Mike

No surprise I guess since I was 77 on 06 Jan! :boohoo

[Pete]

Most of them I didn't even need to read the answers.

Had to think a bit on the "yellow out" one though.

[x SF med]

Hell - I got 100% - and I'm not that old, I mean TS is the same age as me, that's really not old, is it?

[lksteve]

100%...and that is with spending several of my formative years away from television...

[x SF med]

100%...and that is with spending several of my formative years away from television...

Yeah, but you really are old, unlike TS and me.:p:D

[lksteve]

Yeah, but you really are old, unlike TS and me.So noted...

[PSM]

[Red Flag 1]

I am old and I do fart! Thanks for the short jog down memory lane.

RF 1

[emoore]

I was only able to remember 17 so I'm just a little old -- my wife and I was talking about buying some Columbo tapes and my 18 year old asked "who's Columbo?"

[Rogue]

19 outta 20

Missed #4

I am old :eek:

[GratefulCitizen]

Missed 4, 5, and 15.

I'm assuming 4 is referring to the Waltons.
Guessed between Chet and Steve. Guessed wrong.

5 was a "DOH!" moment after I read the answer.

I knew 15 was a woman, and I could remember the face, but not the name.
(I can match the faces and names for Doris Day and Sally Fields...would've gotten it by process of elimination if my SA wasn't impaired by a nightcap:o)


Not quite an old fart yet...
(I did get carded buying alcohol 18 months ago :p )

[SilkRider32]

I got 16 right, missed 4,6,11, & 15.:(

[Dad]

I missed # 10 and i have no idea what it is from. Help?

[The Reaper]

I missed # 10 and i have no idea what it is from. Help?

You must be the only person in the world to have never seen The Wizard of Oz.

My kids can answer that one.

[Dad]

I am 57, seen it at least 20 times and hated it every time. Must be a mental block

[Goggles Pizano]

I am 57, seen it at least 20 times and hated it every time. Must be a mental block

Only 20? Sheesh with two kids I can recite the damned script! And yes, I do hate the movie now. :D

18 out of 20.

[lksteve]

I'm assuming 4 is referring to the Waltons.
Guessed between Chet and Steve. Guessed wrong.NBC News with Huntley and Brinkley, as a matter of fact...

[Richard]

For the FOGs--who sang #5? :p

Also, for my generation, we sang, "You'll wonder where the yellow went...when you drop THE BOMB on the Orient!" :munchin

Richard - Class of '68

[GratefulCitizen]

NBC News with Huntley and Brinkley, as a matter of fact...


Not only the wrong target...the wrong firing range. :rolleyes:

[lksteve]

Not only the wrong target...the wrong firing range. You'll get old soon enough...;)

[Shar]

Not only the wrong target...the wrong firing range. :rolleyes:

Oh I totally thought that was the reference too. :o And I had all of them except for that and Peter Pan.

Didn't want you to think you were alone on that other range.
