A Hint	Answer	% Correct
A show with quickly falling ratings. To stem the looming tide of bankruptcy they introduced a new character. The actor must have thought all his Christmas' had come at once. All he had to do was wear a black leather jacket over a white T-shirt... talk like someone who has just undergone a lobotomy... and say "Hey!"	Happy Days	83%
Two moronic women work on a production line in a brewery. To make the show even more unpalatable... their boyfriends' make them look like they are graduates of Harvard.	Laverne and Shirley	83%
A well known show. Its first few seasons gained a wide audience by the wit and idealism of the central character. In later seasons the character became the personification of everything he abhorred in the beginning.	MAS*H	83%
A show that also tried to address the issues of racial and social barriers. Classroom. Handsome student but an idiot. Jewish boy who whines annoyingly. African American who only wants to do is steal hubcaps. Italian student who talks and acts like Chico Marx. The title theme became widely popular.	Welcome Back Kotter	83%
An inept secret agent. So inept... that even as a seven-year-old boy... I left the room in embarrassment.	Get Smart	67%
Before this show... the ship's doctor was the reason we watched the answer below.	Love Boat	67%
A car with a flag painted on its roof that is politically incorrect today. Young teenagers, like myself... only watched it when the sister was in the episode. Cut off denims.	The Dukes of Hazard	67%
A rather weird show. All the promotional advertisements ended with the statement "He is just trying to get into Daddy's will!"	Dallas	50%
A bunch of obviously rich-family-tied people congegrate in a coffee shop to discuss things as possibly world moving as the colour of the dress Lady Gaga MIGHT wear at next year's Academy Awards.	Friends	50%
A show that tried to usurp one of the above for its high profit margin. Brought an English actress in, to speak seductively. By the time the actress appeared in an episode in black stockings, most viewers were bored with both shows.	Dynasty	33%
Western frontier. The two central characters are thieving opportunists. Their CO is an idiot. The token female character is direly in love with the CO. Some of the best moments in the show are when the two central characters go to the Indian camp to trade. Sorry! Native American camp... oops.	F Troop	33%
A dog with a long snout saves everybody from the darker side of his/her thoughts by rescuing a cat from a well.	Lassie	33%
A bunch of retarded war veterans and a jeep. Need I say more?	The A Team	33%
A show that was celebrated for its brilliant effort at trying to break down racial and social barriers... alas... we are now back to square one.	The Cosby Show	33%
A narcisstic teenager uses his high intelligence to brow beat his parents and siblings.	Family Ties	17%
A working class man who loves his family... when it suits his purpose...	Married With Children	17%

A show about an imposter who takes over a detective agency just by smiling and singing 'Danny Boy'.	Remington Steele	17%
A man with serious problems of how to break his filial duty. Most viewers stayed tuned to the show in the hope that his wife would have an extra-marital affair with his brother.	Everybody Loves Raymond	0%
What an Australian soldier addresses an officer as, with the intent of showing respect to him and also his contempt for him.	Gilligan's Island	0%
A really likeable character. Retarded perhaps. The show revolved around his father trying to teach him morality when dealing with people. Another part of the show was him verbally trying to belittle his sister.	Good Times	0%
