How Well Do You Remember These Shows From the 60s? Trivia Challenge - 30 Questions!

[@pamh.5705]

Got 100%. Born in '53. And, btw, that last question was "The Ghost AND Mrs. Muir" not the "The Ghost OF Mrs. Muir"!

[@TriviaCountdown]

I agree, it was an accidental mistype on my part. Thank you for letting me know!

[@alanosterman7130]

Remember their pet dog's name ?

[@TriviaCountdown]

@@alanosterman7130 Of course! Scruffy!

[@avlisk]

@@alanosterman7130 The quiz was too easy just naming the shows. Naming the characters would have provided a bit more difficulty. Did you notice it was fake Ginger? (I was born 1951, so this quiz was in my "wheel house".)

[@andrewthornhill7042]

​@@avlisk The photo was from the first movie, not the TV series.

[@raydunn2582]

30 for 30 and didn't need the multiple choice. Brings back many memories of a childhood spent in front of a TV.

[@52156drj]

Same. After the first two I just started naming them.

[@questfortruth665]

If you're old enough to have grown up with these shows, you got them all right! With only three tv stations at the time, there wasn't much of a chance you couldn't nail them all.

[@barbaraarther5878]

30

[@aspenrebel]

Then there was PBS. Then here in Boston added 38 n 56.

[@stanwolenski9541]

Lived in the NYC metro area, channels 2-4-5-7-9-11-13 in the 50’s

[@tomtransport]

Lived in Phila. at the time VHF 3, 6, 10, 12, UHF 17, 29, 48.😃

[@gdj6298]

Most of them were known in the UK as well, with the possible exception of That Girl and Mr Rogers.

[@KCAlden]

I got them all right. I'll always be a classic tv fan, the shows were so wholesome and decent. I miss living in that decade.

[@gnirolnamlerf593]

Loved a lot of those shows, if not all. Loved great drama anthology series, like Route 66. Didn't love the 1968 Democratic Convention, race riots across the country, Vietnam War and Cold War, so I don't miss living in that decade. My mother used to wax poetic about the Depression when "everyone was in the same boat." I reminded her of the life she had after her father died in the middle of it. With few exceptions, the good ol' days weren't all that good. What we can say with all of these shows is that there weren't six plots going on simultaneously, each given three to four minutes at a time for which each main actor gets paid $100,000-$200,000 or more per episode. I'm not sure whether producers, writers and directors are catering to a public that has the attention span of a puppy, or whether the public has the attention span of a puppy because they've been trained to have the attention span of a puppy by producers, writers and directors over the past quarter century or so. But that's where we are today.

[@ewaleokadia76]

I would have gotten all 30 right if I didn't confuse Mission Impossible with Get Smart😑. It was so many years ago that I watched both shows, especially in reruns, that I goofed🥴.

[@KCAlden]

@@gnirolnamlerf593 I was just a kid and not aware of civil rights, Vietnam, etc. I remember seeing a coffin covered with an American flag that might have been Bobby Kennedy's funeral. I miss that decade because, from a child's perspective, it was carefree with no problems.

[@josephasner171]

I got them al right. I love those old classics.

[@steventheabcandsometimesd6865]

Yes they were held to strict standards back then. Males and females were not on camera together in a bed.

[@guidichris]

Born April 1960. Got em all. That's "The Ghost AND Mrs. Muir"!!!

[@stevencooper2464]

I grew up watching most of these shows first-run; and now I have some of them on DVD. Those were the golden years of TV.

[@ronnie6902]

I got them all correct. If you grew up in the 1960's, it was easy. Those were the days! Thanks.

[@bonniechance2357]

Got them all! Didn't even need to look at the options. It was like a slideshow of my childhood.

[@adalbertosanchez3051]

I got all of them right 👍, wow I miss all those shows, I grew up in the 60s and saw them all

[@antoinettewitt2098]

Got all of them right. So sad that many of them are gone now but they left behind wonderful memories.

[@steventheabcandsometimesd6865]

Ron Howard is still around.

[@aspenrebel]

"That Girl" still alive, Jeannie? I think Dick Van Dyke is still alive. Carol Burnett, and her side kick gal. Jethro. Is Gavin Mcleod still alive? Danno? Addams Family little girl just died. 3 Sons???

[@lynesmith9203]

Brought back some great memories! Did not need the multiple choice got 100% Still watch these shows when they occasionally pop up on some channel. Wish they would make shows like this now. Wonderful escapism from today's stresses!

[@greg33770]

Easy !!! Grew up watching them all !!

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

Didn’t need the hints. I got them all. Born in 1953. Miss the wholesomeness of these shows.

[@thomasharding1838]

Wholesomeness! Oh Yeah! Like the theme from Green Acres. He, "You Are My WIFE!" She, "Goodbye, City Life!"

[@davidtaylor8002]

I got them all right. I still enjoy watching many of these shows.

[@marlenejones6266]

Where do you watch them?

[@marjieyoung9570]

100% What a fun quiz. I didn't need the multiple choice at the bottom. I love these shows. 😊

[@vitom5513]

I covered the choices up with a piece of paper. Unnecessary.

[@JayH7745]

30 out of 30 correct. I watched every single one of these television shows, every episode over and over again with the exception of Batman, but you'd have to be a fool not to recognize that show and it's cast. 60's television was absolutely wonderful! 🤗

[@aspenrebel]

No green hornet.

[@romano4190]

Got them all right! I’m a ‘60s, ‘70s kid.

[@andrewrae2813]

[@teresaschneider6726]

I got 100% right. I love Classic TV shows 😊❤👏🏼👍

[@marylamb7707]

I watched too much tv. This quiz was like asking what color are my own eyes. 😝

[@aspenrebel]

Yeah I could have done this quiz with my eyes closed.

[@ivanleterror9158]

Got em all before looking down at the multiple choice. But liked the info on how and what years they were on.

[@lindaoharris]

I remembered them all. Lots of memories of great shows

[@latoshawhite8495]

The classic tv shows never gets old and I love it

[@conniesteele7213]

Got them all correct. Wish there was more wholesome programming today.

[@aaronwilkerson7100]

That was fun! I was born 12/12/1960 So, it was pretty easy Nice trip down memory lane!

[@aspenrebel]

Memory lane? Most shows on TV all the time. I get home from work and they get Green Acres on.

[@johnscanlan9335]

I immediately knew them all without even having to think about any of them!

[@gregorylambrihgt2757]

[@dwainb777]

Got all of them right. These were great wholesome TV shows. I miss them today.

[@jamesrinehart3034]

At my age, I watched them all and knew them all. Some of them brought back memories.

[@kokseyfoo6777]

It brought back unforgettable memories of popular black and white TV shows followed by coloured ones. Moreover, the background music enlivened my guessing of the TV shows of the 60s. Thank you for sharing the good old days of the sixties TV shows in my golden years!👌🙏🙏

[@josephasner171]

I got them all right. I am and will forever be a classic tv(1960s)fan.

[@beverlyjohnson5503]

I enjoy your trivia took me back to my child hood we had all the good shows 🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️🥰🤩😍

[@rgrif777]

I got them all correct. You picked the most popular TV shows of the 60s and that is great, but I remember shows like Ben Casey, It's About Time, Dr. Kildare, Mr. Terrific, Burke's Law, Lawman, and many others. Some other popular ones were The Lucy Show, Dragnet, Mr. Ed, The Banana Splits, The Rifleman, Wagon Train, and many more. Captain Kangaroo got me off to school every morning.

[@aspenrebel]

A number of those shows are not very good.

[@aspenrebel]

Time Tunnel, Bonanza, Wanted: Dead or Alive, The Big Valley.

[@billwilson1916]

Perfect score!!

[@elc1960]

30/30 - Pretty easy quiz, not at all difficult to get them all right. Most of these shows are still shown on a daily basis on some channels somewhere in the USA.

[@davidwells7412]

Really fun!! I got them all😊.

[@WELIVEWEDIEOMY]

WOW! What a wonderful trip down memory lane with beautiful images for each show!! Got them all right! THANK YOU!!!

100%. Hey, I’m in my late seventies- was there for those shows!!😅

[@anthonymitchell6831]

I was born in 1958. This was easy but enjoyed seeing the images. Thanks!

[@bogo2304]

So many entertaining shows in those days. Now is all the same. Glorified cops pointing guns etc. time to get back to basics and give us clean comedy and realistic family friendly shows.

[@patriciamillin-j3s]

I get your point, but were they actually “realistic”, though? Don’t a lot of TV shows today reflect more of what family life actually looks like, while the old shows portrayed families as very harmonious, apple pie and Pleasantville? Wasn’t a show like Roseanne actually a better portrayal of what working class families look like?

[@LeafsAndCars]

Depends how you LOOK at it! MASH ALL IN THE FAMILY , JUST A COUPLE OF BLACK COMEDIES( BOTH FUNNY AND SERIOUS AT THE SAME TIME) FROM OVER HALF A CENTURY AGO!

[@carblarson8868]

Some current shows are better than movies, bcos you have time to build characters. I include shows that are made for streaming mostly. So I would say some shows are excellent, but you are correct in saying their is a lot of junk on TV these days. Reality shows are cheap to make, so that is what they put on. I’m amazed that anyone watches them, though.

[@LeafsAndCars]

@@carblarson8868 depends what your favorite shows are. For me I watch hockey( Toronto maple leafs). STAR TREk Picard, MURDOCH MYSTERIES, HUDSON AND REX AND BONES! MY WIFE LIKES ALL OF THOSE PLUS THE Y AND R, THE GOOD DOCTOR AND DOC MARTIN.

[@patriciamillin-j3s]

@@carblarson8868 I agree that current shows have better characters. I loved the old shows from back then, but when I compare the “realness” of those shows to todays shows, shows today definitely are ahead. I also find actors these days much more realistic than they were back then. Method acting and learning their trade from the ground up has certainly helped to create really good actors. My brother loves old movies, and though some are good to watch, I always tell him that I don’t find the actors to be very realistic. Cary Grant, for example, was like a piece of wood, no sense of realness to his portrayal of characters.

[@Dreamflight820]

I got them all right, I use to watch all of the shows when I was a teenage! 🤔

[@evie7845]

Of course I got them all right as I was born in 1950 and we only had 3 channels to watch!!!🤣♥️🤣

[@janeteargle-pm6tx]

I got them all right. I use to watch most of them.

[@sharennyberg7795]

Judging by the comments guess my 30/30 was normal. Classic shows !!

[@1256JAN]

Got them all right. Love the old shows, still watch them on certain networks.

[@Davidraisedsimmentalcows.]

Great memories of variety of TV shows. Fun times and went away with good feelings. 30/30

Not hard to remember them all ! Loved watching them all ! Just goes to show how old we are !there are a few reall good ones the missed ! Like Dobie Gillis Or Sally Fields in Gigit and the flying nun !

#30 -- The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

[@daryljarvis5679]

Shows were so good back then.Glad I lived when I did!

[@latetotheparty4785]

I didn’t realize it in the 60s, but Eva Gabor on Green Acres had the most incredible fashion sense. She had elegant-casual down.

[@aspenrebel]

She was gorgeous.

[@MrRaasfv]

Got them all right when T.V. Was good clean and fun

[@johnwood551]

All 30 ,who wouldn’t. Oh I mean who wouldn’t if your 70 like me. I loved all those shows. It’s amazing how short lived some of those were but are still being seen in reruns every year. And the new sitcoms which are just smut based go on and on and on buy aren’t really memorable. Thanks for the memories !

[@eleanorgliddon256]

I’m 89,needless to say,I saw all the TV shows from the time they broadcast until today ,when I can’t find to many shows that are that interesting.glad Imlived in the heyday if TV

[@dawnhernandez9228]

Once again I got them all!

[@EloiseBarker-py9fh]

I got them all right because I watched them in the 60's. Thought The Man from U. N. C. L. E. would have been on the list or even Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Loved that yellow flying sub they had.

[@crazyabby4177]

30. So many that I watched as a child, and many more I still watch to this day.

The Ghost AND Mrs. Muir

[@TriviaCountdown]

I loved the show and the movie. One of the things my mom and I did growing up was watch old shows and movies. So it had to be in there.

[@jerryfarmer5737]

Correct,it was not Mrs. Muir's ghost.

Interesting trivia about Hogan’s Heroes…Everyone who had a role on the German side was Jewish.

It was so much fun guessing all 30 of the 60 s shows correctly!!😀

[@rox2346]

Got them all right! We didn’t have anything else to do in the 60s except watch TV in the evenings

[@dawnkindnesscountsmost5991]

30/30. I immediately recognized 27 of them, and correctly guessed the other 3 through photo context and process of elimination of the two incorrect titles. I saw a lot of these shows in syndication in the1970s, my elementary school years; many aired "after school," in the (usually) two-hour window between the daytime soaps and the local news.

[@aylaeh]

And nickelodeon played several of these even until the eighties. That is how I watched the monkees.

[@kathleenirish8516]

Got them all. Great memories!!

[@johnnitis228]

Got all 30. Too bad the quiz doesn't record your choices for final tabulation. Was hoping to see Doc Tari, Patty Duke show and Dark Shadows.

[@jamesespey249]

error in spelling...it's spelled DAKTARI.

30/30. I grew up watching these shows. A nice stroll down memory lane.

[@rick5793]

Ah the memories, 100%

[@kristalparsons5473]

all of them...I watched a LOT of tv while growing up!

[@sciencechus7243]

A couple of mistakes: #8 should be "Rescue from Gilligan's Island" which was aired in 1978. Ginger is played by Judith Baldwin who is pictured in the still. Tina Louise played Ginger on the original Gilligan's Island. Also the answer to #30 was listed as Ghost of Mrs. Muir and it should be The Ghost & Mrs. Muir.

[@hume6900]

# 8. was actually the original series from the 1960’s called Gilligan’s Island.

[@dk9619]

​@@hume6900nope, that was not Tina Louise

[@mrsangiebeaudion]

I got them all right. I really like those shows.

[@patriciamillin-j3s]

28/30, despite the fact that a few of those shows weren’t shown where I lived at the time. I saw some later in the 80s on cable TV (The Monkees, Green Acres, The Munsters, The Addams Family), others again I never saw, like Gilligan’s Island and Petticoat Junction. I got to see That Girl for the first time about 1 or 2 years ago on Amazon Prime. The ones we did get to see were Bewitched, Star Trek, Lost In Space, F-Troop, The Beverly Hillbillies, Mission Impossible, Hawaii 5.0 and a few more. I did read a lot of American teen magazines in the 60s and knew some of them from there. Despite being a huge Monkees fan at the time, as a 13-15 year-old, I never actually got to see the shows until the 1980s.

[@billysteadman399]

Born in 57. Watched all of those shows at one time or another. 🙂

[@timjackson5680]

They have been repeated so many times, that even kids of today could name them.

[@TriviaCountdown]

@TimJackson - That was me with Nick at Night back in the day. That punishment for sneaking tv to watch the second half of a two-part Get Smart show was still worth it.

[@billofjazz]

Got them all. I saw them first run.

[@DG-uh8uv]

I also got every one of them. That was probably the decade that I actually watched TV. Once I got into my teens, I didn’t watch TV that much anymore. Fortunately, I watched TV during one of the best decades in television. A lot of these shows are shown as reruns on many different channels, and when I watch them now I notice how many sexist and racist remarks were considered normal at that time. Unfortunately, television shows have gotten pretty bad, but at least that’s one of the things that has improved.

[@Darryl_Frost]

That was fun, and thanks for bringing back some old memories.

[@cindyhutchins5532]
