	The answer for Northern Exposure is spelled wrong - the second "I" should be an "E". I got it wrong because of that. :(

	Cicely is spelled wrong, as springmom said.

	Lanford is broken (it didn't accept "lanford"), and Star's Hollow is broken (tried about five different versions, I just lacked the capitalization). Otherwise, I liked it.

	Got slightly less than half. Blanked on Rivendell and Narnia. No excuse. I fail at Sporcle.

	Not 1 person has gotten the home of 'Gilmore Girls' yet.

	Booger:	May 27th, 2009 at 19:34 GMT		28 points
	No "G Spot"?

	ElDavo:	May 27th, 2009 at 19:35 GMT		4 points
	This was a good quiz, and although I won't demand a sequel, I see the potential for one.

	@ Booger: That is a real place!!!! :)

	@DaRiPPER: I tried it again with "Star's Hollow" and it wouldn't take it.

	I have no idea how I knew the "Buffy" city- I've never seen an episode in my life. Anyway, I like this one; I'm always a fan of quizzes with interesting, previously-untapped concepts.

	Also surprised no Vulcan since Star Trek just came out in theaters

	milkmeister:	May 27th, 2009 at 19:49 GMT		5 points
	I would have bet money that Utopia and Erewhon would make an appearance!

	Keonyn:	May 27th, 2009 at 19:52 GMT		2 points
	Kind of sad so few people have gotten Maycomb County

	procrstinologist:	May 27th, 2009 at 20:01 GMT		22 points
	Lake Wobegon- where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average.

	@milkmeister: I typed in those two at the beginning. Those are among the first places I think of when I hear 'fictional locations.'

	Josh:	May 27th, 2009 at 20:27 GMT		7 points
	Ah man, I haven't thought of Acme Acres in a LONG time.

	Kevin:	May 27th, 2009 at 20:28 GMT		9 points
	Am I the only one angry that Imladris wasn't acceptable for Elrond's home? [/geek]

	Josh:	May 27th, 2009 at 20:29 GMT		8 points
	I think it says something about the demographics of Sporcle quiz takers that over 40% know where Spongebob lives and under 10% know where Marty McFly lives.

	montecarlo:	May 27th, 2009 at 20:43 GMT		9 points
	perhaps include potterville as a substitute answer for 'its a wonderful life'?

	Jaksiel:	May 27th, 2009 at 20:46 GMT		7 points
	Josh: I've seen the Back to the Future series multiple times but I never really took note of Marty McFly's hometown.

	SowCrates:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:00 GMT		8 points
	Before King of the Hill came out, I was plagued throughout Elementary school with the first name "Arlen" and the middle initial "E", resulting in too many "Arlene" roll calls than I like to remember. Then King of the Hill came along. I didn't watch a single episode for the first 5 years the show existed, so I had no idea to explain how everybody now had some familiarity with my name, but suggested that I was in some way affiliated with Texas. Most confusing days of my childhood.

	SixNapoleons:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:01 GMT		5 points
	I thought that this was a brilliantly balanced quiz. The choices of locations come from a nice range of sources. And I was especially pleased to see Neighbours get a mention, even if I don't watch it any more.

	Jaspers:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:02 GMT		2 points
	I predict many sequels to this quiz.

	smuglapse:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:05 GMT		2 points
	I thought for sure they would spell it Greenbough or Greenbeau in Alabama. Oh well.

	SowCrates:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:05 GMT		3 points
	Oh, and Booger? Thumbs-up Alf never seemed more appropriate, what a terribly awesome comment.

	Tahnan:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:14 GMT		4 points
	I think this was a near-miss. Some of these "fictional locations" make a great deal of sense because the fictional works in question are really about those places, like Shangri-La and Narnia and Brigadoon. But some of them are kind of just happen-to-be-fictional places, like Greenbow or Maycomb County. It wouldn't really have changed the story to have To Kill a Mockingbird set in the real town of Monroeville, or to have Forrest Gump be from Mobile (as he was in the book!), so they're not really "fictional places" in nearly the same way.

	and all this time I thought it was Greenboro (like Greensboro NC) and that he was just saying it with a big accent.

	What, no Moosylvania?

	Matty:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:45 GMT		9 points
	Ramsay street. Ramsey street. Ramsie. Randsey. Ramdsay. Remsay. Rahmsey. Ransay. Ransey... Erinsburgh! Damn.

	Fish1987:	May 27th, 2009 at 21:53 GMT		5 points
	God that was hard! Also Imladris should count for Rivendell.

	There are several Springfields in the US but none of them are where the Simpsons live. I love Sporcle for including Erinsborough!

	Niques:	May 27th, 2009 at 22:55 GMT		0 points
	Argh, Bayport. I knew it had Bay in it. And Neighbours is set in Ramsay St (hence the title!!) - it's cruel making the answer Erinborough.
