Hello…..McFly

Looks like you were too busy breakdancing to watch TV! Time to trade those leg warmers for some 80s reruns.

Not bad!

You’re starting to get the hang of it. Maybe you were watching TV with the rabbit ears misaligned

Almost halfway!

You’ve got one foot in the 80s, but it looks like the other is still stuck in the 70s. Keep watching!

Pretty good!

You’ve got some serious 80s knowledge. You’re almost ready for a guest spot on an 80s trivia show.

Awesome!

You’re an 80s TV spin-off superstar. Just a bit more and you’ll be giving Doc Brown a run for his money!

Impressive!

You’re so close to perfect, you probably remember the commercials too. Just a smidge more for TV mastery!

Perfect score!

You know 80s TV spin-offs better than the original cast members. Time to write your own spin-off series!
