	Much more difficult that I thought. I only got 12 and I had to cheat on two of those (oops) Good quiz.

	Aaron Sorkin also wrote the screenplay for The American President. The West Wing is an ofshoot of that film.

	Darn those double "Ds" in Roddenberry. I would have also put in Mike Judge for Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill. Good Quiz though.

	Very fun quiz. Actually easier than I imagined it'd be- when I saw it, I said to myself, "I couldn't tell you who created most of the shows I actually watch, much less the ones I don't." Yet I pulled 18, so go me.

	drza:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 13:16 GMT	6 points
	I watch jeopardy all the time for years and years and I couldn't remember the answer. Oh well,better to miss it here then on the show during a double jeopardy question

	montecarlo:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 13:35 GMT	3 points
	funny bug in the quiz: typing "and" gives you the answer to #1. need to correct that i suppose :P

	skyritz:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 13:39 GMT	7 points
	Not to start the whole American/British spelling debate, but technically the show aired as "In Living Color"

	zalagreensbury:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 14:19 GMT	2 points
	Alan Ball created 'Six Feet under' I thought he just wrote for it. Interesting.

	Brian:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 14:47 GMT	-3 points
	How the hell is there no Don Bellisario on this quiz? Created Magnum PI, Quantum Leap, JAG, NCIS? Get it together Sporcle!

	debbiedoesnothin:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 16:38 GMT	3 points
	Classic brain fart from me. I knew most of them, could even picture the guys and name other shows they created, but couldn't remember names and/or spell them. Only got 6 before I got frustrated and gave up. Knocks self in the head - Serling, dummy, not Sterling.

	chillicothe20:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 21:28 GMT	4 points
	No Garry Marshall? He created Happy Days, and its spinoffs Laverne and Shirley, and Mork and Mindy.

	Sam:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 22:15 GMT	-2 points
	what about "HOUSE"?

	Whistle11:	Feb 12th, 2009 at 23:19 GMT	-2 points

	CANDM:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 02:22 GMT	1 point
	Really...only 20% of people got Dick Wolf?

	ZeppoMarxist:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 03:59 GMT	0 points
	I got 32 out of 34. I missed only American Idol and Friends, neither of which I'll lose much sleep over.

	klogg:	Feb 13th, 2009 at 20:54 GMT	2 points

	JimKatz:	Jun 14th, 2009 at 06:30 GMT	4 points
	Darn you, Mary Tyler Moore, naming the show after yourself without creating it.

	LUNGS:	Oct 13th, 2011 at 16:41 GMT	1 point
	No Psych? :( Poor Steve Franks.

	Doggygirl:	Nov 19th, 2011 at 01:55 GMT	1 point
	I don't know why I can't get the name Paul Attanasio out of my head... I know he created a popular show, but I can't think of what.

	krh5038:	Feb 8th, 2012 at 02:05 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. But it made me mad after I saw all the answers I missed, I never would have known them but when I see the name I remember seeing all of them on the show's credits.
