**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: None

**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, no smilies, no “list” function, 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: None**

After the cop shows feud it was inevitable… 😉

1. Name a TV medical show from the 2000s.
2. Name a TV medical show from the 80s or 90s.
3. Name a TV medical show from the 70s or earlier.
4. Name the hottest male doctor/nurse on TV (character not actor)
5. Name the hottest female doctor/nurse on TV (character, not actress)
6. Name the TV doctor with the best bedside manner (character, not actor)
7. Name the TV doctor with the worst bedside manner (character, not actor)
8. Name a non-medical show in which a doctor is a prominent character
9. Name a popular disease that always shows up on these medical shows.
10. Other than a hospital room, name a place TV characters tend to give birth.

Very _House_ centric list. I’m guessing it’ll do well with all the fans on the boards here but perhaps it’ll be a bit too myopic. I struggled with #8 for a bit before the epiphany, I wonder where that’ll rank. It probably _should_ be the winner but it’s been out rotation recently and he doesn’t do much doctoring any more.

Since the only medical show I watched on a regular basis was “St. Elsewhere” back in the 80s, I think I’ll sit this one out.
