Am I the only person NOT to put ER for the hospital show? Wow. I guess I saw 1 or 2 people say General Hospital, but still, ER??? I guess watching House while answering swayed my answer a bit, but goodness I thought I’d at least match someone!!!

Well, in my case, “shows set in a hospital” isn’t a genre I’m much interested in. I’ve never seen it, but _E.R._ was, in truth, the only thing that came to mind.

The two answers I’m most surprised by are the transatlantic flight times (I think some of you are either taking the long way or mistakenly got on a boat) and the movie trilogy (of which _Star Wars_ isn’t).

the flight thing is subjective - are you starting from NY or Chicago or Denver? Are you on a Boeing or a Concord?  
the trilogy thing - Star Wars is the first thing that came to mind for me, but then I realized that’s either a hexology or two trilogies.

What is House? Sounds like it should be about home improvement.

Star Wars was _the_ movie trilogy for decades until a few years ago.

House is a show about a doctor named Greg House. They always call it House on promos and stuff, but the title card actually says “House, M.D.” and that’s how it’s listed at Netflix. Anyway, great show, on Tuesday nights.
