Great work! From ‘Bewitched’, to ‘Bonanza’, to ‘Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.’ – you have completely mastered 60s TV Trivia! It takes a real 60s TV lover, or an insane memory, to be crowned a true 60s TV Trivia Guru, and you did it! Congratulations! Most people remember Andy Taylor, Ben Cartwright, or even Samantha, but not all of the above. Maybe you’re still watching glorious reruns of My Three Sons or The Dick Van Dyke Show, who knows? But whatever you’re doing, you’ve kept the glory days of 60s TV close to heart. Think your friends are up to the test?
Share this quiz with your friends, family, and fellow 60s lovers and let’s see how well they do!
I`ve seen a fair few of these shows, I was born in 1960 & I remember watching these when I was a kid.

I didn’t watch any of these shows. My parents kept the TV under strict control!

What is the relevant message from The Prisoner? We’re being watched?? In any event, I’m not worrying about it.
