I missed the one about George Jetson.
I knew he didn't work in a rock quarry and I thought he was an accountant.
I was wrong about him being an accountant.

If green is good, then 10/10
8/10..... missed the jetsons and the invaders questions. Hate the jetsons and not sure ive ever seen the invaders
8/10, missed the "Jetsons" and "Land of the Giants" questions. I put down "Accountant" for George. I haven't seen "LOTG" since it went off the air in the Seventies. Was the Spindrift just like an airliner? I thought it was some sort of scientific ship like on "Lost in Space".
"Spindrift" was the name of the ship they were on.
It was like today's airliners that went from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
It was not a scientific ship like "LIS".
I missed the "Jetsons" question also and for the same reason.
I thought George was an accountant, but he wasn't.

5/10 Another bad one.
The Invaders? Don't remember that one.
"The Invaders" is on every Saturday night at 12:00AM on......you guessed it, MeTV.
Admiral Nelson was also a marine biologist, and an engineer, since he designed the Seaview.
MeTV should have had another answer - "all of the above".
Except for the 'billionaire explorer' part. The Nelson Institute had to be funded by the government and by grants from scientific organizations, so I'm guessing that nelson personally wasn't a billionaire.
agreed
9/10, did not know what George Jetson did. But whatever he did, he did it badly because Mr.Spacely was always yelling at him.
Could this mean the Invaders will be coming to METV!!!! Hope so...Great show!!!!!
Perhaps...it would be perfect for Sci-Fi Saturday!
Excellent idea!!!!! METV I hope are you are reading these.
Obviously, they did.
The Invaders has been on Saturday nights at 12:00AM since May 4th.

I was 4/10.
7/10! A few of these were tricky! 1 was obvious because Bones kept telling everyone what he wasn't! I knew 3 didn't work in a quarry [that was Fred Flintstone] but I couldn't decide between the other 2. I never saw 7, and even though I know every TZ I got 8 only because the other answers were so wrong for that episode. I should have gotten 10 based on '60's sexism, but perhaps I was confusing Betty with Uhura! Not physically of course Stephanie...LOL!!
Did you say what you said to me, because I called you out on the fact that you didn't know the difference between Velma and Daphne? You failed to notice what they were wearing, or something like that?
With regards to George Jetson: after seeing the choices, I was surprised they didn't put in the competition: Cogswell Cogs. They could've had as the choice: "Cogswell Cogs Accountant." Oh well....!

That was a callback to Diff'rent Strokes , not Scooby Doo! Remember when I mixed up Wally and Willis? I knew that Mr. Spacely was George's boss and Cogswell was Spacely's rival, I only remember George sleeping at his desk at the end of the opening!
