12 out of 13. It helped that in most cases they had a show that was obvious older and one that was obviously younger.

5/13. I haven't watched cartoons since the late 60's/early 70's. Some of these I have never heard of. I don't know when a lot of the other shows started either. I have little sense of time. I pretty much got the ones that started when I was a kid and didn't have so many things crowded in my brain.

13/13. Got hung up on a couple, but, for the most part, I knew what shows DIDN'T premiere the same years as those cartoons.
