	I could do more of these, though they are very time consuming! Does anyone have suggestions on how to improve the format? What years would people like to see? This seemed like a good year to start as it's not TOO far back and contains a number of well-known and long-running shows. The problem with more recent lineups is the number of networks increase; at the same time, shows are cancelled much more quickly, so many of the fall lineup shows are little-remembered. Plus, networks are getting away from definite fall schedules.

	Great quiz, but you made a couple of mistakes--there have been two shows called Snoops, one of them starring Gina Gershon, but the 1989 version starred Tim Reid and his wife, Daphne Maxwell Reid. Also, Unsolved Mysteries was hosted by Robert Stack from the late 1980s through the 1990s. Farina has only been host of new episodes. And 20/20 has a slash in between. I think that should be counted as a right answer. Despite all of these comments, I really enjoyed this quiz. It brought back a lot of memories. I'd stick with the 1980s and 1990s for future quizzes. Keep up the good work!

	@bobkat74 - thanks so much and great to hear from a TV guru! I thought it was Stack but, along with Snoops, my IMDB querying was faulty. That's what I get for writing quizzes when I should be working! For 20/20, I used the wrong forward slash replacement in the quiz editor - all are now fixed!

	Nick Mancuso was the lead character in Mancuso, FBI, but he was played by Robert Loggia, not Nick Mancuso. The real Nick Mancuso was understandably unhappy about the character name.

	Excellent quiz. This was back when people actually watched network TV!

	Brought back some memories...and it was a good year to pick!

	Look at Saturday night on NBC - those were all solid comedies. Now Saturday is a throwaway night, mostly for us to catch up on DVR.

	Arbogast:	May 10th, 2010 at 02:42 GMT	3 points
	Fantastic quiz! More please!

	moviegoer74:	May 10th, 2010 at 17:02 GMT	2 points
	I would be more forgiving on the movies or leave them out. I tried variations of NBC Sunday Night movie etc and none of them worked because I was including the word "Night" I guess. And judging by the "most missed" many people are just not hitting the correct phrasing even though we all basically know it. This is particularly the case since none of these weekly movies had a name. If every Sunday night was an action movie and NBC called it Action Movie Theater or something (such as ABS did with the revolving mysteries on Saturday night), that would be different. Other than that I like the quiz a lot. But fix Mancuso.

	yippeeyappee:	May 10th, 2010 at 19:26 GMT	3 points
	Thanks for playing everyone; I had been discouraged from making another, as it didn't get many plays for a long time. See my above note re selecting a year for a sequel, and let me know what year you think would work best! Mancuso is fixed and the movies are more lenient.

	schrempf11:	May 10th, 2010 at 22:12 GMT	3 points
	Awesome quiz. If I had to choose any year of tv to go back and watch now, this would definitely be it.

	bubafatt:	May 10th, 2010 at 23:16 GMT	2 points
	excellent quiz, although i am a little confused on abc news with connie chung being on cbs. please do something in the early 90's, maybe 93 or 94, although anything would be appreciated. thanks.

	great quiz! I had some good laughs remembering some of those. I think Booker with Greico was the worst show ever.

	Love the concept. Hate the look. Would rather have seen "Group by Same Hint" with 4 columns, one for each network, then seven rows (one per day). To really get bonus marks, use line breaks to keep the same time slots going right across the page. The data would look like this: ABC Sunday \| Life Goes On \| 7:00 Drama - Kellie Martin ABC Sunday \| Free Spiirt \| 8:00 Comedy - Corinne Bohrer ABC Sunday \| Homeroom \| 8:30 Comedy - Jahary Bennett ABC Sunday \| ABC Sunday Movie / Movie \| 9:00 Movie CBS Sunday \| 60 Minutes / sixty minutes \| 7:00 Current Affairs - Morley Safer etc. I'd love to see a sequel in that format.

	I've done a quiz in the format I described above for the upcoming fall lineup. See http://www.sporcle.com/games/rockgolf/prime_time_2010

	I wonder how many saw Jon Cryer's name and typed by default Two and a Half Men

	Good quiz, though pretty nails hard for people in the UK.
