	Well, it Addams Family, so I suspect you mistyped the other one too. And an extra minute would be nice!!!!

	Abner2xday:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 15:44 GMT		2 points
	Five minutes is not fair fr this quiz. That's six seconds per question to read and type

	deacontaylor:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 15:50 GMT		4 points
	this was really fun. only missed 6. was not expecting to get that many at all. didnt know the tony curtis show at all. i dont recognise the name

	moviegoer74:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 15:58 GMT		25 points
	Roots was a mini-series. Doesn't make it wrong to include it per se, but it does seem sort of out of place because, unless I'm mistaken as to the one or two I'm not familiar with, all 49 of the other shows are "regular" shows.

	Speaking of television....RIP Andy Griffith...legendary man

	Can't believe so few people got Top Cat. It made "dibble" a slang term for the police.

	moviegoer74:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 16:04 GMT		1 point
	One other point: the question says 1961-2011 but that would be 51 years. The quiz stops at 2010.

	TOP CAT. Wooooh! I loved that show as a kid.

	RobbieFowler:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 16:06 GMT		8 points
	Only 23% got Magnum, PI? Oh the humanity ...

	not long enough

	It's inconsistent to accept the short versions of some times (Xena, Buffy, Scooby Doo) and not others (3rd Rock, Star Trek).

	It makes me sad how few people guessed Firefly :(

	IronFirefly:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 16:25 GMT		1 point
	did it really not take 6 feet under? I swear i tried that.

	rlargent:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 16:26 GMT		12 points
	Please accept "TNG" for Star Trek The Next Generation. Also, I'm amazed at how many people couldn't get what show Philip J. Fry is on...

	SteelyMatt:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 16:29 GMT		-2 points
	Far too many HBO/Showtime types of shows at the end.

	Flick:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 16:40 GMT		2 points
	@rockgolf: another minute added @Josh: 3rd/third rock accepted as a shortened version.

	I know that I am obsessed when the only question I get is the X files. I need a new hobby

	shorlin:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 16:45 GMT		1 point
	Ah, the 90s, when my two favourite shows both began with the letter "X".

	Got the first twelve but none of the last nine.

	Most new TV shows suck. They should jazz them up with nudity, maybe then I'd watch.

	cocky:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 19:22 GMT		1 point
	Star Trek was a different show than the one used in this game.

	Leroy573:	Jul 3rd, 2012 at 19:22 GMT		3 points
	Sure are a lot of vampires in this quiz.

	Does Roots really count as a tv show? I'd classify it as a miniseries.

	There has to be something less obscure that premiered in 1973. I'll grant Kojak (the other one I missed), but I've never even heard of The Persuaders.

	The Tony Curtis series was British. Roger Moore also starred in it. Top Cat was billed as 'Boss Cat' in the UK because the BBC couldn't appear to be advertising a brand of cat food - rather inconsistently, they didn't dub all mentions of 'Top' with 'Boss' or address him as 'BC'.

	retrogirl85:	Jul 4th, 2012 at 07:53 GMT		3 points
	Yes, I have the quibbles about HBO and obscure shows too, but...you made my day by including Scott Bakula and Quantum Leap, so it's all good :)
