I got 1992 and here's the description :
You definitely enjoy more recent programming and binge-watching shows on Netflix. But you also appreciate some of the older classics.

1954.   Not exactly. Though I watched a lot of Nick at Nite as a kid and when I visited my grandparents house it sure felt like it could have been the Eisenhower era.

my answers:
1. Smurfs
2. picked Glee but really of those I've seen, none remotely.
3. watched Bonanza reruns.
4. I Love Lucy (sane)
5. The Avengers
6. Buffy marathon ofc
7. Dick Cavett
8. Star Trek
9. 2nd one on the 1st row

You were born in 1959
Growing up in the 1960s made you a resilient child, making your choice in TV shows better than most other generations.

OMG it was only off by one year!

Clearly a very accurate test (somewhat seriously)

1992, quite close
The TV model and Glee questions clearly affected my results
1. Scooby Doo
2. Glee, I've never watched any of the other shows
3. Bonanza reruns (my dad still watches it on TCM)
4.Friends, I've never watched any of the other shows (and it's still on reruns every day, with some marathons on weekends)
5. CSI, same reason
6 30rock, it's the only one I've watched other than Bewitched (I like both shows though)
7 Stewart, I live outside of the US and TDS is on YouTube
8 Batman, I've never watched any of the other shows (I'm sure the three were on TCM/Retro at one time)
9. The second one on the second row (normal for a 90s kid)

Wow. They nailed it. I think that is the first time a short online quiz like this ever got anything right for me.

Yep, 1992 is exactly dead on for me. Late 90s was a great time for tv with being able to watch the classics on Nick at nite and TV Land.

I was born in '93, and have watched very few of these shows out of reruns (Glee, 30 rock, TDS, Oprah,  CSI, and maybe Recess),

1981, while I'm in my early twenties. But it probably doesn't work with foreigners.

Shame you can't write-in some. I'd write-in Quantum Leap over the ones I haven't seen yet.

EDIT: Made guesses where my NOTAs would be, got 1981. Boy, was this off. Tongue
