**Object of the game:**  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

**Rules:**

1. No reading the thread before answering. This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: See below

**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, do not use the “list” function, no smilies, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST! If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

**Scoring:**  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

**Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: See below.**

1. Besides Hawkeye, name a character on M_A_S\*H.
2. Besides Sam, name a character on Cheers.

Had to wikipedia 3, 7, and 8; I’m guessing 9 will pick up some votes by the power of suggestion from Belushi’s name being mentioned. I predict 5 will be a conch. (ETA - guess not)

Before this gets out of hand, I think #10 should be specified as “live-action,” since “ensemble” to me has no meaning for an animated show. Am I wrong?

9 – John Belushi isn’t a character, so I figure the “name a character” doesn’t apply for this one.

10 – will we go for old shows or new shows? What to do!?! Will I wish I’d answered Newhart? Probably.

Too late! I can’t change the requirements after people have posted.
