Area52 TV Match Game

NOTICE: THIS SITE AND THIS CONTEST ARE CLOSED. YOU MAY TAKE THE QUIZ IF YOU LIKE BUT YOU WILL GET NEITHER THE ANSWERS OR A REPLY. I HOPE TO REMEDY THIS SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.

So you think you know TV?

Did you grow up with Johnboy and Laura Ingalls? Can you do the Teaberry Shuffle? Well, jump into this game and see how much you really know! The TV shows and commercials in these questions range from the birth of television to the present, but many of them are older than dirt. Each question has two lists: 1,2,3,4 and a,b,c,d. All you do is match the numbers to the letters. Easy, huh?? Well, saddle up, pardner, we're entering the TV Zone….

Here is a graphic that you can take just for trying:
