When I saw "Those were the Days" I imagined the Mary Hopkin song. Rats. If it said, "Boy, the way Glen Miller played" I totally would have gotten it, though I realize the correct title is displayed.

Isn't it funny how you can sit there and sing the lyrics, but have a tough time putting the tv show title to it?!!

3 or 4 (at least) of these were not written specifically for the show. Interesting.

I thought sure that "My Life" was the theme for "My So-Called Life"... and I always didnt get "Fall Guy", since it seemed too obvious

Fun quiz but you could have included so many more, like "Boss of Me" (Malcolm in the Middle), "Welcome Back" (Welcome Back Kotter) and "With a Little Help from My Friends" (The Wonder Years).

14/18. Missed MTM, Sopranos, Scrubs and Veronica Mars. It's no fluke that three of those are modern shows.

The only downside to this for me was that it was a short quiz that had too much time given. I would give it 5 globes if it was twice as long or if the time was cut in half, but I'll still give it a 4!

I disagree with putting Veronica Mars and Sopranos on here, but then again, I can create my own quiz if I don't like it that much.

You should include any one of the Who songs used in the CSI franchise - "Who Are You?"; "We Won't Get Fooled Again"; "Baba O'Riley"

Awesome quiz -- I got all right away except one -- The Sopranos. (Never saw it; never had HBO.) I love theme songs. I'm amazed you chose all shows I knew except for one. @ the person who said "My Life" is from Providence: that was "In My Life," a cover of a Beatles song, and I was so mad when they used an awful cover of a great song for that terrible show. ("My Life" is a Billy Joel song.)

Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free-ee-ee. Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be? Believe it or not, it's just me. Ear worm, ear worm, ear worm. *grumble*

Pff! Woooow. I knew The Dukes, and spent the rest of the quiz guessing TV shows I knew were popular. For "thank you for being a friend", all I could hear was Lenny from The Simpsons singing that line at his banquet. Shows you how much live-action TV I watch...(I'm all toons.) XD
