Back in 2014, I created a trivia challenge that most readers seemed to enjoy, so I figured it was long past time to test your classic TV knowledge again.
The first time around the
quiz mixed character names with actor names, but this time we’ll keep it
simpler. The following 30 names belong to characters on very successful shows.
Just name the series for each one. The answers will be posted on Monday.
1. Margaret Lanterman
2. Letitia Lawrence
3. Herman Glimscher
4. Christine Chapel
5. Alexander Cabot III
6. Beverly Ann Stickle
