You might want to find other options for Fogg and Hasselbeck. Their shows are not fictional, so they are not really actors. They are just personalities. Good quiz though, and mad props for including that Tom Cavanagh show.

For V you could just use Scott Wolf who is in the new V series and for L how about Matthew Fox from LOST?

Most of what Hasselback says sounds pretty made-up to me. But yeah, it's still a stretch to consider her an actor. I tried Rugrats, Ren & Stimpy, and Recess for R before giving up and moving on. There are too many cartoons starting with R!

You're right ivyagogo because Beavis and Butt-Head start with a "K".

All in the Family trailing Zoey 101 by a fair margin may be the most conclusive proof yet that the U.S. is a country in decline.

If Zoey wasn't spelled stupidly I would've gotten that one. I tried Zoe 101, it never occurred to me it had a Y.

@trivial: If they had used Carrol O'Connor, I definitely would have gotten it, but I wasn't sure who Jean Stapleton was, and there are too many shows starting with 'A' to justify guessing.

Chuck Norris once kicked a horse in the chin. Its descendents today are known as giraffes.

@goofymuffin - I would guess that a lot of people don't get whatever channel Nip/Tuck is on, or have never watched it, and do not know the actors' real names...

@trivial: I think Zoey 101 is getting a hefty boost simply by virtue that it's both recent and starts with a rare letter.

I was convinced that the show Kyle Chadler was on with Fisher Stevens was called either "Final Edition" or "First Edition." Turns out it was "Early Edition." Oh well, that's still more about that show than I thought I'd remember.

Jean Stapleton was also on Archie Bunker which would fit there too.

@Laura: Close. The series was renamed "Archie Bunker's

, but Stapleton only appeared in 5 episodes before "Edith" was killed off.

Hah on me; I didn't even see the letters of the alphabet on the left. Might mention that the shows need to begin with same. I typed "Knight Rider" two or three times, "The Soup" ditto, plus "Star Trek" once (for Hasselhoff, McHale, and Bakula, respectively). But truth be told, I wouldn't have done much better than the dismal 10 I got. Of which I'm sort of glad.

Like seeing the answer for the letter V on the left hand side of the page for a change. I guess more people are discovering how good that particular show was - two of my cousins gave their children the first season DVDs.

Not watching TV for 10 years really paid off. I was still 62nd percentile after getting only two shows that started since then.

@slew - Jack Klugman and I beg to differ. Some of us have fond memories of a coroner named "Quincy".

That's possibly the gayest list of TV shows I've ever seen, and I would know... they're all in my Netflix queue too. Ashamed for not remembering who Jean Stapleton was...
