Where To Watch
Was this a No. 1 television show in the 1950s, the 1960s or the 1970s?
Try to place these top-rated titles into the correct decade!
In 1950, Nielsen Media Research began compiling its ratings of the top shows on television. For the past 70 seasons, networks have been scrapping for that No. 1 spot. And at the end of each season, one fortunate title has sat atop the throne.
The following dozen titles were all the highest-rated series of a television season sometime between 1950 and 1979. (Only Gunsmoke spanned decades, ranking No. 1 from 1957–58 to 1960–61.)
See if you can place them into the correct decade. Good luck!

11 out of 12. I missed Marcus Welby M.D.
Otherwise known as "Make Us Sickby". (Sorry, I didn't care for the show).
10 out of 12. I missed Welby - no surprise I guess, and Laugh-In (one of my favorites) only because my mouse wheel slipped and clicked the wrong dates. Oh Well.

I hated it too. My older sister won out (she controlled the kids TV set, lol), and I did everything an younger brother could to make her unfocused on the show. :-)
8 out of 12...I can live with that.
I am so happy to see these old shows still exist every day. It reminds me so much of, growing up and having fun.

12 out of 12. Since I don't remember watching Texaco Star Theater and the $64,000 question, I guessed they had to have been on when I was very young. I remember watching I Love Lucy when I was a child because my parents watched it.
