100%. we're the epitome of the boomer. ;)
I didn't know 4 & 15. What's that from?
That's from the Huntley-Brinkley report. I believe they were on NBC opposite Cronkite who was on CBS.
Hey Boom-Boom, me too :)
A.. Good night, Chet What's that from? lol......the Waltons.
" If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11
That would be Johnboy. ......can u name the rest?
I got all but two right and I'm less than a month away from my 45 birthday, so I don't know how accurate of a measurement this test is. It did make me feel old though. :(
I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. - Benjamin Franklin
Bashfully he admitted - 20 out 20 (even worse they were easy).

I got 17/20. Wrong on #'s 3,10, & 11. Could've sworn he said never trust anyone over 40. lol
I want either less corruption or more opportunity to participate in it. Ashleigh Brilliant
you never watched Peter Pan???
I missed #10. None of them didn't ring a bell.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepsodent Pepsodent was a very popular brand before the mid '50s, but its makers were slow to add fluoride to its formula to counter the rise of other highly promoted brands such as Crest and Gleem toothpaste by Procter & Gamble, and Colgate's eponymous product; sales of Pepsodent plummeted. Today Pepsodent is a “value brand” marketed primarily in discount stores and retails for roughly half the price of similarly-sized tubes of Crest or of Colgate. Pepsodent is still sold as a Unilever property in all markets except the United States and Canada.
Nope.
how about the wizard of oz?
Yeah.
hehehe.....Good Night John Boy. : )

Eff'it. I never could get to the stupid site.
Somewhere in Kenya, a village is missing its idiot.
Got 18 out of the 20. Missed #10 & #11. I hated Dylan and I don't know where # 11 comes from.
JT posted it right here.
Read through it all here, and all correct. Too easy for boomers. ;-)

I can't believe u didn't name ma n pa n granny n granpa....n wut about JimBob n Elizabeth? OR was that Beverly Hill Hillbillies? !! LOL. :)
it was grandma and grandpa Walton. Mary Ellen was the oldest girl. ok, there was John Boy, Jason, Ben, Erin, Jim Bob, and little Elizabeth. the mother was Olivia. ;P
I did not watch the waltons,but that test was waaaay too easy. 20 fer 20...What was the name of Skykings plane? What was his sidekick's name for his Jeep?His daughters name?
The Jeep was Nelly, and Skyking's daughter's name was Penny. yes?
i didn't watch Skyking regularly, so i don't remember. i liked Lassie and Fury when i was a kid.
The only jeep that I remember was "Nellybell" which was Pat Brady's jeep on Roy Rogers show.
Yeah, LAC, Nellybelle was Roy Rogers' Jeep. Who was Verne Albright?
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡ "The ground of liberty is to be gained by inches, and we must be contented to secure what we can get from time to time and eternally press forward for what is yet to get. It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good." -- Thomas Jefferson
That name doesn't register with me. Sorry!!!
LOL (A few wrong in this 'test' isn't such a bad thing :))
My Little Margie
Didn't watch that show. Nine of us in the family and only one black & white tv. We had to watch whatever the rest of the family wanted to see. I spent way more time outdoors, playing football, hunting, sledding, basketball and of course shoveling snow, weeding and hoeing in the garden and pushing that old reel mower cutting the grass,than watching tv.
I might have missed one or two but I didn't actually write it down. Most of them I got with out seeing what the choices were. I did miss the David Brinkly one but we didn't watch him. I did know where it came from I just didn't know the answer. too funny. I was born in 63 so sometimes I'm considered a boomer and sometimes not, depends on who is doing the list. I do not consider myself one.
Tough women come from New York, sweet women from Texas, prissy women from Southern California, but we NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WOMEN have fire & ice in our blood. We can ride 4-wheelers, be a princess, throw a left hook, pack heat, hunt with the men, bake a cake, love with passion, and if we have an opinion, you know you're going to hear it!! I think it came on in the evening? There was no daytime TV (maybe a Soap?). Most of the people on my block didn't have TVs, so they'd drop by when a show was on. Are u saying u didn't watch The Children's Hour on Saturday morning? "What's up froggie....Boing, Hiya Kids, Hiya Hiya..."
Wow, u did good then. '63 was my Freshman year in HS.
I never could get to the stupid site. Better get a smarter computer
