Let’s go back in time.
You are playing as a guest. Sign in to save your progress & unlock rewards!When feeling a bit nostalgic for days gone by, watching reruns of your favorite old sitcoms from the yesteryear can be both soothing and relaxing. The recipe of light-hearted tales, lavish costumes and reassuring morality from the golden days of television---even if they were mostly in black and white---takes us back to when we were kids and life was good and simple.
Shows like Bewitched, Gunsmoke, The Andy Griffith Show and The Beverly Hillbillies all enjoyed great runs. The Dick Van Dyke show won an Emmy just about every year it seems. Even without the modern technology of today, the sixties and seventies produced a number of good sci-fi series such as The Twilight Zone, Lost In Space, The Invaders, The Outer Limits and most notably, Star Trek.
What old sitcoms, dramas and other shows do you like to rewatch over and over? We've tested your knowledge of 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s TV series before, and for now, let's see how many of these retro shows you have seen at least an episode of.

I got 6 out of 24!
Looks like you haven’t caught most of these old TV shows. You’re either a young person, or perhaps you had other hobbies back then?
I was born in 1947. However, our family didn’t watch much television. Our favorite show was “The College Bowl.” We usually watched “The Ed Sullivan Show,” “The Phil Silvers Show,” “I Love Lucy,” and “The Honeymooners.” After school, I regularly watched “American Bandstand” and “Superman.” Later, I would watch “Batman” and “The Monkees.”

Only 6/24… but I’m in my seventies.
Many I’d never heard of, or was put off watching because they were American comedies, and US comedies are usually crap (exception being M.A.S.H.). Some I’ve heard of but thankfully they were never shown where I live (having heard about them).
It seems someone at Quizly has forgotten that the USA isn’t the only country that produces TV shows for the English speaking world’s consumption, ’cos only one of the featured shows wasn’t a US show… The Avengers, from the UK… and there were many far better shows than that around in the 50s, 60s, and 70s which hailed from the UK.
