Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Cute little test...I remember my parents generation saying some of these things...and I have to admit that I took a stab in the dark at #6 with the Maynard name (it just looked like the answer go figure..)...

#4 was from Little House on the Praire, right? They didn't rerun Little House too much after the 80s, and it was targetted at an older demographic I think. You'd probably have to be in your late 60s to get that one.

No I was wrong. Its from The Huntley-Brinkley Report newscast, which ran from October 29, 1956 – July 31, 1970. So you had to be old enough to be watching the news in 1970. Assuming 20 year or older to pay attention to the news, that makes you 59 or older if you got this right.

cryptoanarchist - The Huntley-Brinkley Report... So you had to be old enough to be watching the news in 1970

I watched Huntlry-Brinkley as a 5 and 6 year old because it was the only thing on tv at the time. (my parents and grandparents couldn't stand Walter Cronkite)

I saw that. But I also saw the word..."we". At first I thought it was Abbie Hoffman because I remember the quote being said and it was from one of the Chicago 7.

But if you HAVE to have 2 stars...by all means...take mine. Sara rubbed so much of the glitter in my eyes because of another article, I can't see it to enjoy it anyways.

Considering everything that was going on in those heady times, it is not only remarkable that such mundane trivia can be accurately recalled, but that the mechanism for collating and assessing the myriad possible answers still performs in such a colorful, harmonic, groovy and far out way...

Actually it was easy to get all 20. If you're my age (will be 59 in one week) there is no reason to miss any.

ok....I'm happy, proud, and embarrassed to admit that I'm 20 for 20....

Now, I haven't read anyone else's posts yet, I didn't want to be too embarrassed to admit that I knew all the answers....(course my kids would tell you that I'm a know it all, LOL)...

Now I'll look back at the posts and see exactly how old I am compared to everyone else here, LOL!

Thanks for the fun, memories like these really are priceless...!

Just for fun....I'm guessing these will be really easy for everyone...but they came to mind, so I had to ask!

Maybe I can redeem myself here, at least with one. Wasn't it Joe Namath? As far as Hagman, for some reason, Mary Martin comes to mind. Then again, she may be his age, since he is pretty old himself.

13. Brylcream.

Use more, only if you dare

Watch out, the girls will love to "sue"? ya (that word doesn't make sense to me)

They'll love to run their fingers through your hair.

(I left the US for good in 1962). I remember Alka Selzer from before plop-plop-fiz.
