13 out of 16, I have never heard of the three I missed so they must not have made it across the pond. Happy with that score, misspent youth.

honestly? I can't say anything on this site anymore. Yeah, let's encourage the lazy bigots and career complainers who want to poo-poo literally every quiz on the site with any American stuff on it...

"Beverly Hills 90210" is accepted. "90210" is accepted. No one called the show "Beverly Hills".

I think the only reason that "In Living Color" is at the bottom is the "In".

Never heard of In Living Color. Perhaps it did not screen outside the US, which would explain why it is not widely known on Jet Punk. I knew all the others.

And to think I made it through the entire 1990s without having TV. Whether I should have been heckled by canned laughter everywhere I went is up for debate.

I definitely remember watching some of these shows during a specific age range, and that was during the last few years of the 80s. I'm not complaining - most of them lasted well into the 90s and had their heyday in the 90s. I was just confused at first! Like I KNOW I watched that show in 1988!

Missed Blossom and Murphy Brown, I def have heard the names before but never any clips or episodes ever.

I couldn't figure out the 90210 as kept guessing other teen dramas like 7th Heaven.

The rest got first try except ER second try.

Murphy Brown made headlines thanks to Vice President Dan "Mr. Potatoe” Quayle excoriating the show for positively portraying a pregnant, career-minded woman having a baby out of wedlock.

Never seen Punky Brewster or Blossom or Melrose place or Beverly Hills 90210. It's hard not to know Murphy Brown from her controversies, even if I only seen one show.

So… you’re saying you weren’t aware of these shows and now that you’ve seen screenshots they seem worse than British TV shows?

I'm lucky if I get 10% of the periodic table, but felt elite getting 16/16 on this lol.

Seriously though, a series of these would be awesome. The 90s sitcoms alone -- Martin, Step by Step, Family Matters, Mad About You, Dinosaurs -- would be at least a good 2-3 quizzes worth of material.

Can anyone get a sense of Jetpunk user age demographics from this?

I'd guess more people 25-35, than 35-45?

I think you're right about the demo. The drop-off between the 4th and 5th most guessed answer is interesting and telling.

I'm 45 and got them all.

I'm 44 and spent about a second identifying each and got them all. As someone who was a teenager/preteen when In Living Color was on, I can say without reservation that it was extremely popular in the US among people in my demo, when it was on.

If you're having trouble following the conversation you're not required to jump in. There's literally zero reason to interpret what I said as being touchy. Look at the title of the quiz. Look at Gozz's comment. Look up what Poe's Law is. Look at all 3 a few more times. Caught up now? I'm willing to give Gozz the benefit of the doubt (something else worth looking into) and assume he's being sarcastic.

Never heard of Quantum Leap. Never seen In Living Color, but I think I could have gotten in with a picture of more of the cast.

Homey the Clown was probably they most recognizable character from that show, if not Fire Marshall Bill.

Quantum Leap was about Scott Bakula jumping from body-to-body through time and space, randomly inhabiting different people facing some sort of crisis that he needed to fix before he could jump to the next body. Science fiction.

There is a reboot of Quantum Leap on this Fall. Don't know if it will make a second season. I watched the original but was unimpressed with the one recent episode I saw.
