	Y'know if it weren't for the Simpson's "mediocre presidents of the United States" song, some of these guys wouldn't appear at all.

	I like cocky's idea of showing them all, but I think it would be a more entertaining quiz if you had to guess which president corresponded with which number. Maybe do that and also show them all when time expires.

	You have to feel sorry for Tyler and Buchanan.

	William Henry Harrison had a longer presidency onscreen than in real life

	Oh sure, THIS President quiz I remember Pierce...his two entries are so close to making it to the top 10.

	Interesting that there is a difference in the number of people selecting the two Roosevelts. I guess some people must either type in the full name or use FDR (assuming that FDR is accepted).

	That Grant number has to be inflated by his time as a general. But I should wonder why that wouldn't work for Eisenhower as well.

	@jshep, FDR is accepted and, as you've said, it's a pretty safe bet that that accounts for most of the difference.

	@rayval, I'm actually surprised that Buchanan is that low since you would think he would appear in a bunch of Civil War Movies and Shows given that the election of 1860 was a major turning point in north/south relations.

	Can't believe "W" is number 3. Does the number include the offscreen President on Air Force One who was looking for a bag of chips while Frenzy was trying to take over the plane in Transformers? ;-P

	LinkIsCool:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 00:10 GMT		10 points
	@feste26, I'm guessing that it's due to Grant's more direct involvement in conflicts during the Civil War, whereas Eisenhower was more on the tactics side, away from the field.

	@BillyMumphrey, I'm pretty sure he had pneumonia for the entirety of his presidency so....... this is awkward......

	I would have to think that Futurama helped a certain president...

	I guessed 41 presidents and still managed to miss one of the regular answers.

	And John Tyler's planned biopic suffers yet another fatal blow.

	I was shocked when the great Millard Fillmore was only portraid in 2 films, what a character hollywood is missing out on

	IM pretty sure William h. taft had appeared on Biggest loser many times during his presidency

	pirate6711:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 03:00 GMT		3 points
	I can't believe how many times W has been portrayed in such a short period of time. Does this include news magazine shows/special TV documentaries?

	rockhopperlad:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 04:23 GMT		3 points
	I think we're past due for a good Calvin Coolidge biopic! :)

	smbonser21:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 06:15 GMT		2 points
	too bad its only the number of times they appear being portrayed on IMDB, otherwise i think Reagan would be on this list

	rajudna:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 10:35 GMT		3 points
	my guess with th recent presidents is shows like SNL inflate the ones out of Bush and Clinton

	MattCortese:	Feb 24th, 2011 at 12:25 GMT		5 points
	Good quiz, of course the one I somehow forgot about was Kennedy. Fun to guess as many Presidents as you can think of and see where they all rank.

	bush and Clinton really did not see them coming

	Good game. I like having the top 10 yet including the others as a bonus. I was choosing guys that I knew wouldn't be top 10 just to see their numbers.

	I've seen half of the Benjamin Harrison portrayals.
