The Feud: See You in the Funny Pages by 42fish [Game Over]

[Dolores Reborn]

Object of the game:
Give the most popular answer for each category.

Rules:
1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. Maximum 50 entrants, and I'll score it when I have time.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

Formatting rules:
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make your post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put "pass" if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

Scoring:
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches) Anyone who responds to a question with two answers will only have the first one counted as their answer.



Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

Read the rules!

I think I'm on pretty firm ground with most of these. But given my past Feud performance, that's probably not a good sign.

Y'know, I considered Mary Worth for #9, and I'm not surprised that it's in the lead, but not one other vote for Judge Parker? Was that only a local strip, or something?

Judge Parker was national AFAIK, but I always thought it was a pale ripoff of Mary Worth - and in its early days, the only way to tell JP women apart was by hair color

Oh shoot, I checked out the answers of the hive mind known as swampbear and I'm in trouble.

Srsly? I'm the only Two Lumps fan here? I find that hard to believe!

[Chronos]

Quoth anyrose:

I never read any of them, so I can't judge quality, but I'm just amazed that the voting is as lopsided as it is, out of a relatively small field.

EDIT: Even if there are other fans here, most of them probably know that there aren't very many of them, and so they chose something more mainstream (by SDMB standards) for the points.
