I was kind of all over the place with this one … at first, I was thinking “Classic” = TV of the 50s and 60s, and then decided to expand that to include shows from my own childhood. ---

I Love Lucy 3 - Fonzie became much more popular than Richie Cunningham, who was the original focus of the show. My first thought was Urkle, but (a) I don’t remember the name of his show and (b) I can’t stretch the definition of “classic” that far 6 - Although I can stretch “classic” just enough to include this one 9 - Threatened spousal abuse is comedy gold, I tell ya 10 - Personally, I’d pick Fawlty Towers, but I’m guessing most answers are going to be American in nature. ---

Yes you can get a zero. Answers that are only worth 1 point in the answers list, i.e. no matches, get no score at all. Trying to go for zero is not within the spirit of the game. ---
