Good job!!!

 

I'll be 41 next month. I was blank on #8, knew the 2nd 1/2 of #10, blank on #'s 13,16,17, & 20.

[Wolfmanjohn]

I'm 61, and LS/MFT meant something different to us in high school.

[Ianf]

Hey I'm 60 and got all but two. Not bad for a Canadian on a US pop culture quiz!

[SarahsGMC]

[99silveradoz71]

Definitely knew more than a couple

[Bad Bowtie2]

I turn 41 next month, but I drew a "blank" on #8, 13, 16, 17, & 20.

 

Though #'s 13 & 17 seemed very familiar to me. I only knew the last 1/2 of #10.

 

Thanks for posting up your answers Lou.

I was trying to allow time for others to try their luck...
