I remember a lot of these. I was in kindergarten in 1958. I can remember my mother wearing poodle skirts and I also remember the oil embargo I was driving a 1970 Mustang in 1974. My dad said I should sell it. it was a gas hog, I guess he was right. I can remember when I was five years old. Going to kindergarten. Sometimes I look back at all the years and wonder where did they all go. I’m now 70 years old and my and I have two other older brothers that are still alive One is 77 and the oldest living one is 80. My oldest brother passed away in 2003 he was almost 64. He was born in 1941. Both of my parents are long gone now there’s just me and my two older brothers and one younger brother left and I have nieces and nephews. Like I say, I wonder where all the years went thanks for the videos they bring back old memories and make me think a lot. Thanks for the video. Appreciate it very much. Have a good day wherever you may be.👍👍❤️🎸😎
What does vertical hold have in common with the remote control. Cathode ray tube TVs needed a vertical hod circuit. I was repairing TV in my teens in the 50s. Side note here. My dad invented the first remote TV control back in the 50s. "Boy, get up there and change the channel."
My Grandparents had a remote control (wired to the TV) in the early 60's. The TV had a loooong cord attached to the TV. The sound it made changing channels was much like the 8 track tape sound of changing tracks; Clunk!
The one about the 1960 group the sneakers where did they come from. I got that one wrong I never heard of the seekers. I thought you were asking the question of the British invasion they all come from England but again I didn’t know anything about this group, so I got that one wrong And I got another one wrong. I only missed two. I grew up in this late 50s and early 60s. I’ve studied a lot of music and I’ve learned a lot about guitar players and different bands. I am a solo instrumental guitarist. I have been playing since 1974, so I have quite un knowledge of music and musicians. Creedence Clearwater Revival was one of my favorite bands along with the Beatles and eagles and Led Zeppelin was my favorite rock band. But on the other hand, you make a person really think thanks for the video. I’m going to save it love it.👍👍😁❤️🎸
I would like to sit on my butt all day and watch all of these quiz shows, but I have more important things to do. Thanks for the videos. You have a bunch of them on here I want to watch them all and I will eventually I’m going to save them. Have a great day.👍😁
No, they can't! We seniors have great long term memory. Our challenges are ; what day is it? Current world events and popular culture in recent history..
Canadian here, 77 years old, so exposed to a lot of US influence, I scored exactly 75%. of the 25 I got wrong, I'd say, 22 or so, I had absolutely no idea of the correct answer.
I am a US raised citizen and when it came to questions from other countries .. i think i missed about all them . i am 74 years old I think i got about 95 right
My first wife was from Louisiana. She went to a Louisiana hayride and met Faron Young and they went out on a few dates. She also met Elvis Presley there too, but he wouldn’t talk. He didn’t even say hello he kept to himself. If you asked me, he was a little bit on the arrogant side.
That is the point of these tests, to make us feel better. Most every question was easily answered by us because the elderly have very good recall of events of our teens and our twenties. These are things we can easily recall because of the fact that they were added to long term memory. With very limited television stations and our habit of listening to radios, we heard many of these items countless times.
This is designed to test Seniors on knowledge we have NO problem recalling. Much like the vocabulary tests they are designed to make us feel better about ourselves. It would be a more serious quiz to test our memories from the 2000's, a time period that we didn't so easily convert to long-term memory due to our divided attention from the glut of information that flooded our lives!
I'm an American and I agree with you! I mostly watch British panel and quiz shows. Americans have such small working vocabularies, and such stunted senses of humor that everything is far too repetitious to be enjoyable!
You are absolutely correct! Blue jeans were only worn by workers until the late 60's. I had never seen anyone wearing them except for ONE girl in Elementary School in a fishing village we moved to in 1958; Thunderbolt Georgia (now part of Savannah). Her family were shrimpers, they were poor. She was very conspicuous as the only girl who didn't were dresses to school. I grew up poor in the deep South, but we never wore jeans, even the poor were too proud to wear them. Then the Hippies embraced them in the late 60's., and Americans wear them everywhere for any occasion!
Give me back the 70's when "peace, love and understanding" was a core belief of my contemporaries. I came out to my university in Alabama in 1970. I found nothing but love and acceptance, and have never experienced any hostility or prejudice in my life. I''m 74, but I do not believe gay kids today in Alabama would have the same experience in 2025 that I had in 1970! It is sad that we are becoming less tolerant of our differences in America. Most of my close friends in Houston the 80's and 90's were very wealthy Republicans. They were wonderful, kind, and generous people who loved me; a gay, liberal, atheist. Their one fault? They hate paying taxes, so they will vote for any monster who promises to lower their taxes. Paying taxes are patriotic!
They were a huge hit all over the nation. We sold 100's at our store in Houston, along with tiny barrels of crude oil as mementos of their visits to Texas. Our customer base was international, so those pet rocks traveled across the world. California, Texas and New York are where most national trends start; ridiculous or not!
I am an 84 year old Brit. Your quiz is very US biased. Amazingly I scored very highly.
Considering i'm from the UK and had to guess half of them i got a respectable 75/100 , lots of lucky guessing .
These are dead easy for seniors even if you don’t come from America. I would love to know how many the young folks would know 😊

I'll second the gender of Simon d.B. She was a superb thinker, philosopher and writer!

🇦🇺🇦🇺
BTW, I'm 70 😅😅
Great! 👍🏻
I got 75 correct. Born in 1947, married in 1966, still in love with the same girl I married and loving life!

Some help to jog your memory..the Seekers sang Georgy Girl...that help??.
90/100. The one I missed most were most the British questions. Soon to be 70 years of age.

I wish we could put our answers online. This was so easy
Simone de Beauvoir was a "she", not a "he". This quiz should be called General Knowledge Quiz for American Seniors!
It is
Geez, can these questions be any easier?
No, they can't! We seniors have great long term memory. Our challenges are ; what day is it? Current world events and popular culture in recent history..
I got 90 right 10 wrong. and I'm i the U.S. not too shabby
I got 92 correct. Questions about some foreign events were hard.
Canadian here, 77 years old, so exposed to a lot of US influence, I scored exactly 75%. of the 25 I got wrong, I'd say, 22 or so, I had absolutely no idea of the correct answer.
77 correct I'm 66 some of these were before my time.
I got 93 out of 100!
I am a US raised citizen and when it came to questions from other countries .. i think i missed about all them . i am 74 years old I think i got about 95 right
I got 90 correct
so did I
18 wrong, that was fun, thank you

Actually Elvis was quite shy. I prefer to think shyness over arrogance at that point in his career.

Wauw 🤩
I am 82 ....I feel a whole lot better about myself now 😊

82/100
94/100 Jerry "Valley" lol
I got 12 wrong.. Not bad from Africa 😊🇿🇦
Question 99 needs a revamp. Digital tuners eliminated vertical hold, not remote controls.
Basically America events...I'm Filipino I got 81 only
During the Watergate scandal, they used to call President Nixon old tricky, Dicky. I thought that was a funny one.👍👍😁
#1
Well, I'm 82 and missed 10. Not too bad.
I'm 69, and I have never heard of a lot of these questions.
#2
No 78 I worked there
Great 😊

Guess I'm not American enough to have known a lot of these. Got most that were more Internationally known.
A lot of questions for American tv which I don’t get lol
81/50. I am British and agree...too Americanised and quizmaster trying to be cool is hard to listen to
I'm an American and I agree with you! I mostly watch British panel and quiz shows. Americans have such small working vocabularies, and such stunted senses of humor that everything is far too repetitious to be enjoyable!
Question 95, what about Rappers Delight? It was from the 70s...
Bell bottom jeans were known as Elephant bells and not “ears”
You are absolutely correct!
Blue jeans were only worn by workers until the late 60's. I had never seen anyone wearing them except for ONE girl in Elementary School in a fishing village we moved to in 1958; Thunderbolt Georgia (now part of Savannah). Her family were shrimpers, they were poor. She was very conspicuous as the only girl who didn't were dresses to school. I grew up poor in the deep South, but we never wore jeans, even the poor were too proud to wear them. Then the Hippies embraced them in the late 60's., and Americans wear them everywhere for any occasion!
We definitely don't "remember it" from the Future!!! In other words, "from the past" is redundant!
68 right
Way too long. Enjoyed it. Quit at 50.
Ok Boomer! Only about 5 wrong....I love being a Boomer...Can we go back to the 60s now??,
Give me back the 70's when "peace, love and understanding" was a core belief of my contemporaries. I came out to my university in Alabama in 1970.

Pac Man was released in 1980
Yep, 1980! I remember that well.

Why are you outside? The sound quality would ve much better if you were inside.
Simon
I missed 5
It’s Poodle Skirt,not skit.
27:28
A typo can happen.
PAC man was 1980.
Just came to say this. I hate when trivia videos give the wrong answer. It didn't even begin development until 1979.
Pet rocks !!’ What’s wrong with calafornians one brain cell lol
They were a huge hit all over the nation. We sold 100's at our store in Houston, along with tiny barrels of crude oil as mementos of their visits to Texas.
