	hard but i really liked it. probably hard cause i was born in the middle of the 90's but still fun

	brianc:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 08:37 GMT	16 points
	good, but the 1994 world series should accept more answers, I couldn't figure out the wording it wanted. I tried "cancelled" and "not played" and "no world series"

	Craig:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 08:39 GMT	4 points
	Likewise. I tried "none", "n/a", etc.

	First try was "strike" for 94, and it accepted it

	"Altanta"?

	Mattomic:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 08:55 GMT	4 points
	Based on the results page, it's safe to say more people were watching baseball in the 90s than world news.

	laura_belle:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 08:57 GMT	2 points
	Queen, The Doors, The Who never won Grammys either.

	Tahnan:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 09:09 GMT	18 points
	Or else, Mattomic, it's just a lot easier to keep typing in baseball team names than it is to keep typing in everyone in the news in the 1990s...

	Some of the answer percentages show an alarming lack of 90s IQ among Sporcle users. Now I'm assuming many of these will go up, as there are only 862 plays counted so far, but some of the results are still quite surprising. The top answer at just under 90% is a three-time world series winner in the 90s, which doesn't really surprise me, but only 82% of people knew who was president of the US in the 90s? The two main combatants of the Persian Gulf War were both gotten by less than 60%? The highest grossing movie of all time and winner of 11 Oscars: 59%

	It's been said in other quizzes, but it's a sin that Dances With Wolves beat Goodfellas and Shakespeare in Love beat Saving Private Ryan.

	I like these quizzes, but "Grammy Winners for Record of the Year" should be changed to "Non-offensive, Typically Boring Radio Fodder Recorded by an Aging Diva or Pop/Country Star to A) Jump-start Their Slowly Sinking Careers or B) Boost the Soundtrack Sales to a James Cameron/Kevin Costner Movie."

	Managed to get Natalie Cole by spelling Helmut Kohl incorrectly!

	bbf2:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 09:52 GMT	4 points
	@indyjeff The thing asking for US president in the 90s is way down at the bottom, I bet a bunch of the people who missed it probably didn't see it or just gave up before completing the whole thing. if it were the first question asked I'm sure people would get it a lot more. Also I think the Iraq war thing might have been confusing with its wording, some people might have thought it had to do with political or military groups or individuals and wasn't about naming countries. No defense for the Titanic thing though.

	brianmcp:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 10:03 GMT	1 point
	With long quizzes like these a lot of people give up way early so the results are skewed. For some reason I didn't guess any of the top movies or tv shows

	The nineties were good times, and so was this quiz!

	Roseanne and The Cosby Show? Really? I always disliked those shows when I was a kid...well, I guess I wouldn't have gotten the jokes anyway.

	Dirty D:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 10:32 GMT	7 points
	i agree that Saving Private Ryan was alot better than Shakespeare in Love but Dances with Wolves is probably the best Native American-related movie in history/the whole mafia thing was getting old.

	how did you choose significant world leaders? Every other category seems to be a concrete list - were world leaders of your own choosing?

	GoonerLover66:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 13:24 GMT	8 points
	It looks like Canada and the USA really dominate the World Series, I wonder when another country will win it?

	It seems weird that Titanic won Best Picture in 1997 and yet the movie theme won the Grammy in 1999. I never figured such a huge chunk of my childhood was influenced by that song.

	MikeSang:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 14:30 GMT	20 points
	"not the Bills" could work for any of the Super Bowl answers

	WCRoentgen:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 16:08 GMT	3 points
	I don't know what I typed to get the answer "David Ho".

	SJinNJ:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 16:17 GMT	0 points
	This was much harder then I thought it would be.

	@WCR: Home Improvement maybe? That's how I got it.

	ZeZapatiste:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 17:06 GMT	3 points
	For Mitterrand, I had to type "Mitterand" to be accepted. Just to notice

	Friends wasn't the most watched programme?

	It makes me sad that only 3.7% and 3.5% got Eric Clapton.

	awesomegerbzy:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 18:04 GMT	5 points
	For some reason I decided to type in "Red Sox" as a joke, even though I knew that they didn't win...but to my surprise, the Reds popped up instead!

	bigal4:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 18:50 GMT	2 points
	haha, just like in the time person of the year game, i got david ho by accident, this time trying to type home improvement.

	If we're gonna talk about oscar disgraces: Forrest Gump beating out Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption. And those that weren't even nominated for best picture: Léon, Ed Wood, Trois Couleurs: Rouge, The Lion King and Clerks, all of which I think are better than Forrest gump. But hey, what would the oscars be, if we couldn't have a good old fashioned bitchin' about them? :)

	JohnJF:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 19:17 GMT	1 point
	@GeordieGuitarist: Clapton won two more or less makeup Grammy. When he was still the "Clapton is God" Clapton, the Grammys had no interest in rewarding Sunshine of Your Love or Layla, yet that's the time period he's most known for. Tears in Heaven and Change the World will surely be forgotten in the grand scheme of things for Clapton.

	How is George H.W. Bush not a significant world leader during the 90's? One of the categories is "Gulf War Participants" and Bush was basically the leader of that coalition.

	bostoncane:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT	1 point
	drat - I spelled out forty-niners. I guess that's not technically the name of the team.

	Newt Gingrich has to be the most worthless excuse for a Time Person of the Year on record, even against the cop-outs like "The American Soldier" or "You".

	xandigee:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 03:43 GMT	2 points
	hard for someone born in the nineties, but fun. =)
