📺 If You Pass This “Jeopardy” Quiz About Classic TV, You Must Be Older Than 40

Your TV viewing habits are more than a little revealing.
2 comments

This Jeopardy!-style quiz will test your knowledge of television shows from the golden era of TV. This is when television was television, not the streaming services and binge-watching fiasco that we know of today. When you watched these shows, you had to sit through commercial breaks. You couldn’t rewind, pause, or fast-forward. Whatever was on the screen was what you got, and some of these shows were very good.

If you retained a lot of information about television’s classic shows then you might do pretty well on this quiz. Don’t get too overconfident, however, as some of these questions do get pretty difficult. You’ll have to be a fan of Jeopardy! in addition to being a television expert if you want to pass or score perfectly. If you do manage to get a perfect score on this quiz, then we are quite certain that you are of a certain age to be very familiar with the shows from those years.
