A friend of mine at work just sent me [this.](http://www.smalltime.com/dictator.html) It guesses what sitcom character you are thinking of. It has picked correctly everytime I have tried. Enjoy. ---

I stumped it the first time out. It was close, though. I was thinking Dee from What’s Happening and it guessed Penny from Good Times. It was pretty good, though. (And it didn’t ask me if I was black.) ---

I’m impressed. I chose Tony from **Who’s the Boss?** and it got it right. I think I’ll try Alex P Keaton. Tried it, got that too. Neat site. ---

I was the 81st person to pick Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched (successful guess) 69th person to pick Tootie from the Fact’s of Life (successful guess) I managed to stump with Margie from My Little Margie and Hazel (but I don’t remember enough about the shows, so it might’ve been my fault) Still, very cool site. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/youre-ginger-from-gilligans-island/74345.md?page=2)
