	Sequel-worthy.

	Thank you for accepting Rupert Giles' "secret" occupation.

	Why doesn't "world's greatest boss" work for Michael Scott?

	Golem:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 00:20 GMT	7 points
	Assistant Regional Manager, or Assistant TO THE Regional Manager? You decide!

	Ari Gold from Entourage is on the first one too

	Took me forever to remember Phoebe's job. I tried singer, songwriter, cab driver, and even caterer before remember the "foot flirting" episode.

	pat19:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 00:38 GMT	19 points
	"Policeman" should work for "Police Officer, no?

	jhsyodles:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 00:46 GMT	5 points
	haha...I typed singer and got masseuse for phoebe's job. All i could remember was when she sang "smelly cat."

	It really should take "funeral home director" for funeral director. Thanks.

	I got 4 of them through incorrect guesses for other ones. Good quiz.

	@Andy: Apparently titles acquired at Spencer's don't have jurisdiction in the world of Sporcle.

	Other jobs should work for Moe Szyslak. Boxer (Kid Gorgeous, Kid Presentable, Kid Gruesome, and finally... Kid Moe), boxing coach, and cafeteria worker come to mind. I'm sure there have been others throughout the years.

	I could NOT remember Elyse Keaton's job to save my life and the other 6 I didn't get were simply because I'd never seen the shows. (OTOH, there are a couple of shows I've never seen--Rescue Me, Six Feet Under--that I did manage to get.) By the way, does anyone remember an episode of Family Ties where Elyse is shown actually doing that job? I know Claire Huxtable was shown doing her job on at least one episode but I thought I'd seen every Family Ties but only remember Elyse at home, usually taking care of the kids and their problems.

	@bamarainbow elyse keaton was a freelance architect and she mostly worked at home

	Finally. . . Carl Winslow is recognized :D

	Ireland:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 02:32 GMT	2 points
	Only accepted bartender for Moe. Bar owner, publican, barman not accepted bit stupid!

	cocky:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 02:35 GMT	1 point
	I remembered she was an architect but I really don't remember her doing it much on the show. I guess they gave her a job she could do from home so they wouldn't look sexist by her being just a housewife, even though she didn't do much (paid) work. Mr. Keaton was manager of the PBS station.

	No, no, it took place in an airport. The thing was on for ten years. And the funny repair guy was Lowell.It made Tony Shalhoub's career. God, you know what? Screw you guys. I don't even know you. Crazy people. Living under a rock, don't know Wings. I love Wings!

	daisey duke worked for a living?

	cocky:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 02:45 GMT	0 points
	Alice's last name was Nelson. Tht should be added. I couldn't find a last name for Max.

	capncokenojoke:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 02:45 GMT	4 points

	just seeing the name daisy duke made me think of a waitress in a small town, and i dont know anything about the dukes of hazzard

	debbiedoesnothin:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 02:53 GMT	3 points
	I watch TOO. MUCH. TV.

	gamer2000:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 02:57 GMT	1 point
	I got credited for "barkeep" and "mortician", thanks sporcle. Only missed shows I never watched except I agree with BamaRainbow about Mrs. Keaton, couldn't remember for the life of me. Also Max was hidden too deep in my memory to pull out...

	is89:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 03:01 GMT	4 points
	I think barman should also be accepted

	bananaman40:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 03:28 GMT	-1 points
	Can't believe you don't know Wings... I LOVE WINGS.

	cottb128:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 03:30 GMT	2 points
	Carl Winslow makes me happy

	ZapRowsdower:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 03:45 GMT	0 points
	At one point Moe Szyslak was king of denmark when he filled in for Claudius in the Simpsons' Hamlet parody.

	29smitty:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 03:46 GMT	2 points
	Telemarketer should work for Michael Scott since it is his second job.

	MovieDynamic:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 03:56 GMT	-2 points
	Erm, how is an occupation different from a profession?

	iceman1731:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 04:12 GMT	1 point
	ER and Rescue Me were a little too easy to guess

	Keonyn:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 04:13 GMT	0 points
	I find it funny that I got so many of these, considering I've barely seen more than an episode or two of most of these shows.

	JP17mets:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 04:24 GMT	-2 points
	how about accepting "elected official" for mayor?

	kingstony:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 05:22 GMT	2 points
	Why not accept 'barman' for 'bartender'?

	cigarette:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 05:42 GMT	3 points
	"Boss" might be a good substitute answer for Michael Scott, since that's how he refers to himself so often. At least give him "world's best boss". And perhaps "Major" should be accepted for I Dream of Jeannie. He was a major in the Air Force for most of the series.

	zalagreensbury:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 06:04 GMT	1 point
	lol I'm so slow for the 'Golden Girls' one I wrote 'retired' I mean isn't that why it's their golden years.

	AntieAnnie:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 06:11 GMT	3 points
	I tried Major, Major in Nasa, Officer.... argh. Duh, how about ASTRONAUT. I feel so sad (jk). This one was fun, and I couldn't remember Elyse Keaton's job either.

	cocky:	Sep 10th, 2009 at 06:53 GMT	5 points
	I tried pilot for the guy on Wings and got credit for Tony Nelson.
