On which network did these shows initially air?

Was it ABC, NBC or CBS?

 

We all love talking about how there used to be three channels. Things were so much simpler back then! Cronkite was a newscaster we could trust, and we didn't get bogged down by the hundreds and hundreds of choices.

But can you tell those three channels apart? Do you know ABC from NBC? How about NBC from CBS? 

We'll name a show, and you tell us which network originally aired it! Good luck, and be sure to share your score in the comments section below.

  1. McHale's Navy
  2. Car 54, Where Are You?
  3. The Addams Family
  4. I Dream of Jeannie
  5. Hawaii Five-O
  6. The Flying Nun
  7. Sanford and Son
  8. The Partridge Family
  9. Kojak
  10. Chico and the Man
  11. The Incredible Hulk
  12. The Dukes of Hazzard
  13. Laverne & Shirley
  14. Family Ties
  15. Cagney & Lacey

14/15. Thrown by the very first one, as it seemed like a natural for CBS. Since "McHale's Navy" was from Universal Television, NBC would have been my second choice, since then as now that network aired a lot of Universal shows.

Thirteen out of fifteen. Not bad, considering several of these were before I was born or old enough to remember.

2/15 each and every one a guess. Never paid the slightest bit of attention to what network I was watching... or cared for that matter...

14/15, missed “Car 54”. I don’t think I’ve seen one episode of that show

The barbershop quartet episode with Jan Murray is a riot.

12/15. A lot of guesses made by thinking of the nature of the show and what what kind of shows each network aired at the time. Got the older ones. The newer ones…eh, who cares?

9 out of 15

Started terribly but made up some ground once the shows entered the 70s and 80s
