Goodness-of-fit statistics are used to quantitatively establish the compatibility of CMB anisotropy predictions in a wide range of DMR-normalized, open and spatially-flat $\Lambda$, CDM cosmogonies with the set of all presently available small-scale CMB anisotropy detection data. Conclusions regarding model viability depend sensitively on the prescription used to account for the 1$\sigma$ uncertainty in the assumed value of the DMR normalization, except for low-density, $\Omega_0 \sim 0.3$ -- 0.4, open models which are compatible with the data for all prescriptions used. While large baryon-density ($\Omega_B \gap 0.0175 h^{-2}$), old ($t_0 \gap 15$ -- 16 Gyr), low-density ($\Omega_0 \sim 0.2$ -- 0.4), flat-$\Lambda$ models might be incompatible, no model is incompatible with the data for all prescriptions. In fact, some open models seem to fit the data better than should be expected, and this might be an indication that some error bars are mildly overconservative.
