	nice broad spectrum of shows throughout the years

	Given time, Chuck Norris will be the notable star in all of these shows, he's just allowing the other 25 to survive... for now.

	Chuck Norris should be an answer to every quiz on Sporcle.

	I watch too much TV

	JohnTheRev:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 23:32 GMT	-2 points
	did anybody else put "Doogie Howser" for D.H. before looking at the notable star?

	WadeGarrett:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 23:34 GMT	-4 points
	kidcanada, never heard of Airwolf? Man, you were deprived. They should have used "Bosom Buddies" for the B.B. show instead of Breaking Bad

	Chuck Norris can be an answer when Sporcle releases the "Internet memes that stopped being funny 3 years ago" quiz.

	DerKomissar:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 23:39 GMT	4 points
	They should probably do one for each genre: comedies, drama, game shows.....

	Jaspers:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 23:48 GMT	-1 points
	@Stephen Sides: No, they really shouldn't.

	rockgolf:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 23:52 GMT	2 points
	I would have liked all the initials to be from the same letter where possible. (eg C.C. - Katheryn Morris, H.H. - Bob Crane, G.G. - Betty White, M.&M. - Robin Williams, W.W. - Kyle Bornheimer) but I'm not sure that's possible.

	Veronica Mars! RIP.

	Is there any other "Q" show than Quantum Leap? There isn't one as good, that's for sure.

	rockgolf: You'd be hard-pressed to find QQ or ZZ.

	Isstvan:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:12 GMT	-1 points
	Saw B.B. and my first thought was "Bosom Buddies." But really using U for Robert Stack and going with "Unsolved Mysteries" instead of "The Untouchables?"

	kidcanada:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:15 GMT	-1 points
	@ StephenSides - man, people sure did not like my comment. I was born in 1983, Airwolf was before my time, but I'd never heard of it. I could deduce answers to P.M. and G.A. just by knowing the actors.

	mdc8k:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:17 GMT	3 points
	Cannot believe Zorro is the second most missed. Thought that would have been one of the easier ones.

	rockgolf:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:22 GMT	3 points
	@guyleguy: There's already a Z. The Q series could be Jack Klugman.

	cottb128:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:29 GMT	8 points
	Wow, 21 comments in and nobody's made a C.S.I. or N.C.I.S. joke? That's like a layup.

	MRL:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:33 GMT	5 points
	@rockgolf: That'd be Q.,M.E., wouldn't it?

	3kr:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:45 GMT	3 points
	Desperate Housewives stumped me. I'm actually not all that broken up about the oversight. Good quiz with a nice variety of answers spanning a wide range of years. What's not to like?

	muse:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:48 GMT	0 points
	airwolf is legendary! how could it be missed by so many.

	rockgolf:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:52 GMT	0 points
	@MRL: Yeah, technically, but who called it that? Besides "Quarterlife" only lasted one episode.

	Ecto2:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 00:53 GMT	-3 points
	im glad i did poorly on this quiz... bring on the books

	Mootastic:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 01:03 GMT	2 points
	I was hoping that the TV show for the letter V would've been "V", but Veronica Mars is cool too.

	mjr1474:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 01:12 GMT	-2 points
	Was a little too easy with all of the initials instead of just the letter of the alphabet.

	confused:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 01:12 GMT	0 points
	Sure am glad the star was included: only got one off initials alone!

	BDC241:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 01:20 GMT	0 points
	This was a pretty easy quiz. The only one that I skipped to return to was Hill Street Blues. Not only did the initials help, but punctuation as well. Not sure I would have landed "Yes, Dear" without the comma clue.

	ad808:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 01:33 GMT	4 points
	This quiz makes up for the glaring error Sporcle made in their TV Shows by State quiz by choosing Roswell as the show based in New Mexico. Good job. Nice throwing Veronica Mars in the mix as well.

	Iceberg:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 01:43 GMT	4 points
	I've always wished Sporcle could do a TV theme song quiz where you get a audio clip of the (instrumental) theme song and you have to guess the show. I don't know if that is technologically possible, but if it is Airwolf better be on there.

	Lean:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 01:52 GMT	0 points
	Great quiz! Veronica Mars FTW!

	InsertCleverName:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 02:01 GMT	-3 points
	I agree with mjr. The quiz was certainly fun, and a nice mix of genres, but it would have been a bit of a better challenge without the whole-title initials.

	Dorak:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 03:06 GMT	4 points
	Nice Sporcle mention of Quantum Leap! How about a QL "brush with history" quiz?

	The Neg police came out in full force today. No love for the Tourretes Guy Robert Stack reference.

	dldove77:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 03:55 GMT	0 points
	Got them all, but only because I completely guess on Zorro. Fun quiz...

	brrap_brrap:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 04:33 GMT	4 points
	Alf not being the answer for 'A' is a travesty.
