I got 5 out of 15!
Well, you definitely knew the stars from these shows, but like many, struggled a bit when it came to the supporting characters that were not as popular – so we don’t blame you! You are probably just getting absorbed watching reruns of MacGyver all day or feeding your obsession with Betty White, which is okay! However, it’s time to browse your cable channels to find the stations showing glorious reruns of Charles in Charge and ALF, because it’s time for you to brush up on what was the greatest decade of the sitcom era.
Share this quiz with your friends and let’s see how well they remember!
