13/13. Way to easy.
12/13 I got #5 wrong. That was due to lack of attention to the year stated in the introduction. Mea culpa.
12/13. Not bad. I blew it on #12. Book me Danno!
You got 10 out of 13
What keen detective skills you have! You could recognize these TV stars from a police sketch. Nice work!

13 correct.
13 out of 13...Yahoooooo!!
11 out of 13.
I read too many TV Guides
12/13 Missed #4. Ingalls, Waltons, never watched either show.
Number 3 is almost a trick question because William Conrad played Frank Cannon (Cannon), Nero Wolfe (Nero Wolfe), AND J.L. McCabe (Jake & the Fatman).
Yes, it's one of those questions in which one must remember what it is asking about the stars (in 1973).
William Conrad should've been a porn star!!! He had the perfect look.
Okay now we can all try to get that image out of our heads!😄😄
13/13 now I want to eliminate Mamas family from the Me-Tv schedule...OOPS it's gonna happen
13/13 I really need a life.
13/13
I didn't watch much TV back in 1973! .
I was just too busy being a young adult, back in those days!
(But I rarely ever missed any episodes of Hee Haw.)
I got 11 out of 13 correct!
The ones that I got wrong were the shows that I was never interested in, or ever watched.
Fun Quiz!
12/13. #6 threw me, too. That looks NOTHING like Mary Tyler Moore.
The left off the chin dimple for Michael Douglass. Mary Tyler Moore didn't really look like her in that illustration.
13/13.
11. Cover art by the late great Jack Davis.

Perfect 13
