Yeah, same here - I just don’t watch enough TV to know the show. I could look it up, but it would cost me my self-respect. I would just as soon throw down my panache…
I’ve watched it exactly once, and that was because a high-school friend was in that episode. Couldn’t tell you a thing about the regular cast except that one character was a Vietnam vet.
So, do we concede?
I concede. I yield. Uncle.
Ok, since you all threw in the towel, I am:
SPENCER REID from Criminal Minds
I’ll be back later for the new game, unless you wanna wait a couple days for August.
Six days is too long to wait. I’m addicted to Botticelli.
Give me awhile, I’ll also start a new thread.
Well done, etv78! Contemporary TV turns out to be surprisingly tricky - good choice!
OK, then. But… does anyone else know Spencer Reid?
I don’t, but according to Wikipedia, the show has been in the US top 20 for the last 5 seasons. So I’d say enough people know. (Probably more than would know who Sandro Botticelli is, unless you said "the guy that painted the naked chick on the clam (Obligatory Simpsons reference))
For what it’s worth, if you type ‘Spencer R’ into google, he’s the first one that comes up.
