Hey! I'm way under 40 and I got almost all of them correct, does that mean that I am old(er) at heart?

Daaaaamn, the only one I didn't know was the Red Skelton's hobo character name. I knew ALL of the rest!

Stick a fork in me, I'm done.

I knew I had seen this before but forgot it was on here a month ago (senior moment i guess) and didn't look at the date of the original post, so i took the test again and still missed the Red Skelton question. So i obviously didn't learn anything from it.

Yeah, I'm about half the age the subject line from the original post suggests, and I missed two (9 & 13).

(I love Red Skelton, and the Lone Ranger)

Jeez, I missed 3, 8 and 13 and I'm 38. Does that make me 80% old?

I'm sorry. I thought it was because I am starting to forget the answers to those questions is what makes me old. Besides, If I want to relive my childhood, all I have to do is go to my friend's house and watch satellite TV. They have all the shows I saw as a kid before they were in re-runs of re-runs of re-runs.

I knew the second and not the first part of the Red Skelton question, but I also thought "flags"! (Even though I knew it didn't sound right!) I guess that still makes me old. Meh.

Yep, me too. I thought it was Clem Kadiddlehopper but that was one of his other characters. Heh, like Proudsub I took the test when it was first posted and just now. I *still* missed the question.

I knew 'em all. Old and proud of it.

How about this? Does anyone remember when the Walt Disney show introduced the American public to the concept of stereophonic sound?
