4/10.
On Bonanza, the four main characters were listed equally. changing each week so that they all got equal billing.
So many spelling errors; you really should get better proofreaders IMHO
Wahoo!!!
Three out of ten!!!

The order of the main cast at the beginning of "Bonanza" rotated each week

How MeTV posed the Quiz is confusing. Did they mean the order of the opening credits (like starring )? OR the opening sequence (which by the way, in rare cases can be simultaneous with opening credits)? Here's the difference. ST:TOS opens the episode with a scene "teaser" (absent of credits). Who appears in it, in what order, changes per episode. While credits are always the same. (For example, except where they bumped up DeForest Kelly following "starring" credit: William Shatner and "also starring" credit: Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly go "also Starring" named in third position.
Perry Mason changed their opening sequence over time. But initially followed this routine. The judge (obviously uncredited), Perry Mason standing, then walking over to the table. Where he shows the file to (sitting) Barbara Hale, Paul Drake, Hamilton Burger, and Lt. Tragg. Therefore Paul Drake would be third. (But we can't be positive, if the placement as 3rd, in that particular sequence, meant William Hopper was also third in compensation. No doubt Barbara Hale was second. But in this case, sometimes "billing" can be a significant contribution towards compensation. Whereas (for whatever reason, probably due to radio, stage and/or prior acting credits) it's "possible" Collins or Talman (at that time) could have been being paid more money. And that's why "billing" is such an important feature in stage work.
You misspelled Kelley. Do you work for MeTV?
Seriously? You can't understand "appears third in the opening credits" ??????
And you're a hateful asshole. Always.
You were right, and I was wrong.
8/10 really enjoyed this quiz....great job mr jones

i, remember most of the star's order's
Almost got them all. I got nine. Picked the wrong choice on the Diagnosis Murder question. I knew it had to be one or the other. Unlucky me. The last one I guessed.
I knew it was Schlatter because by that point, they started billing Barry Van Dyke with the 'and' credit (...and Barry Van Dyke as Lt. Steve Sloan).
