Your TV viewing habits are more than a little revealing.

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 couldnโ€™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 televisionโ€™s classic shows then you might do pretty well on this quiz. Donโ€™t get too overconfident, however, as some of these questions do get pretty difficult. Youโ€™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.
