Guess the 1950’s TV Show by Theme Song! Ultimate 50's TV Challenge!

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Hey 70s TV Fans. We'll be dropping our 1970's: Volume TWO, TV Theme Songs quiz later today. Stay tuned........

[@dawnliphard9591]

12/16 surprised my self considering I wasn't around for any of the 50s😅

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

That's awesome! It's always great to surprise yourself with your knowledge! Thanks so much for playing!!

[@Michael-i8t5c]

I wasn't born until September 1959 but thanks to reruns and DVDs I only miss 3. Burns and Allen, Red Skelton and Peter Gunn.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

That is a good score. And this was a much harder quiz (thats why I left a few more clues in this one.)

[@Driven2Beers]

Wasn't born until late June of 1964 (missed being a Gen-Xer by 7 months) yet I was flabbergasted that I actually got 12 of them right!

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

That’s a great score. The 50’s quiz is a hard one. Thanks for playing and come back anytime.

[@twilagitschlag5662]

Got 11 correct not bad considering I wasn’t even born yet

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

That is a great score. The 50’s quiz is a lot harder than the other decades. Thanks for Playing.

[@DonnaSimpson-vv1fo]

You give away the answer when you tell who the stars were

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Hi. I considered it both ways. And when you watch the 60's quiz or the 70's quiz, you'll see I did not give too many clues. But in this vid, the 1950's tv quiz, I thought folks might need a bit more of a nudge, as, in my opinion, these are a lot harder to get. So, yes, I agree with you. But it was done with intention :-)

[@DonnaSimpson-vv1fo]

@@PopCultureQuizzes_ Guess I am just old because I knew the answer before the music began! LOL!

[@jimmeade2976]

I'm old but not that old. I'm surprised I got 11/16 right. The year and cast hints helped; without them, I only knew 7 shows, most of them because they were also in the 60s.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

I'm "a little" old too. I added the extra hints for the 1950's quiz for that exact reason. They are harder to get. When you play the the 60's quiz or the 70's quiz, you'll see I did not give those clues. Its just the theme music, then the tick-tick-tick! Thanks for your thoughts.

[@muzluv33]

Got 12 out of 16.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

I think this is a good score. These shows from the 50's are a lot harder to get, than those from the 70's or 80's. Nice work!!

[@rickkelly1839]

12/16 this one was a little tougher

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Yes it was tougher. Actually, thats why I added a few more clues. And it is still one of the hardest. I guess we don't stream these 50's shows that much. Thanks for playing, here at PCQ...

[@bergy-62]

14 of 16

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Another very good score, and these 50's shows are harder, I think, to get, as we don't see so many of the streaming as much. Thanks for playing.

[@pamelaflanigan5935]

i got all 16 tv shows.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Awesome! Aced both this quiz and the 1970's Quiz. Well done!!

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Hey PCQ'ers, we just dropped the 1950's TV Challenge quiz. We added a few more clues to this game, as 1950's shows are a bit more obscure. Good Luck and have fun! And as always, thanks for playing!!!

[@keithperkins3798]

13/16. I missed Burns and Allen, Red Skelton, and the Danny Thomas Show. Not bad for someone born in 1966.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Not bad at all! You've got quite a good knowledge of classic TV shows! The 70's quiz is a lot, well, easier.

[@victorsimon4545]

9 of 16. Too many I hadn't seen😊

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Ahh. No worries. This 50's video quiz is the hardest. It was such a long time ago. Try the other decades. The 60s and the 70s and the 80s.

[@tommyt150]

American Bandstand may have premiered in 1952, but the theme song you are using was written by Barry Manilow, who would have been nine years old at the time.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

I love your comment. You’re funny. I also appreciate you keeping us honest here at PCQ!! I try to research this stuff but I’ll make a few mistakes along the way.

[@tommyt150]

@@PopCultureQuizzes_ Keep up the good work! I enjoy quizzes like these. They do, however, make me feel old .....

[@kennethquarles4117]

13/16... not bad for someone born in 1971

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Absolutely. This 50's quiz is one of the hardest. so very nice work.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Not bad at all! You're proving that age is just a number!

[@kennethquarles4117]

@@PopCultureQuizzes_ thanks

[@98Dougmorris]

15/16! missed the first one. was born in 1972.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Crazy good. On all 3 quizzes. Thanks so much for playing. I have a new quiz coming out today. I think you'll do great on it. But I'm not letting on yet, to its subject!!

[@Mike-zs7bk]

15 only missed Burns and Allen

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Looks like Burns and Allen were playing hard to get. Great work on getting 15. 1950's shows are harder. They had Theme music, but most of us are not streaming those shows, like we do later shows...Thanks for playing our quiz. It means a lot!

[@Mike-zs7bk]

@@PopCultureQuizzes_ I was born in 1951 haven't streamed any of them I actually remember watching them!!

[@jeffm1975]

13/16 Not bad considering I stumbled out of the gave never having seen Burns and Allen, Red Skelton, nor Danny Thomas.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Yeah, I know. A lot of the 50's TV shows are just not watched any more. The later shows, from later decades, are streaming all the time. You really have to look for these 50's shows. So 13 is a really good score!!

[@TrevorStockbridge-vl7zr]

What about the honeymooners, car 54

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

You're right... There are lots and lots of TV shows, in all these decades. Its hard to get them all in! But I'll add these two, to the list for future...Promise!

[@Pete7330]

9 of 16. Must have been studying too hard in school.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Hopefully the studying paid off in ways that matter, right? And the 1950's TV is much 'less known' than shows from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Thanks for playing. We appreciate you.

[@Kiddman32]

12/16... Two I shoulda nailed, but didn't.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

I do love your honesty. Would be easy to just fib and say you gott'em all. Truth prevails!! Thanks for joining us here.

[@marybickner4964]

The quizzes are fun, but when you are doing theme songs of the shows the other music you play before and when giving the answer is very disconcerting. Thank you

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

Ok. I love feedback. Thanks. I'll see about turning it down in future quizzes, so its not so loud. Again, thanks for the comments.

[@mirandak3273]

What I heard was just noise not the familiar Peter Gun theme.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

So sorry. KZbin made me scrub that audio track for copyright reasons. Such is life. Thanks for playing.

[@chucks2018]

Seems like cheating - most of the ones I knew were from the actor's names, before the music started.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

I get that. We struggled with keeping the "clues" in the script, or not. For the other quizzes, we don't do that. But for the 50's game, we thought folks might appreciate a bit of help, as those shows are a lot harder to guess. Thanks for your thoughts, and thanks for playing.

[@jaredmatthew201]

​@@PopCultureQuizzes_ if people are taking this quiz, they probably know something about the 50's.

[@farawaydeb]

The music in between the shows was distracting. Clues made it too easy. I missed Peter Gunn

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

That’s for the honest feedback. Very helpful. (We offered clues in this quiz because we thought a lot of people might be less familiar with these 50’s shows. We did not include clues in the other decade quizzes. ).

[@jaredmatthew201]

If you want people to guess it by the song, you shouldn't give hints.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

I agree with you, actually. And in the quizzes for 60's, 70's and 80's, we didn't. But for the 50's quiz, that we concluded was a bit harder, we decided to...Some like it, some, not so much. I do appreciate your feedback...very much. Only with you'all give me feedback, can these quizzes get better. So, Thanks very much! \

[@ellensippel8413]

Please don't talk about the show before you play the sound clip.

[@PopCultureQuizzes_]

I appreciate your comment. You will notice we did not give any clues ahead of the music clip in the other quizzes. But we decided, for this 1950s quiz, to give some clues as we thought a lot of folks would be much less familiar with 50’s TV shows. Thanks so much for playing.
