According to your real-life personality and lifestyle, what _fictional television character_ do you most resemble?

myself: I’m going to have to say **George Costanza** of Seinfeld. ⭕rolleyes:

Josh Lyman from _The West Wing_. I figure I’ll be doing politics as my career, so what better show than that. I’m not as good looking as Sam, I’m sorta neurotic like Josh, but not as weird as Toby, or forceful like CJ. I’ll stick with Josh.

**Red Foreman** from that 70’s show.

I’s just nasty.

In some ways, Frasier Crane, because I can be an incredibly obsessive person. And sometimes just plain neurotic, and I do like to wear short skirts. Oh god, I think I may be turning into Ally McBeal. :o

I’m kind of an amalgamation of Peter Gibbons from Office Space, Hyde from that 70s show and Chandler (but not as “gay”).

I’m Chandler too. I have his style (sweater vests do wonderful things for me), and even some of his vocal mannerisms. It’s scary.

A younger, female version of Sam from _The West Wing_. Geeky and idealistic.

( **Number Six** : how YOU doin’? I love me some Giles…)

Guess I should clarify. I’m a _female_ Chandler. With a bit of Monica thrown in for good measure.

There is a scientific way to answer this question. Go to  
[the guess the dictator site](http://www.smalltime.com/dictator.html) and answer the questions as they apply to you. Unless you actually ARE a ruthless dictator, you will didcover your TV alter-ego.

Apparently I am Sam Seaborn from the West Wing. I have no idea who this is, but it has got to be better than what I would have said without the scientific method - Kotter.

I’m Alex Keaton from Family Ties. That’s actually pretty accurate except I’m center-left and he’s, well…

That’s too funny. Even though I said I had kids, it said I was Monica from _Friends_, just like I said above. :eek:
