I remember my grandfather had a book of Charels Addams cartoons, I was exposed to the Addams family way before the tv show came about.
9/10 Shame, shame, shame...
You got 8 out of 10
But we're all young at heart, right?
Never liked and still hate both LITB and Marble Comics.

9 out of 10. Missed the Frodi question, though(as if I cared about the Hobbit trilogy!). 😁😁😁😁😁

7/10. took me a couple of questions before I figured out that they counted debuts in books as well as radio and TV shows.

6/10 Quite average or less and knew Frodo from "The Hobbit" was in book form before film but chose Spock anyway.
7-10 , But allot of guessing
6/10
FOUL FOUL FOUL... You asked about Frodo...showed a picture from the movie and meant the book. Then it was unclear that the reference to Perry Mason was from the TV series or the Books? Again you showed Alvin the Chipmunk from the cartoon series that was clearly later than Dave Sevill's puppet trio from the fifties. And finally you ask about Buck Rogers showing Gil Gerard a much later reference than Buster Crabbe's version...which you could have pictured......Seems to me like a quiz of bait and switch. Shame on you.
Not their fault that you inferred wrongly. I didn't get fooled.
Not bad

I only got 6 out of 10. My excuse is that I started out thinking that we were only talking about appearances on TV.
I got the same, some trick questions in there!
From the opening paragraphs:
"Crime-solvers like Perry Mason and Batman appeared on the printed page years before they were on screens.

9/10 but got first wrong cuz i thought it was tv debuts....still mightve been wrong though
im sry got 2 wrong....frodo
5 OUT OF TEN , BUT I AS THINKING TV DEBUTES
9/10 missed #9
I dispute #7: although Addams Family cartoons debuted in the late 1930's, Wednesday didn't have a *name* until the TV show in 1964 (they decided on Wednesday because Wednesday's child is full of woe).
But the character still existed even though she didn't have a name.
9/10. #3.
