Here's the final of the series. This one goes way back, but there are some great shows here. If these shows not ringing a bell, try one of the other quizzes already published (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s or 2000s TV Shows by Actors) for a decade that's right for you. Thanks for playing.

Harry Morgan didn't join the cast of Dragnet until its revival in the 60s. In the 50s, it was Jack and Ben.

Some of these shows got their start on radio and then moved to television, changing some of the stars in the process.

Nice. The one I'm slapping my head over: Perry Mason. Most of the rest that I missed would never have occurred to me.

I liked that "Leave It To Beaver" is the first one on here, especially since Mrs. Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley) died last weekend. Seeing that and "Father Knows Best" we're reminded TV sure isn't the same anymore.

Should I be proud of myself that I got 27? Or does that just mean I am old and remember an awful lot of useless trivia??

Thanks for playing folks. I know this is tough. I made this one about two months ago to make the series complete, and I could only get about half of them. I hope it brought back a few memories for people. If not, tell your parents or grandparents to play this one.

I got 17. Not great, but not bad for being born 30+ years after most of these shows started LOL

Couldn't come up with Hawaiian Eye, since I was stuck in the 70s (and 10s) with Hawaii 5-O...
