I’m Miss Kitty, from Gunsmoke. I’ve heard the name, but I’ve never seen the show. Is this good or bad?

> [@Menocchio](#):

> I’m “Matt Camden from TV show”. Wow. There’s a show called TV Show? Where’s that, on the generic channel? What is it, between “Sports Programming” and “Commercialized Journalism Show”.

Matt Camden is the oldest son on Seventh Heaven (not that I ever watch that fluff 🙂 ).

I’m Chief O’Brien from DS9.  
I can see that.  
BUT…I do fix a lot of stuff, whether I like to or not is kinda subjective.  
Change a couple of questions (do you LIKE to fix things) which then asks (if I have a beard) and I turn into papa smurf. 😃 I can see that too.

I played as Fred Mertz from _I Love Lucy_ and got guessed as Chandler from _Friends_. Excuse me while I go get bleach to scrub that from my brain. :eek:

It thinks I’m Algonquin J. Calhoun from Amos 'n Andy. I’m not very familiar with the sow, but that _can’t_ be a good thing, can it?

That’ll do… and only the lack of a shoe-phone prevented :

Personally, I find myself more like Xander from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but the demon questions rule that out for me. Oh well.

Apparently I’m a quirky, loveable British psychopath with a perchance for random destruction. Could be worse.

I played it as Noriega when this site was posted last year . . .

When I played as myself, I came out as Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons . . . yeesh.

Wow. It thinks I’m Yasser Arafat. Just 'cuz I wanted to take over Israel… I mean, that’s not fair. I’m into global domination, and Israel would only be one small part of that life-long dream…

I’m someone I never heard of – **Renee Camden** (?) from _Earth:Final Conflict_. Could anyone fill me in on her?

Actually, I had a near miss. For a while there, I swear I was heading for Diane from _Cheers_. Thank heaven I was never left at the alter!! 😃

But she was jilted headed FOR the alter. Her fiance’ and mentor, Sumner Sloane left her in the very first episode. That’s close enough 😃  
or did you mean that **you** personally haven’t been left at the alter?

Is the holodeck available? Computer…I’ll have two, no, make that three Cardassian lasses in fishnet stockings please. 😉

I don’t know what the hell Papa Smurf is all about. He just looks cool to me.

I managed to stump it when I played as Amy Cassidy from Bosom Buddies. When I played as myself I turned out to be Kate from the Drew Carey show. I can live with that.

I’ve never seen the show, but apparently I’m …“The Grand mother from The Kumar’s at #42!”

Well, it’s got the first bit right, as I am a grandmother.

Though they both start with an **I** - I’m bloody Irish, NOT Indian!

I would have greatly preferred to be a character in Star Trek or Babylon 5, though. ☹
