	"Cosby" should be acceptable for Cosby/Rashad. Not because I'm too lazy to type out "Cosby Show" but because there was another sitcom called just "Cosby" in which they played husband and wife. I was going to make a similar comment in reverse about taking "Newhart" for "The Bob Newhart Show" but then I remembered the "some only briefly."

	Ahh, "The Nanny"... how could I ever forget?

	Only 7.9% knew The Flintstones, but 63.4% knew Boy Meets World? I'm getting old!

	I just watched an episode of "The Dick Van Dyke Show"! Thanks for making my day again, Sporcle!

	Loved the Quiz, The Flinstones should have a note saying that it was their voices.

	Kaasa:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 04:46 GMT		7 points
	Boy Meets World and Married...With Children. Well done, you get 5 Sporcles from me!

	I am surprised Mr.Belvedere was recognized, after all Bob Uecker did a lot of funny Miller Lite commercials.

	The Munsters! Yes! So much better than the Addams Family.

	@acroarcs: Actually, Bob Newhart and Suzanne Pleshette played a married couple (the Hartleys) in "The Bob Newhart Show" (which ran from 1972-1978) while he and Mary Frann played a married couple (the Loudons) on "Newhart" (which ran from 1982-1990). The final "Newhart" episode shocker/gag with Pleshette was an homage to the earlier series but Pleshette WAS Bob Newhart's "tv wife" for more than just "briefly." (In fact, Newhart had a third TV wife, Carlene Watkins, on his short-lived series, "Bob.")

	@BamaRainbow: That's why it was the comment in reverse - the quiz took "Newhart" when it should have taken only "The Bob Newhart Show" except for the brief (or not brief, as you put it) point at the end of the series where it turned out Newhart/Pleshette were the actually married couple.

	12 minutes? Really? Nice variety of shows here though. Thanks to the contributor for this quiz.

	imclala:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 15:13 GMT		2 points
	Nice quiz. My only comment is that the show is The Mary Tyler Moore Show, not just Mary Tyler Moore.

	Bob91351:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 15:28 GMT		11 points
	Way too much time, but, no matter how long I had, I was never going to get Fred and Wilma's voice actors...

	UncleArther:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 15:30 GMT		6 points
	Great quiz, Had a lot of fun with it. Yes maybe shave a couple of minutes off the time.

	spolonsky:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 15:47 GMT		6 points
	Hey, arguably you need to give credit to "All in the Family" for "The Jeffersons" because they were married on that show too!

	jaypunkrawk:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 16:00 GMT		6 points
	Probably way too much time. I had all but the 3 I didn't know with 9:45 left.

	More nitpicking, but could you put an * after Alan Reed as well? I was racking my brains trying to think of an animated/live action show.

	jaybird33:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 02:24 GMT		2 points
	this is an outstanding quiz. i do agree with huey, though, i was trying to figure out a live action/cartoon show. Does that make pathetic? Yeah, I thought so.

	jaspa:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 04:19 GMT		5 points
	Oh I see what you did there using Fred & Ethel instead of the obvious Ricky & Lucy. How very clever, Sporcle.

	I loved that The Flintstones was included. I knew it without even looking at what the asterisk meant. Great quiz.

	Poque:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 12:35 GMT		3 points
	Very fun quiz! One minor gripe - "Bob Newhart" is accepted for "The Bob Newhart Show" but "Dick Van Dyke" is not accepted for "The Dick Van Dyke Show". Loved the inclusion of Wings.

	I'm psyched! First time I got all the answers, with 6:45 to spare. I can't believe ANYBODY missed Leave It To Beaver or I Love Lucy, though.
