	when is this current of? Lily definitively took some time off of HIMYM for her real life pregnancy. Also Penny was out for a couple of episodes of the big bang theory with a broken leg. The order might still be right but the episode totals are wrong.

	Now did people get Jack Shephard when thinking of Jack Bauer? Or did people get Jack Bauer when thinking of Jack Shephard?.........LOST

	ilovekelly75:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 23:12 GMT	17 points
	Ryan was also out for a lot of The Office.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I agree with ilovekelly, for many reason, but most importantly because Ryan was missing for major parts of several seasons. For example, his character was jailed. He may have been shown in the credits, but he never actually appeared in many episodes. Bakertm is also correct. Katey Cuoco missed two episode with a broken leg and then was not seen from the waist down for a couple of months after a horse-riding accident. imdb is notoriously inaccurate about these things.

	tough quiz, got mostly all Big Bang and Two and a Half Men.

	Bowbow:	Sep 6th, 2011 at 23:45 GMT	5 points
	What episode of Lost was hurley one without all of the others, or is is just that they each missed one?

	Also was francis not in Alaska for a long time, surely you cannot count his appearance in the credits?

	jerbero:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 00:27 GMT	3 points
	@Bowbow - I think they are counting the bonus episode on the DVD as an extra episode for Hurley and Ben.

	Propellerhead:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 00:37 GMT	9 points
	Jeez, Kim Bauer. Has a character ever done more dumb things in the course of a show?

	willwoodlen:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 00:40 GMT	5 points
	I agree that "Bert" should be accepted for Bertram Cooper. Also, I couldn't come up with Harry Crane's name, either. As for Francis in Alaska, they had a number of episodes that showed his experiences there, although I was also surprised at the number of appearances given him here.

	Speenatch:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 01:26 GMT	7 points
	It looks like googlebird got his data from IMDb, where the characters are listed by amount of episodes credited in. Although Hannigan and Cuoco, etc took some episodes off, since they're regulars they still get credited in each episode, so it wouldn't appear any differently on IMDb.

	Meltha:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 01:28 GMT	4 points
	@propellerhead I thought of her and honestly couldn't remember her name because I always mentally referred to her as "that idiot." The only thing left for her to do wrong was run with scissors, and I was hoping there'd be a cameo of that in the final episode.

	NvjdsIsSmart:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 01:42 GMT	3 points
	GREAT quiz. The british version of The Office is my all time favorite show.

	emanuel:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 01:50 GMT	3 points
	lily missed two episodes

	lucia:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 03:06 GMT	0 points
	lily (alyson hannigan) missed some episodes due to her pregnancy in how i met your mother. And also Penny (kaley cuoco) missed some too, appearently she had a broken arm or something like that

	Jethro:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 03:14 GMT	2 points
	IMDB lists the number of episodes based on how many times they are credited, not how many episodes the actual character appeared in. A nearly identical quiz was already published: http://www.sporcle.com/games/susanlyn/MostEpisodes and people went crazy for exactly the same, and correct, reasons. It is just plain wrong, and I am surprised after the issues with the last quiz that this one got made as well.

	burywmore:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 03:33 GMT	1 point
	So does this quiz include episodes of series that have not aired? I cant imagine that Charlie Sheen missed ten episodes of his show before this season.

	pancakes188:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 03:53 GMT	2 points
	This quiz proves that clearly more people need to watch Mad Men.

	enkalitah:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 08:32 GMT	3 points
	It's Elliot REID not REED.

	You should accept Temp for Ryan Howard.

	Only 75% of people got Malcolm?

	MovieVGManiac:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 15:14 GMT	1 point
	The episodes arent all that correct. From the three i know (Two and a half men, Scrubs, Lost) a lot of the characters were missing from some episodes, especially Lost. I think in Lost Sun was only in about 85 of the 114 episodes she was credited with.

	brez002:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 15:58 GMT	4 points
	I could see how bj novak might be credited a lot because he is also a writer on the office. But to say that ryan was in that many episodes is just false.

	there's no way Ken Cosgrove was in all 52 episodes. quiz is not current

	TessSGS:	Sep 8th, 2011 at 09:56 GMT	-1 points
	I've done something similar for UK TV programmes - http://www.sporcle.com/games/TessSGS/tv-characters-in-most-uk-episodes

	TessSGS:	Sep 8th, 2011 at 09:57 GMT	2 points
	Paxman's Mate, there were only a handful of UK Office shows ever made, so the character would NEVER have racked up the same number of episodes.

	sillysweet1:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 22:19 GMT	2 points
	YES! I got all the Office names. SUCCESS!

	doctrine_duke:	Oct 23rd, 2011 at 20:18 GMT	-1 points
	All of your numbers are wrong. You're basically just listing the number of times each actor was in the opening credits. Nobody is in every episode of Lost, and only Don is in all 52 episodes of Mad Men. Do your research next time beyond IMDb.
