	How exactly does TGAM = The Greatest American Hero?

	FreakyFlyBry:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 04:37 GMT	8 points
	Am I the only one who guessed Gossip Girl only to realize it didn't start back then?

	SporcleAdmin:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 04:44 GMT	12 points
	@Tom_the_Dog - yes sorry about that, slight error. To make amends, we will now start singing the intro music for the show. Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air...

	tvfan2:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 05:06 GMT	3 points
	not enough time

	cappy:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 05:14 GMT	15 points
	I tried guessing Mystery Science Theater 3000 before looking at any of the clues. You disappoint me, Sporcle.

	Koltrane:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 05:15 GMT	1 point
	@tvfan2 - Absolutely agree. This quiz is challenging enough. Five minutes makes it too difficult.

	gingerbreadsatan:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 05:32 GMT	5 points
	i had trouble with this one because many of the shows that start with "the" i never use when talking about the show. but it is missing the in "the king of queens" and i actually got that one right...

	jefe_:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 05:53 GMT	21 points
	Apparently, about 65% of Sporclers don't actually love Raymond.

	DirtyKash:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 07:50 GMT	24 points
	@FreakyFlyBry - I tried "Golden Girls".

	WredAguyW:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 07:59 GMT	5 points
	DWTS? Down with the Sickness? No? Nevermind.

	Riko:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 08:09 GMT	16 points
	"TSS= That 70s Show"... yeah, i'm gonna be THAT guy: that one is kind of a cheap shot.

	heykaysup:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 08:28 GMT	7 points
	liked this except for T7S.....

	Put the timer at 8-10 minutes and we're good.

	Can't actually spell most of these, that's why I use the initials

	andy:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 11:17 GMT	0 points
	Agree about TSS. TGAH should say Comedy/Science Fiction, and I also tried MST#K as a hidden answer. Very disappointed there.

	andy:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 11:18 GMT	19 points
	And why should Golden Girls be accepted? That was a straight sitcom, and didn't start anywhere near 2000.

	I first tried The real world for TWW and realized that this quiz gave me a lisp. Thank you sporcle, we can now add that to carpal tunnel syndrome and bloodshot eyes.

	midnight_dreary:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 16:39 GMT	-3 points
	Wow I sucked at this. Though if I had about 3 more seconds I could have finished typing The Wild Wild West.....lol. Yup 11/28. Not very good.

	bubbagump:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 18:52 GMT	-2 points
	If there was a murder every week in the small town of Cabbot Cove on Murder, She Wrote, I think they would have to be the murder capitol of the world.

	barnztormre:	Jul 3rd, 2010 at 21:52 GMT	0 points
	I've never heard of the Wild Wild West, but for a western from the 60s, what else could it stand for? :)

	Chocolatl:	Jul 4th, 2010 at 02:18 GMT	7 points
	The Wild, Wild West was as much science fiction as it was a western.

	dxman:	Jul 4th, 2010 at 03:25 GMT	1 point
	@Strangey: No, it isn't.

	andriawaslike:	Jul 4th, 2010 at 14:15 GMT	0 points
	It's okay, procrstinologist, I did the SAME EXACT thing. Hahah. I did horrible. Nothing pre-1990 I would ever have gotten anyway, but there were a few I did a serious, 'DOH!' after the answers popped up.

	ktappe:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 01:23 GMT	-1 points
	Yikes. I"ve seen every episode of The West Wing twice and still didn't get it. :-

	Wow, really pleased with how I did - out of all the ones I failed to get, I'd only heard of one of them. I owe it all to having to translate textspeak so I'm used to seeing things acronymed and alphabetised. BtVS I rarely see written out in full any more, for example.

	crazydrummer3:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 15:06 GMT	2 points
	hey where'd CSI and ER go when you need them?

	Norah:	Jul 5th, 2010 at 16:55 GMT	2 points
	Would it be too hard to add the ending dates of the shows, too? I feel like that might help, especially with the short amount of time given. Also, it would be really funny if you made Golden Girls be a bonus answer, since obviously it didn't start the same year as Gilmore Girls but has the same initials. :) Cool quiz!
