Can you get at least a 12 score on this?

20 without even trying (but don't ask me what I had for dinner yesterday).

How did you figure that, since their answer to #11 appears to be wrong?

"You rang!" was the one I was thinking of. He'd say "Work?!" if anyone mentioned the word "work."

And the Zelda word was "Propinquity."

"Over 30" was the best choice, even if wrong.

One of the secrets to multiple [-]guess[/-] choice tests is the process of elimination.

The answer was right, it was just the question that was wrong.

LOL - I guess that's the Alex Trebek view of things?

My memories of the Dobie Gillis show are mostly vague, with a few specifics stuck in my head. Can't recall if I saw it 'live' or the re-runs. I did have the impression it was pretty creative - Dobie giving his viewpoint directly to the audience as he sits by "The Thinker", not your typical sit-com in some ways. I remembered the beatnik and his name, and the 'you rang?' and 'Daddy-O', and that his Dad was a Grocer...


Anyway, a bit of googling and I found a few episodes here:

TV4u - Your source for online classic television

Hmmm, so the cute girl was Tuesday Weld - didn't know that. I think it holds up pretty well, guy wants girl, girl wants guy with money (or the ability to make money in this one clip). And Warren Beaty as the rich kid - didn't know that either, but then again they were not famous back then.

Interesting, the actress playing Dobie Gillis' mom is one of the patients in the Bob Newhart show.

Dobie's dad was a war vet~ Used to always saw "WWII, the big one" when refering to his militaty service.

I missed #10, where did that come from? I got 19 correct, and yes, I am old.....

 

[Fireup2020]

17 - but I'm only 40 and lots of those were before my time! Good thing the grandparents made me watch their TV with the old stuff on re-runs in the 70's!

 

[Nodak]

20 - but I also believe the Bob Dylan one is wrong. I apparently watched much too much TV

 

[TromboneAl]

We should plot # correct versus age.

 

[haha]

I got 17. The ones I missed were pure guesses, and I think dated from the 60s by which time I was gone from TV land. I checked out of TV other than sports by about 1956.

Ha

18 - missed #'s 10 and 11

Good Grief, we didn't get a TV until 1959 when I was 12.

By '56 I was up to my ears in highschool sports, trying to qualify for AP courses, and becoming acquainted with whatever is was that made girls smell so damn good. I did watch the fights with my Dad, and the NIT and NCAA tournaments.

As I remember we got our first TV when I was 10.

Ha

Um, from 1939? The Wizard of Oz? Possibly the most watched movie of all time? Just for a few hints.
