The over 35 Trivia Quiz

Because I am surrounded by people who were born so recently that I’m feeling allot older than I really am, because I don’t want to refer to shows and movies that went off the air a decade before most of my co-workers were born, and most of all, because I had some free time and wanted to kill an hour, I came up with the over 35 TV quiz.

Very few people under 35 should be able to get most of these (no fair looking it up!).

And if nothing else, maybe it’ll spur some memories for the rest of us.

Anyway – have fun with it.

Well, I'm 0 for 10. BUT - in my own defense I don't watch alot of TV and my mom just didn't decide to have babies when those shows were on.

Yikes! I only got one right. I knew the WKRP one and that was it.

That was THE funniest show. I still laugh when I think about some of the episodes.

Still haven't heard a word from the girls! Sigh!

When I saw Cuppa's pic come up, I didn't have to guess very hard at her comment. Funny, I have thought of that show a few times just lately.

Maybe they're just not shows that every crossed the border?

You really wanna feal ancient, remember: we were all standing in line for Star Wars

Being too young is NOT a bad thing at all! Sometimes we just need to remind ourselves that what happened yesterday really wasn't as recent as we believe.
