"The Brady Bunch" aired from 1969 to 1974 on ABC, producing 117 colored episodes. Robert Reed and Florence Henderson starred as Mike and Carol Brady. In the series, Mike and Carol, who each had three kids from previous marriages, got married, which left six kids living under one roof. Alice was their faithful housekeeper.

Other characters were Sam, Alice's boyfriend; Tiger, the Brady's pet dog; and Oliver, Carol's nephew who stayed with the Bradys in the later episodes. There were several spin-offs, including "The Brady Kids," an animated series about the adventures of the six Brady kids, and "The Brady Brides," which centered around Marcia and Jan Brady and their husbands. Also, there were two feature films: "The Brady Bunch Movie" (1995) and "A Very Brady Sequel" (1996) and a few TV movies, with "A Very Brady Christmas" being the most notable one.

"Diff'rent Strokes" ran from 1978 to 1986 on NBC from 1978 to 1985 and ABC from 1985 to 1986, producing 189 colored episodes. Phillip Drummond was a wealthy widower who lived in a New York penthouse and had a daughter named Kimberly. When his close African American housekeeper died, he took in her sons, Arnold and Willis Jackson, who were also without a father and previously lived in Harlem. Even though Willis had doubts, they became a strong family. Mrs. Garrett was their loving housekeeper for season one before moving on to her own series, "The Facts of Life," which was a spin-off of "Diff'rent Strokes," inspired by the episode called "The Girls School (a.k.a.) Garrett's Girls."

Answer: Adam

"Bewitched" ran from 1964 to 1972 on ABC, producing 74 black and white episodes and 180 colored episodes. Elizabeth Montgomery played Samantha Stephens, who was a strong-willed woman and--oh, yeah--a witch! She married Darrin Stephens (who was played by Dick York in seasons one through five and Dick Sargent in seasons six through eight), which most of her family disapproved of, especially her mother, Endora, who made frequent appearances on the series. Darrin wanted them to be a normal, mortal family, and Sam worked hard to not twitch her nose, but that didn't prevent members of her family to recite spells.

The only member of the family who seemed to approve of Darrin was Sam's Aunt Clara, a sweet woman who constantly messed up on her spells and witchcraft. Darrin, though, tolerated this because he loved Sam. Gladys, who was very nosey, and Abner Kravitz were the Stephens' neighbors.

The last main character was Darrin's boss (he worked in advertising), Larry Tate. The Stephens' two kids were Tabitha, who was half-witch and didn't listen to Sam when telling her not to use her witchcraft, and Adam, who appeared in the later episodes in not as large a role as Tabitha.

Answer: False

Alice Pearce appeared in the black and white episodes of "Bewitched" as Gladys Kravitz from 1964 to 1966. After dying of ovarian cancer shortly thereafter, she was replaced by Sandra Gould in the colored episodes.

Answer: None of these

In this particular episode, Gilligan was being pressured to choose the winner of the beauty contest on the island. Skipper backed up Ginger, the Professor wanted Mary Ann to win, and Mr. Howell obviously gave the vote to his wife, so Gilligan had to select the winner.

He ended up voting for a female gorilla he met on the island. "Gilligan's Island" ran from 1964 to 1967 on CBS. Seven people went on a boat tour, and a storm caused them to get stranded on a desert island. Many episodes of the show ended with a potential way to get off the island, but Gilligan always seemed to accidentally spoil the attempts.

"The Munsters" aried from 1964 to 1966 on CBS, producing 70 black and white episodes. This was a show about a creepy family who thought they were normal and lived on 1313 Mockingbird Lane. Herman, who resembled Frankenstein's monster, and Lily were the father and mother. Grandpa resembled Count Dracula and was Lily's father.

He was born and raised in Transylvania and was a mad scientist, always experimenting in his lab. Marilyn was Lily's niece who was the normal-looking member of the family and went to college.

The rest of the family thought Marilyn was handicapped because she looked different from them and not beautiful (on the outside). Eddie was Lily and Herman's son who looked like a warewolf. "The Munsters" and its creepy counterpart, "The Addams Family," both lasted two years and finished their network run within a week of each other.

Answer: seven

"Green Acres" ran from 1965 to 1971 on CBS. Oliver Wendell Douglas was a successful New York lawyer who lived with his wife, Lisa, who was originally from Hungary, in a fancy New York penthouse. Oliver had always dreamed of being a farmer and living in the country and hated the noise, crowds, polluted air, and rude people in New York. One day, Oliver announced to Lisa that they would be moving to Hooterville, and Lisa was appalled but promise she'd try it out for six months (obviously, they ended up staying longer than six months!). Lisa had trouble adjusting to life in the country, for she had never cooked or done virtually any housework whatsoever.

She usually made "hotcakes" for breakfast, though I don't think they were really edible. Life in Hooterville wasn't the luxurious one she'd experienced in New York.

Their home and farm were relatively rundown. Oliver bought it from Mr. Haney, who always tried to talk him into buying a new useless gradget. Fred and Doris Ziffel were proud to be the parents of Arnold Ziffel, the famous pig.

Other characters were Sam Drucker, who ran the General Store; Hank Kimball, a very confused man who repeated himself often; and Eb Dawson, a young man who helped Oliver in the fields. "Petticoat Junction," which included Frank Cady as Sam Drucker once again, was a spin-off.

"I Dream of Jeannie" aired from 1965 to 1970 on NBC, producing 30 black and white episodes and 109 colored episodes. Barbara Eden starred as Jeannie, Larry Hagman portrayed Major Anthony "Tony" Nelson, and Bill Daily played Major Roger Healey. Major Nelson landed on a desert island while on a space mission.

There, he found a bottle, and when he opened it, he found a beautiful, 2,000-year-old genie named Jeannie. Tony would now be her "Master," and she would grant him any wishes he wanted. She used her powers to get them back to Cocoa Beach, which was where Tony lived, and stayed with him in his home, often getting him into trouble, especially with Dr. Bellows. Major Healey was Tony's best friend and colleague and was the only other person who knew about Jeannie. You could tell Jeannie loved Tony all through the series, and they finally married in the final season. Also, Barbara Eden played Jeannie's wicked sister in nine episodes and her mother in two.

Answer: 23%

"I Love Lucy" is one of the best shows in TV history, and Lucille Ball was arguably the most famous female comedian. It ran from 1951 to 1957 on CBS. The show starred Lucille Ball (Lucy) and Desi Arnaz (Ricky), who were married in real life until filing for divorce after the show ended, Vivian Vance (Ethel), and William Frawley (Fred). Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz appeared on the cover of the first issue of the "TV Guide." The show centered around the Ricardos: Ricky, a Cuban bandleader, and Lucy, a homemaker, and their landlords and best friends, Fred and Ethel Mertz. Lucy frequently wanted to get into Ricky's shows at the nightclub and would come up with wild schemes after Ricky said no.

She was also known for her famous red hair, love of shopping, and awful singing, even though she claimed she had talent. Ricky worked at the Tropicana nightclub for most of the series. Fred and Ethel were constantly at each other's throats and only shared a few tender moments throughout the series (in fact, Vivian Vance and William Frawley hated each other in real life).

The Ricardos and Mertzes lived in an apartment building on East 68th Street until they moved to the country in the final season. Little Ricky was the new addition in the second season.
