I’m “Racheal” (sic) from _Friends_ . . . Odd . . . I’ve taken other similar quizzes and so far I’ve also been Grace from _Will & Grace_, and Elaine from _Seinfeld_ . . . ---

It guessed that I was Mrs. Livingston from Courtship of Eddie’s father and Ieyasu Tokugawa. Impressive. However, it said Apu(The Simpsons)'s wife is named Gita. Problem. Guessing ‘no’ on that question also leads to Apu. Odd. ---

It guessed that I was Raymond from _Everybody Loves…_, but its last question was “Are you a Dego?” Does this not sit too well with anybody else? ---

Gee, using personal info, I’m Lex Luthor from Smallville. But when did LL grow up in the 80’s? On the other hand, it took a while to get Barney Miller. ---
