About This Quiz

With its Farrah Fawcett hair and its Trans Ams and mustaches, the '70s was a decade filled with one-of-a-kind trends and catchphrases. It was a time for groundbreaking televisions shows, too. If you were on the set of a sitcom back then, which one would it have been? 

Just like the upcoming remake of "The Jeffersons," they say that all trends and important things circle back. Even those bell-bottoms we would all like to forget keep popping up from time to time. As you route your way through our questions like Eric Foreman in the Vista Cruiser, we think we'll be able to figure out how much of the '70s influenced you. Then, we'll take those inherited traits and figure out if you would have been Mr. Bentley or the Fonz. 

From "Three's Company" to "Happy Days," '70s sitcoms were not afraid to push the boundaries set by previous eras of television. In fact, they've shaped many of the shows we watch now. After you tell us how you would have fit in back then by telling us about yourself now, we'll know which sitcom set you were born to be a part of! Will it be the one you always thought it would be?
