Thread: How many did you get right?

Tweet

I dunno, I only missed 2 at the tender age of 35...... Of course I only knew the other ones by chance. If you asked me other questions from the era that weren't related too much to pop culture, I would have probably failed them miserably.

Anyway, the ones I missed were the "Good Night Chet" and the "Peter Pan" questions. I had no clue on either of them.....At first I figured the Good night thing must have been from the Waltons; but the names in the choices didn't seem right. Later I saw that it had to do with the news casters. It figures though that I would miss the Brinkely one.

I remember watching Cronkite and Chancellor before they retired and Rather and Brokaw took over for them; but never really watched Brinkley much.

Mainly because I don't remember his NBC days hardley at all other than the fact that he had worked for them. I'm just too young for that one I guess. Anyway, I really only remember him being on ABC at the time and our local ABC affiliate was located about 70 miles away from my house. As such the channel just barely came in with a lot of snow and static and you could never quite see what was going on because either the signal was simply too weak or our antenna just wasn't good enough at that particular frequency to receive a clear signal.

On a side note, regarding our poor reception of ABC's signal, I remember trying to watch the Miami Dolphins play the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl one year in the 80's. It's the only time for sure that I know that ABC was broadcasting the game because it didn't come in clear at our house. I couldn't tell you which network broadcast which superbowl or any other major event beyond that one, and it's only because the signal was horrible that I remember that it was ABC that broadcast that particular game.

Anyway thanks for making me feel older than I really am. When I was in my teens that always felt good.....now though... I'm not so sure it's that great of a deal.

Cheers,
Dutch

Thanks.....And that would explain why I had no clue, never been a fan of network news.

I got an 80, and the wife got a 90, and were both under 40!
