FO said, "It's not Rob Benson; he's the Beast". I typed in "Benson" anyway, and it was accepted ... as Robert Guillaume. That's a weird easter egg.

I noticed that the most missed element is Meitnerium. More than the Uuo elements? But apparently there are patterns to those, so that might make them easier to memorize.

I missed some really obvious ones, like the Office, the X-Files and Arrested Development. I don't like that list just for including any reality TV shows at all, especially Survivor and fucking American Idol. I was surprised to see Freaks and Geeks on there, though. That's also kind of a weird list. They left off some really highly praised shows like Babylon-5, but then have weird choices like Leave it to Beaver, Pee-Wee's Playhouse and... Jimmy Neutron? The hell? Even if they wanted to have more animated shows, the best they could think of was one of the most formulaic cartoons in existence? They probably chose it because they thought it was the first 3-D animated show... which it wasn't. Also, "the Superbowl (with commercials)." I'm not a real big sports fan, but I'm starting to get annoyed with people who say, "Oh yeah, I just watch it for the commercials."

Especially if they're talking about the old Battlestar series. CB007's Review & GPT Archive After 2000 years, I will be forgotten, and the Time-Loop will close.

It wasn't even canceled because it lost popularity, it was canceled because of Paul Reubens's arrest in an adult film theater. www.flyingomelette.com

Indiana Jones and the Holy Grail? Indiana Jones and the Cup of Christ? States in alphabetical order was a decent quiz.

I was doing pretty well with the alphabetical states one until I had a massive brain-fart about halfway through.

The only one I had any trouble whatsoever on (and even then it only took me about five seconds to hazard a guess) was... Spoiler [+] Captain Caveman ...which is also the most frequently missed. The Fanboy in Me: I went into the "50 Greatest Comic Book Characters" one, immediately typed in "Prime", and when he didn't show up decided not to bother.

I wonder what the age of the average sporcle user is. Maybe it's closer to mine than I would have guessed. 80's, and '90's cartoons are all guessed with high accuracy. I'm surprised ATHF is so low. I'm also surprised that I knew Invader Zim (I've never seen an episode). I'm really surprised Space Ghost is so low -- sure, the original cartoon is obscure, but what about Cartoon Planet and Coast to Coast? I am most familiar with Captain Caveman (the least answered one) through the Flintstone Kids show in the '80's.

Or that #3 was high at all. I was only aware of that character though the not-very-well-received movie, which I don't think I even realized was based on a comic book before that quiz.

I got maybe a third (and I wasted about a minute trying to figure out how the hell to spell "Rorschach"), then gave up. About half the characters on the list I either didn't know about or didn't know anyone cared about. And yeah, #3 was a major "buggah-wuh?"

What the heck is a Gerald McBoingBoing, and why is it ranked so high, or on the list at all? Of course, it IS TV Guide.

As for "Gerald Mc. Boing-Boing"... Last Edited By: TaroSH 09/17/09 8:11 PM. Edited 1 times.
