What you are about to see is entirely real. These were actual sitcoms broadcast by the big networks in the Seventies. We have the promotional photos to prove it.
The Sixties gave us quirky fantasy sitcoms left and right, while the Eighties delivered everything from aliens to androids in family comedies, but the decade in between had its own outlandish concepts.
We'll show you a picture and give you the pitch. See if you can come up with the title. Even if you never saw these obscurities, you know how TV tends to name things, right? Good luck!

7/10
8/10, I remembered most of them being aired and actually watched a few of them. Yes, I'll admit to watching Me and the Chimp.
You got 7 out of 10
You weren't monkeying around! Nice work. You should have a job as a network executive.
I only actually knew 4 of them but I guessed the other three that I got right.

9/10 just by guessing!
5/10. All guesses. I never heard of any of these shows
Nice work
2/10! missed numbers 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,and 10. pitiful.
That should read 9 out of 10 for me, but MeTV had a glitch, causing it to read "8 out of 10."
I do not remember any of this sitcoms, none of them had a very long run.
Never saw any of them, so I guessed. Nice guessing! 8/10
