15/16. The last one got me.
13, the last few were tough.
A lot of westerns I could care less about.
14/16
Only one wrong. I’m happy with that
Almost all except the Lola Albright and Which Western ones.
I was never into Black Beauty/National Velvet type shows. I believe National Velvet (the original movie with Elizabeth Taylor) put the idea of riding a horse like the wind into my grandma's mind, leading her to do so and receive a life changing head injury. I'm more of a Pete and Gladys type gal. (I understand why they have to air Saved by the Bell -it's an E/I law- but I truly wish they could put it on earlier and air something like Pete and Gladys, Donna Reed, etc. on Sundays. But not Leave it to Beaver either.)
I got 16/16 and I honestly knew and watched all these shows
12 out of 16. My favorite show from 1961 is "Leave it to Beaver."
Perfect 16/16 but I admit to guessing on a few.
14/16 not bad since it was 5 years before I was born but I love watching these old shows.
You got 15 out of 16
Did you come out on top? What was your favorite show from 1961?
Missed #16

15/16. Itchy trigger finger on one of the easiest ones--Rawhide!
No comment by myself at this time.
13/16.
15/16. Missed the last one.
You know, Pete & Gladys might be a sitcom rip for METV.
Just saying.

15 out of 16 I guess being 66 pays off. My favorite show though was I Love Lucy
Gunsmoke
I've seen most if not all episodes of Ironside, loved the (final as it turned out) movie The Return Of Ironside and quite a few episodes of Perry Mason and most of those movies. However, I do not recall ever combining Raymond Burr and the term "smoky eye" in the same sentence in my life. (No disrespect intended, sir...no, I don't know where Sergeant Brown is...yes, sir, I'll go find out, right away, sir...)
16/16 not bad considering I was born in 1970 🤪
