	Awesome quiz, one of my favorite shows of all time! How about a characters of 'ER' quiz next (in honor of its 15th & final season)?

	Lindsay:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 16:29 GMT		10 points
	Although, shouldn't this be formatted like most other quizzes on this site to allow one to answer using last names only?

	PhilSandifer:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 16:36 GMT		9 points
	Or, frankly, to allow first names, as the characters do not generally have overlapping first names, and are referred to by their first names in almost every episode. There is no particular joy or fun in having to try to remember Mandy's last name, and it takes it from a "remember the West Wing characters" quiz to a "remember obscurantism about the West Wing" quiz, including spellings of names like Concannon that never appear in print, since the show is a TV show. This is a great concept for a quiz, but the execution is really disappointing.

	I must agree with the requirement of full names comment above, but I'm more concerned with the omission of the very important White House secretarial staff. While these women may have only appeared for one or two moments, they appeared in far more shows than Matthew Perry, Christian Slater, and Mark Harmon. Long live Margaret, Carol, Ginger and the others. (At least you list Dolores Landingham, Donna Moss, and Debbie Fiderer.)

	SporcleAdmin:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 17:48 GMT		6 points
	Yep, you are right, we have changed the quiz so that it takes first names or common nicknames, thanks for the feedback and we beg your (presidential) pardon.

	Lindsay:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 17:53 GMT		11 points
	Definitely agree with Phil, and I'm glad to see it takes first names now, but I also think last names should be accepted (at least for some of them). Characters like Hoynes, Santos, Vinick - they were more known by the last names and/or titles than by their first names.

	Lindsay:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 17:55 GMT		15 points
	Also, it's not currently accepting simply "Bruno" for Ron Silver's character, and I feel like Mrs. Landingham should be accepted (since that's what she was called 99% of the time). Thanks!

	Lyn_Marie:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 18:09 GMT		7 points
	Really should accept first OR last name. I would have had them all right. Thanks!

	Billston:	Dec 28th, 2008 at 19:08 GMT		3 points
	I'd like to propose a The Wire Characters quiz. It would be insanely great. You could divide them up into Streets, Police, Port, School, Newspaper...I would love you forever if you did it, Sporcle.

	CarpeDiem:	Dec 29th, 2008 at 00:21 GMT		7 points
	@BlueEyedAlien: Right on! Margaret, Carol & Ginger were far more integral to the show than some of the big name guest stars they had. Still, though, I love the concept of this quiz, so THANK YOU and KUDOS to BobbyD629, and thanks to the Sporcle guys for making first names acceptable! :-)

	debbiedoesnothin:	Dec 29th, 2008 at 05:25 GMT		6 points
	Who knew that was how they spelle Abbey? I tried Abigail and Abby both and neither one was accepted.

	ChipTaco:	Dec 29th, 2008 at 16:10 GMT		8 points
	Agree with some of the changes proposed above. Most notably, accepting "Mrs. Landingham", Hoynes, Santos, Vinick and Bruno

	kingofdanger:	Jan 1st, 2009 at 21:45 GMT		7 points
	Agreed about the last names. I would imagine most people wouldn't remember Lionel Tribbey's first name. "Mrs. Landingham" not being accepted is an outrage. Also, if "Admiral Fitzwallace" isn't accepted, that's blasphemy.

	PhilSandifer:	Jan 5th, 2009 at 00:43 GMT		2 points
	I agree - even accepting first names, this quiz just has too many unaccepted answers. A rare instance of a great quiz being badly botched.

	sassinak:	Jan 29th, 2009 at 16:24 GMT		2 points
	this quiz really irritated me; so much so that i killed it after three answers. PRESIDENT BARTLETT doesn't work?? bartlett doesn't work? mrs. landingham doesn't work? who even KNOWS her first name. weird botch on such a great site

	johnlk:	Feb 1st, 2009 at 16:02 GMT		6 points
	It is totally absurd to not have "Mrs. Landingham" be acceptable. Either first name or last name ought to work.

	archicello:	Feb 24th, 2009 at 00:55 GMT		0 points
	all this time i thought it was jebediah. some fan i am.

	jdimaggio:	Mar 18th, 2009 at 17:55 GMT		3 points
	Archiello, the first lady does call him Jebediah as a joke in one episode. Can't believe Ed and Larry weren't on this thing.

	tinmen:	Mar 19th, 2009 at 21:30 GMT		1 point
	ok i typed bruno three different times before giving up also blew an anyurism tring to remember kate harper and jack reese (ouch)

	Kat:	Mar 31st, 2009 at 15:27 GMT		2 points
	why can you use just first names for some and have to use entire names for others? shouldn't they be formated the same?

	juviejay:	Apr 4th, 2009 at 08:51 GMT		6 points
	What about the Pres and First Lady's daughter? I won't say her name, but she was on fairly regularly. And they talked about her a lot too.

	thefinestmuffins:	Apr 28th, 2009 at 05:41 GMT		3 points
	Are there any bonus answers? I tried lots--the first daughters, Leo's daughter, the non-Donna assistants, the other Santos staffers, etc.

	sameltron:	Jun 1st, 2009 at 20:40 GMT		9 points
	Lionel Tribbey gets a spot, but not Zoey Bartlet?

	ChipTaco:	Jun 11th, 2009 at 19:11 GMT		7 points
	Going back and doing this quiz, the notable omissions really bother me. Slater, Perry and Harmon were all only in a few episode story arcs but left out are: Margaret (105 episodes) Carol (99 episodes) Ed & Larry (47 episodes) Zoey (25 episodes) And many others that were more in the 10-20 range.

	fishtown:	Jun 28th, 2009 at 16:19 GMT		4 points
	Ron Butterfield deserves to be mentioned over Simon Donovan. No Zoey, No Margaret? Disappointing.

	segacs:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT		4 points
	Love the show, but this quiz was poorly done. Too many major characters omitted. Too many common variations for characters' names not accepted. If someone could design a good West Wing quiz, I'd be all over it.

	Delphi:	Sep 27th, 2009 at 13:19 GMT		2 points
	I've made a West Wing quotes quiz, try it here http://www.sporcle.com/games/Delphi/West_Wing_Quotes_1

	BonnieH:	Jul 15th, 2010 at 17:47 GMT		1 point
	Variations need to be accepted. Heck, even names that showed up as an answer weren't accepted a few times (I tried Deborah and didn't get Debbie even though both are shown on the answer key). Want to love the quiz, but it needs some tweaking.

	Milgod:	Sep 11th, 2010 at 17:42 GMT		2 points
	A great quiz. I LOVE THE WEST WING! However, it doesn't accept Bruno but allows all other first names.

	LJ55:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 23:20 GMT		1 point
	Does anyone else find Hoynes to be an enormous ass?

	edwardgrogers:	May 31st, 2012 at 16:34 GMT		2 points
	It doesn't accept 'Santos', but will accept 'Matt'?
