Um, I was fairly proud that I only missed one (Mork and Mindy) without cheating, but you do know that if you leave the mouse arrow over the picture the name of the picture appears (e.g., “silver_spoons.jpg”)?

great quiz! I think I’ve seen most of these homes on Cops as well…

The Mork & Mindy one was tough, but the jeep gives it away.

Got them all… though The Love Boat is not a sitcom.

I was going to point out what Denise said. That’s kinda funny, Ransom.

I was able to identify them all. (I got the Silver Spoons one only by default, having guessed all the others correctly.) I’m not sure whether I should be proud of myself or a little bit embarrassed. (How much TV must I have watched in order to get all of them right?)

Well, being of the younger generation, I only actually knew Full House and The Cosby Show…the but the rest was easy (logic and guessing).
The Love Boat was, well, the boat. Sanford and Son sounded like the name of a store, and Silver Spoons had to do with rich people.
Mork and Mindy and the Jeffersons I guessed.

What about M.A.S.H?

I can’t believe that I got all seven right. Does this make me a sitcom nerd, just asking?

Wow..I feel like I need to start spending more time outside…I got all of ‘em right….

That’s a fun quiz but you need to credit it’s source, a great website and magazine called “mental_floss

got all

WOOHOO! I got them all right! I’m kinda shocked because I never really watched “Cosby”. Also, I named each by looking at the picture. I didn’t see the list of shows until after I was done. LOL
