Right up front; I suck at this. And also grew up in an entirely different part of the world, and probably didn't get all the American TV *g*. But here's a few guesses (some more wild than others)

1) Batman? Knight Rider?
2) ???
3) ...Quantum Leap?
4) Man From UNCLE?
5) Phone Booth = Superman, but female spy? La Femme Nikita? Did they have a bastard lovechild?
6) Robin of Sherwood?
7) Married with Children?
8) Dallas?
9) Witchblade?
10) Um, I *should* know this.
10b) should know this, too...

...yeah. completely suck *g*

[tarshaan.livejournal.com]

Oh, wait, 2 = ALF!

And Witchblade's too late... hmm.

#1 is Knight Rider
#4 is Man From UNCLE
#8 is Dallas

ROFL re: #5 8-)

Witchblade is too late -- none of these were past the 1980's, except in syndication.

1 Knight rider
2 not a clue
3 star trek
4 get smart
5 no clue
6????
7 all in the family
8 dynasty or dallas (who shot JR)
9 tales from the crypt keeper
10 Magnum P.I.
11 The jeffersons.

i could not play this at all as it would be near ipossible for me to find 10 shows i actually liked.

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

#1 is Knight Rider
#3 is Star Trek (original series)
#7 is All In The Family
#8 is Dallas
#11 (or 10b) is The Jeffersons

Not having looked at others' answers yes, and with much dubiousness, to quote Nermal:
1. Batman
2. Mork & Mindy
3. Star Trek
4. Get Smart
5. Avengers?
6. A-Team?!?
7. I got nothin'
8. Dallas (you *watched* Dallas? ::bemused::)
9. Dark Shadows (?)
10. Magnum, PI
10a. I got nothin'.

#8 is Dallas
#9 is Dark Shadows

[rhi]

*What* superhero in Knight Rider. Where? See icon: HMMMMPPH!

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

Hey, I don't assign the keywords, I just select from what they assigned!

[rhi]

Hah! Didn't have to pick it!

[alysswolf.livejournal.com]

1 - Knight Rider
2 - ??
3 - Quantum Leap
4 - Man from UNCLE
5 - Mission Impossible by chance?
6 - ??
7 - All in the Family
8 - Dallas
9 - Dark Shadows
10a - Airwolf

Can you tell that I've probably watched way too much television over the years? My only problem is remembering to limit to the 60s onward. ::grin::

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

#1 is Knight Rider
#4 is Man from UNCLE
#7 is All in the Family
#8 is Dallas
#9 is Dark Shadows
#10a is Airwolf

So far, you're in the lead! Only one of the ones you actually guessed at was wrong, and that was Quantum Leap!

[alysswolf.livejournal.com]

I guessed Mission Impossible for #5 -- was that right? I seem to recall that Phelps spent a lot of time in phone booths watching those little tapes fry.

Hey, this is far more interesting that figuring out what regiments state militia units ended up in in 1861. ::grin::

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

Sorry, #5 is not Mission Impossible. ::S::

and yes, it's more interesting than what I really should be doing, too! LOL

Okay, haven't read the comments yet, so not cheating. :)

Batman, Men In Black, no clue on some of the others.

[jcbdragon.livejournal.com]

Sorry, but no for both.
