Let's see how memorable the opening lines of classic TV shows were.

First impressions are everything. Or are they?

Do the most iconic television shows in history have memorable openings? That's what we were wondering. We rewound some classic TV series back to the very beginning — to the first scene that audiences ever saw on their screens. 

For the most part, these opening lines of dialogue were spoken by major characters. For the most part. But we don't want to give too much away.

See if you can get more than 10 correct on this TV quiz. It gets harder. If you succeed, you are a true expert!
