“Jace Darnell from My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star!”

[tvtome.com](http://tvtome.com) says it was a show on WB in 2002 that filmed 13 episodes, 8 of which never aired.

Meanwhile, if I decide to claim that I’m a robot, but be truthful about everything else, then I’m a scutter from Red Dwarf.

“I guess that you are Norm from Cheers! Am I right?”

“Do you like beer?”  
and  
“Are you often seen at your favourite bar?” were the clinchers I think…

I’m somebody from “That '70s Show” but I stopped to read all the other responses and now I forget who. It fits though because I am from the '70s.

It’s interesting that so many of us don’t recognize the character the web site guessed us to be. Is that because answering “no” to so many questions channels us into more obscure shows or is it just that dopers tend to be the kind of people who waste their time in front of the computer instead of wasting it in front of the TV?

Despite her reputation, I have met her several times and she is really a sweet, nice woman off stage…not exactly pretty, I’ll grant you that, but funny and down to earth.

By the way…according to the game, I am ROB PETRIE of the Dick Van Dyke show…and I really hated his character on that show. I mean, how many times is it funny to fall over an ottoman? Unless you happen to be in Wisconsin and actually fall over the famous **Otto** man of these boards. That would be funny.

I’m pretty impressed with this engine thing, it even got the right answer when I tried Benazir Bhutto. It spelled both her names wrong, but still!
