About This Quiz
Don't get Bewitched by this quiz!
The '60s were without a doubt one of the most memorable decades in the history of television. This iconic status of the decade is due to several factors. First, this was the decade that debuted several hit television dramas, sitcoms, and police procedural shows, that would help to define television programming for the foreseeable future. Secondly, the decade is also memorable for the widespread transition from black and white programming to color programming.
This meant that several television shows that had debuted in the '50s (and early '60s) made the jump to color before the end of their runs. This jump to color programming, in addition to the widespread presence of televisions in countless homes, businesses, and institutions, led many people to believe that television had 'won' the fight against film. So, whether you're a fan of sitcoms like "I Dream of Jeannie" or you prefer more serious dramas like "Adam-12," there's something for every lover of TV from the 1960s in this quiz!
So, jump right in and let's get started!
