Pretty fun game, and definitely a good mix of current and classic, though (and I'm not actually complaining here at all) I'd argue that the way-less-awesome Melissa Joan Hart show with a name in the title is included.

Both Pete & Pete and Clarissa Explains it All would've been nice throwbacks to classic Nickelodeon, but a good quiz nonetheless

lot more that could have been here: joanie loves chachi, crossing jordan, and felicity just off the top of my head (plus the ones mentioned above). good quiz though... so my point is, a sequel would be cool sometime :)

I can't believe that Zachary Levi and Michael C Hall's shows have been answered the least. They are both currently on and good shows.

I'm assuming that like most people, my response to the quiz is, how does a piece of crap like Arliss stay on the air for six years?

Any Suddenly Susan fans here? They totally ruined that show when they killed off Kathy Griffin's husband. Cool that Kate and Allie were on the quiz. I loved that show.

I'm also thinking of omissions and would like a sequel. (People let me tell you 'bout my besssst friennnnnd). Next up: first-named movies? Or is there already one and I've got to go hunting?

First names...that's why Seinfeld did not come. Seeing Julia-Louis Dreyfus made me type that. Then again her show on this test was not aired where I live, so I thought this was a trick answer, since Jerry Seinfeld would be a too easy guess.

I'm sorry but "Hannah Montana" does not qualify as a television show. That is where I draw the line between "television shows" and "garbage".

I would have liked to see Kenan and Kel here. Then again, the clue would probably make it a little too easy.

Why do some say "-present", but others say "-2009"? Am I to assume the ones that say "-2009" have been cancelled? And speaking of, Joan Of Arcadia was cancelled way too soon. I have nothing but good memories of that show

I am proud to say I did not get Hannah Montana. I'd also like to say that the 85.6% of you that did are either pervs or losers.

or 85.6% of us can't hide quick enough when the rest of the world talks about Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana, so we at least put her to Sporcle use
