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.

Finished all of them except for "A" within the first 90 seconds but have never heard of that show. Neat quiz.

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.

They should probably do one for each genre: comedies, drama, game shows.....

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.

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

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?"

@ 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.

Cannot believe Zorro is the second most missed. Thought that would have been one of the easier ones.

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?

I was hoping that the TV show for the letter V would've been "V", but Veronica Mars is cool too.

Was a little too easy with all of the initials instead of just the letter of the alphabet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Alf not being the answer for 'A' is a travesty.
