Great news this morning - I'm under 40.
ReplyDeleteAccording to this quiz, I'm under 40. YAY! I haven't felt this young in several years. :)
ReplyDeletei got two and i'm over fifty. fail!
ReplyDeleteI got three wrong and yes, I'm over 60. Fun quiz.
ReplyDeleteI'm 72, knew only Carol Burnett. Seeing the answers, however, I realize why I never watched TV then or now. It's nice to know I test out "middle aged."
ReplyDeleteI'm 62 and I failed this quiz. Go figure. After seeing the answers some of them I remembered, but not many.
ReplyDeleteI'm the new 40!
Have a fabulous day. ☺
I didn't know any, but I should have known Carol Burnett -- I thought it was Jack Benny!
ReplyDeleteUGH! I only got one right, even though I'm 63. I guess I've never been a big TV watcher.
ReplyDeleteGREAT blog!
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm at least 50. :) - And I totally agree Lola!
ReplyDeleteI'm 50 but am A) from the UK and B) have a shit memory. Nil points.
ReplyDeleteI only got 1, 2, 4, 10, and half of 6 - and I'm only 29!
ReplyDeleteAs a follow-up, I once won a pair of tickets to a Byrds' concert for correctly responding to a radio quiz. I identified Jack Larson as Jimmy Olsen.
ReplyDeleteForget the calendar, according to this I am only 50. Plan to go jogging right after I convince my body I am not 75.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to participate.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as how your quiz puts me (INCORRECTLY!) over 60, I have the urge to rush out and buy a hairnet, a shawl, and a heavy purse. You can find me on a park bench waiting for Tyrone F. Horneigh.
ReplyDeleteClearly you have a great future writing those Facebook quizzes! You know, answer ten questions and the results tell you how old you are, what kind of dog you would be, what color your aura is, what President you would be, what famous royalty in history you are, etc.
ReplyDeleteGo for it - apply for that job right now. Retirement is not all it's cracked up to be!
:-p
P.S. I only got the Carol Burnett one. That's because I didn't come to the States until 1980. The only way I learned about the "June Cleaver housewife" expression, for example, was through reruns on TBS.
DeleteOne. 49.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow, I'm 74 and I only got two right. I don't know what age that makes me. I can't figure out the scoring system. Oh, oh, oh, this is so hard. Uh-oh. This may mean dementia is setting in.
ReplyDeleteI only got 2--40s. Jonathan Winters was great!
ReplyDeleteI'm over 60 and could only answer one question. And I got it wrong!
ReplyDeleteOh this was fun. I got numbers 2, 5, half of 6, 8, 9 and 10 correct. I'm 59.
ReplyDeleteChuckles the Clown's funeral was one of the funniest television scenes ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92I04DkMEps
Good Morning World. My sister used to watch it. I initially had the name confused for a different one which I liked back around the same time - My World and Welcome To it. Do you remember that one based on stories and drawings of James Thurber?
