6 out of 10 for me.
I knew a lot about TV in the 70’s but not too much about movies. My weekly allowance didn’t cover the admission price, unless I took out (yet another) loan from Daddy.

*I haven’t thought about William Demarest in decades.
The Classic portrayal of “Old Grouch”.

You must have owed Daddy a fortune! LOL! I think we all did, truth be known. :)

We had a thing in the best theater in town which allowed us to get into matinees for two bread wrappers from Williams Bread. The bakery sold a ton of bread, matinee seats got filled, and the theater raked in the bucks for candy, soda, and popcorn.

Between that, and cable, I saw a lot of movies. I was 10 when “Dirty Harry” came out. Watched it a bunch of times.
