the mom's name in Family ties is not correct- there's no I in her first name. good quiz- maybe cut down the time a little.

Why, why, why did it have to be *character* names? I'm sitting here going, "Michael Gross. Estelle Getty. Markie Post. Why can't I remember who they played?"

@Tahnan - agreed. I especially had that problem with Night Court! Great variety! One minor quibble: Olivia's last name is Kendall, not Huxtable.

Do these numbers come from IMDb? I'm wondering if Maggie hasn't been in more episodes than Milhouse (I'd assume she's been in almost all of them), but since she doesn't normally have a voice, she wouldn't be listed.

I kept typing in "Bud" for the boyfriend of the youngest Cosby kid, knowing that wasn't his name and it was what she decided it should be.......man, the things that stick in your head.

@Kicking222 - I did use IMBd. I will add it as my source. I'm guessing you're right about Maggie. @MMayes - I clearly remember the way she said, "Buuud." Funny! I'll add the nickname as an alternative answer. Thanks to all for playing.

@googlebird: the issue with IMDb, at least for the Simpsons, is that the characters are listed by voice actor credits. The fact that Flanders is listed in 485 episodes is because his voice actor was in 485 episodes.

This is a great idea for a quiz and really fun. IMDB is a bad resource though if you are counting appearances. They often count number of episodes based on if an actor received a credit rather than if they actually appeared or not. Also it is not all inclusive. On Family Ties Andy became a talking charachter in Season 5 but he was born at the end of season 3 and was shown several times through season 4. IMDB only counts Andy from season 5 on. (Just rewatched FT on netflix) Sorry trying to be helpful not critical. It is a really great idea.

Please make sure all your alternates are accepted correctly. I kept typing "coach" and "Olivia" and they weren't going.

There is no way Ned Flanders is in that many episodes. But I like the quiz.

Was confused why it wouldn't take "Elise." Apparently that's "technically" wrong but an alternative perhaps? It's still the same name pronounced
