30. I was doing my patriotic duty back then . |
|
I was sailing around the world and back in the USN or out partying whenever I was on land so I wasn't taking notes and would probably fail this test miserably though I was absolutely out and about . :crazy:

but then, I'm an old fart from the 60's. I didn't pay much attention to pop culture in the 80's or 90's.

11. I have a horrible confession... |
|
I was a part of the market research that resulted in Alf being on TV. I was watching teh only episode I ever sat down to watch of Miami Vice (just to see what all the hubub was about) when the phone rang.
I answered it. They asked my name and how old I was and whether I wanted to participate and since I didn't have anything better to do I said yes. I spent a half hour on the phone answering questions about "would I watch a show with...". It was surreal not too long afterwards to see Alf on tv and realize that was teh show they were asking me about.

I only missed one music question and no potpourri ones, they need more questions like those. I've never been real big into movies or tv so i missed a lot of questions there. Plus I wasn't born till the end of 1982.

I was almost flawless on movies and music, but the TV questions really did me in. I didn't watch Smurfs or Growing Pains or Alf or Knight Rider ... and can't say that I'm sorry about it!

But then again, I guess I'm forgiven since I was born in 1982 and was only eight at the close of the decade.

God, I suck. What's really sad is that I knew all the answers pertaining to the "Dukes of Hazzard" and I NEVER once watched it (osmosis from my redneck friends, perhaps). I graduated HS in '84 and have never seen The Breakfast Club, an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard, and episode of Dallas, the list goes on. Ugh. I even got the "Live Aid" answer wrong. Shame.

Happy Days, Love Boat, and others were all 70's shows, weren't they?

BTW: I got an 84. I got all the music and potpourri ones right but made about the same # or errors in TV and movies.

Scored a 78, but I was 15 when the 80's started so some of the stuff was a little after my time. But I do remember some of it from my oldest son watching some of these shows.

sigh. I did pretty well at the music questions, but I must be one of the few people who never saw 16 Candles, Growing Pains, Transformers, Thundar (WTF?), The Smurfs, Fraggle Rock (huh?), Breakfast Club, Superfriends, Laverne and Shirley, Masters of the Universe, The Great Space Coaster (wha?), Spider Man and his Amazing Friends, Family Ties, Double Dare (eh?), Thundercats, and St. Elmo's Fire . And yes, I went back through the test so that I could note which shows I had never watched. Guess I didn't watch very much TV after high school (I graduated in '80). Does that mean that I grew up in the 70's? Ewwwwwww! That is it. Not a single question about Gilligan's Island!
