	Carol Burnett for Mama's Family? I think Vicki Lawrence would make more sense. Carol Burnett was in a few episodes and it was a spin off of the Carol Burnett Show, but she was not a star in this show.

	@thirdheaven: The quiz originally included game notes which explained that certain key actresses were best known for shows which included their LAST NAME, and for that reason, an ALTERNATE show was listed in this quiz. Hence "Mama's Family" in which Carol had a minor role, instead of "The Carol BURNETT Show", "Live From the Red Carpet" instead of "The Joan RIVERS Show", "Mr. Show" instead of "The Sarah SILVERMAN Program", (and much less disparately, MTM in "The Dick Van Dyke Show"). The quiz also included the number of Emmy or BAFTA TV awards and nominations each of them had earned in their careers (especially for the earlier performers), because I wanted to emphasize how astonishingly brilliant they all were (or are). But it doesn't matter. We all know how great they are just by looking at their names, right? :)

	And to further clarify that, I did not select Carol Burnett for the purpose of "highlighting the best comedic performer from Mama's Family"; I chose Mama's Family as the best alternative show with which to pay tribute to Carol Burnett. I love Vicki Lawrence. But I didn't want to include any show twice, so she was not included herein. Sorry but I couldn't fit 300 comediennes in the quiz. ;)

	Another favorite - this was too much fun. (I had no idea Judi Dench had done comedy! I learned something new tonight.) 5 globes. P.S. Question: What exactly are the green and red arrows and the flag for? And the number of points? I've never been clear on that.

	@richardkiewalker, you can vote a comment up or down with the green & red arrows. Hovering over the flag, I get "Report," so I assume it's to "flag" an inappropriate/abusive comment. @ needapausebutton - it's so wonderful to see this quiz celebrating these talented and accomplished women!

	Well, if "The View" is supposed to be a comedy, that explains a lot about the show...

	They should reinsert the game note to clarify carol burnett for the mama's family one.

	I could picture Jane Lynch and I knew it started with L, but once I got Jane Leeves in my head, I was never going to get that one.

	Please accept Jane you ignorant s... for missing name #7. 5 globes! All these women were fantastic comedic actors.
