Considering I grew up in the seventies, I had expected to do better. I had considered bell bottoms as my first choice for #7 but I guess I figured they were more of a sixties fashion. I’m surprised I was the only person who guessed _Roots_ for #9. Granted it was a mini-series rather than a regular series but it was a huge phenomenon - one of the few televison series that actually had a historical impact on society. ---
