	Thanks for including Newhart. I love that show!

	demongymnast785:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 16:29 GMT		8 points
	best selection of shows EVER! buffy... firefly... office.... glee... newsradio... scrubs.... :D. great quiz: the selection and quality are both AHmazing.

	Jimh:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 16:42 GMT		16 points
	It's either amazing or embarrassing how many names I recognized even if I've never watched their show. Also, great mix of shows in there, very diverse.

	mkrysl:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 17:16 GMT		6 points
	I loved this quiz, especially for throwing in SportsNight! Loved that show!

	If you accept just Degrassi for "Degrassi:TNG" I think you should do the same for Star Trek.

	Rayavi:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 18:25 GMT		7 points
	Except that there are two Star Trek series on the quiz, my man. Personally, I'm taken aback that only 13.3% of people seem to have seen the greatest show in television history. But then again, it is just a show. I should really just relax.

	chux:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 18:32 GMT		5 points
	Wow. Tru Calling gets a Sporcle mention at long last. I strongly approve.

	tvfan3:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 18:44 GMT		10 points
	Love the inclusion of the criminally underrated Sportsnight

	staarbux:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 18:49 GMT		3 points
	Excellent quiz. Two quizes recently have included Newsradio - amazing. :D

	pete32782:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 19:14 GMT		7 points
	Loved seeing Sports Night...some might disagree, but I think it's a shame Sorkin decided to kill off Sports Night in favor of The West Wing. Also loved seeing MST3K and Breaking Bad!

	drewjay:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 19:24 GMT		4 points
	Mission Hill least guessed at 1.4%.. yeah. That will get you cancelled.

	@greenday61892 - In addition to, as other people have said, there being two Star Trek shows in this quiz, I actually used the original Star Trek in my other TV Main Characters Quiz (they were released at the same time) but didn't use any of the older Degrassi shows, so I just accept 'degrassi' as it's the only one in either quiz. You can play the other one here: http://www.sporcle.com/games/amaranth/tv_charactersii

	I can't believe Eureka is on here! One of my favorite shows, but I don't know anyone else who's seen it.

	CraigBerger:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 20:20 GMT		3 points
	99th %ile. Guess I watch too much TV. And DAMN PROUD OF IT

	Buffy:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 20:25 GMT		-2 points
	For Flight of the Conchords, Bret's last name is McKenzie. Otherwise, GREAT quiz. I got like 95th percentile.

	jefrunner:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 20:42 GMT		4 points
	@Rayavi: What was at 13.3% when you commented? I assume it wasn't TNG since that's in the mid-forties currently. Firefly maybe? I'm surprised it (and Fringe) are as low as they are. Nowhere near as surprised by where Twin Peaks is, though (currently at 7.6).

Comment below threshold: show it

	ZapRowsdower:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 21:14 GMT		9 points
	Thanks for accepting "MST3K" and for including it in the first place!

	I always love a Wonderfalls inclusion. Great quiz!

	irishguy331:	Jan 23rd, 2011 at 21:51 GMT		5 points
	I was hoping for LOST and/or Dexter :( Maybe next time?! :)

	"I finally get Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night! It's a comedy that's too good to be funny!"

	Johnny Caravella? AKA Doctor Johnny Fever, my fellow babies!

	chaneski:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 01:45 GMT		5 points
	How unusual in that this quiz does not actually exist! You see, if it did exist, it would be a Sporcle TV quiz that does not include "Arrested Development".. and as we all know, there is no such creature. Ah, well. It was a five-globe fantasy.

	captjojo:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 02:16 GMT		5 points
	Northern Exposure was the best show EVER! Was rather proud of myself for remembering that the other ewing brother was on knots landing.

	that1chick:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 04:20 GMT		2 points
	I only knew 30 shows and still score 86 percent. I barely watch tv. Northern Exposure, Bones, Buffy, all great shows. Great quiz.

	craigmeister:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 06:52 GMT		2 points
	Truly awesome quiz. There were 4-5 on the tip of my tongue that I could not quite get. How could I miss Twin Peaks? And Carol Vessey from Ed was a huge crush.

	Yvonne_india:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 13:02 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz with a good variety of show. I don't understand why each time you play it the clues are in a different order, it's not as if they don't need enough reading as it is, without rearranging them each time.

	GenericUsername:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 13:30 GMT		6 points
	You're awesome for including Tru Calling.

	BonnieH:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 13:33 GMT		2 points
	Clearly I'm not the couch potato I thought I was (and thank God for that!). I missed a heap of them but only one was a show I actually watched (Sports Night).

	kidcanada:	Jan 24th, 2011 at 15:10 GMT		4 points
	I can't believe over 10% of people couldn't identify what TV show Homer Simpson is on.
