I'm 38, very much a child of the 80s, and I got 19/20.
16 was the only one that completely stumped me.
The rest were well covered by TV reruns and oldies stations on the radio. Though someone 10 years younger than me, with the same resources would likely not get most of them, as most of those shows are no longer being aired in reruns (Nick-At-Night has showing stuff from the 70s & 80s now) and many oldies radio stations have gone the way of classic rock, basically no longer playing anything earlier than 1964.
In a lot of ways, TV and radio were a lot more diverse in the 80s and early 90s than they are today after all the consolidation.
My mind is also something of a steel trap for useless trivia. But don't ask me to remember where I last saw my hammer or measuring tape, or the name of that person I just met 10 minutes ago.
