This test was sent to me, and I though it was a piece of cake.  I got 19 of 20, and the one I missed was a stupid mistake.

The header says that the average is 12 right answers.  I find that hard to believe, or, I am showing my ancient status ...

This is NOT a pushover test.   There are 20 questions.

Average score is 12.   It will help if you are over 60!  This one will be difficult for the younger set.

I believe the answer to your first question is Robert Zimmerman and Gilligan.

People name dogs, imaginary friends... why not bugs (not the bunny).

I got 19 of 20 (missed #4) and Im 36.  Not too bad.

Egad.  I'm old.

I got all 20--and I could even sing all the jingles.

Now I've got "It's Howdy-Doody Time" running through my head.  Thanks for the brain worm.   :-/

Best,

George

Hee.he..he
I think Gilligan was Bob Denver and John Denvers plane run out of gas. :D RIP John

Got 19  -- missed #10 -- guess I had a "senior moment" on that one.

Yeah -- know what you mean - I've got, "You'll wonder where the yellow went....." running thru my brain -- Thanks Chuckles....

Imagine my horror when I took my 14 y/o shopping and all the styles were an 80's flashbacks, LEGWARMERS are even back UGH.

I never thought I'd live long enough to see fashions come back around *sigh* (at least I don't have to buy new clothes now hehe)

Cat

eta: should have expected when they started singing to remixes of ABBA

I got 19 right.  I missed #4.

Well, I got 18 right.  Good Lord Cat, hiphuggers and bell bottoms are/were back in.  Can't wait until Nehru Jackets and paisley shirts came back  ;).

LOL Carolyn, the bellbottoms cracked me up.  But they are now passe (can't make the accent I'm too lazy) and Andrea had to have jeans that were tight as paint from hip to ankle.  At least they still have the hip huggers - if paisley comes back I'm locking myself inside - I've always hated paisley LOL.

It's hilarious when they come up and play a song for us, expecting us to recoil - it's now called progressive metal, and I play back Ozzy or Judas Priest and their eyes about bug out of their heads, I love it ;)

Some things never change, just the manner which they listen to them :)

HIYA Cat!

16...I ain't old or smart. At least that what the voices in my head tells me.  :)
TomM

Only six out of twenty...... am I excused for being European (most of it I've never ever hears of)? Or maybe for only turning 34 in december?
Anyway, that must've been the worst test outcome in forever  :(.

I got 19 out of 20... the good night Chet thing is lost on me.  The rest were really easy.

Oh Fubar ... Now's you've really made me FEEL OLD!! Ya just had to be around during the black and white days of 30 minute nightly news I guess.... ya know back when it was Howdy Doody Time :-/ :-/

And what's WRONG with paisley? Have a closet full of it.. But I'd probably break my neck on the platform shoes... :)

To use a quote that I stole from WIKIPEDIA:


Quote:

This success soon led to the team replacing Swayze on the network's nightly news program. It was decided to have the two men co-anchor the show; Huntley from New York City, Brinkley from Washington, DC. The Huntley-Brinkley Report began in October 1956 and was soon a ratings success. Huntley and Brinkley's catchphrase closing of "Good night, Chet" - "Good night, David... and good night for NBC News" was developed by the show's producer, Reuven Frank. The sign-off became famous (although both men disliked it).

Chuck

got 19.........missed #3

Only 12. I think I had a few lucky guesses too!!

For Jason and any others who don't know who John Denver was.

Also, he stared in the first Oh God movie, with George Burns.

He was killed when the experimental plane, he was piloting, crashed ... Into the ocean, I think it was ...

Charlie,

Don't feel too bad!  "Don't trust anyone over 30" was usually attributed to Jerry Rubin following his arrest at the Democratic National Convention in 1968.  Best evidence, though, is that it was coined by Jack Weinberg at UC Berkeley in 1964 or '65.  I've never heard it attributed to Dylan!

Regards,
Jim

20 out of the 20 for me, What can I say, TV was cheap intertainment!                     :o :oJohn ::) ::)
