Catch all these cartoon references!
Half the fun of watching cartoons as an adult is catching all the references that went over your head when you were a kid.
Here, we've mixed up references to classic TV shows we found on cartoons from the 1960s to the 1990s. Whether or not you know these animated series doesn't matter. Just analyze the scene and see if you can figure out which TV show is being spoofed in these 10 scenes.
Only the biggest TV fans can I.D. each and every scene. Others will struggle to see through the animated lines. Good luck!

10/10! easy quiz.

* It wasn't a cartoon but does anyone remember the Maverick episode that spoofed Bonanza with the dad seeking wives for his 3 sons? Moose and Small Paul Wheelwright? The Subrosa Ranch? Hilarious "Bonanza" parody with Bart squirming in the middle between three naive, pa-whipped brothers and their worldly mail-order brides from the Barbary Coast, after matchmaker Whittleseed (Willard Waterman) is murdered. Episode also has fine performances by Kasey Rogers, Jake Sheffield as the amorous Moose, and Jim Backus as the blustery pa of the Wheelwrights, who always stick together - and we even find out why they have to. "Three Queens Full" is adorned with splendidly over-the-top music too. ☺

too easy.............................10/10
7/10.
10 out of 10. The funny thing is, I think that car in #10 is the car they regularly have for one of the characters.
8/10. That CB Bears shot looks way more like "Welcome Back, Kotter" than "Happy Days" to me. And in the Daria shot, would Columbo have a car THAT clean and fancy?
10/10!
8/10
8/10. Suspected Columbo on the last one, but thought that would be too obvious.
9/10 Missed MASH. I would love to see that Flintstones episode.
I missed that one too. Since one character appeared to be in a cage, I guessed Hogan's Heroes.
I remembered "M*U*S*H". It stood for "Mangy Unwanted Shabby Heroes". The Hawkeye character sounded like Alan Alda while the Trapper John one talked like John Wayne.

Wow. I guess I should be glad I did so good.
Can you imagine what they have in store for people who get 5/10? Or less?
