeed final year of the 7th 20th century decade "The 60s" BUT it was 1st year of the decade we refer to as "the 70's"
I'll go along with that. We started the 70's by moving to a house in a new town - July 4, 1970, to be exact. And that's how our whole family remembers it.

(For the record: Born in 1962, I was a toddler during the years of the of the oldest answers -- so a little deductive reasoning had 5o come into play.)

Would have been 12 out of 14 but I went by the picture on one and should have read the caption.

#7: I remember that Jim Rockford on The Rockford Files (1975) once mentioned you could mail a letter for a dime. Ethel Mertz remarked that a stamp was three cents in a Connecticut episode (1957).
