Six Feet Under isn’t a sit-com! I got carried away with trying to beat it. Dammit! Here we go again…☹ ---

I was the tenth person to pick Idi Amin from Uganda and the 38th to pick Grady from Sanford and Son. I’m very impressed with the ingenuity of this thing. ---

They cleaned out the database since the last time I played with this - I had me and several of my friends in there, so that if you answered the questions as yourself it would guess correctly who it was. They’ve changed a few things on it, if I answer as myself it now says I am Overton from Living Single. It never said that before (it used to guess I was Chandler Bing or some guy from La Femme Nikita). ---

That’s weird, I answered as myself, only I said I was female, and it said I was Norm from Cheers. ---

It finally guessed I was Theo from the Cosby Show (69th). ---

Oh my God! This is absolutely freaky!! Three times have I picked someone different, and three times has it gotten it right. First I was Saddam Hussein, then I was Kate from Drew Carey, then I was Mimi from Drew Carey (what computer would think I would be dumb enough to pick from the same show?). . . Each time it telepathetically read my mind, and told me who I was! Now I’ve got the heebie jeebies. . . Tripler I feel probed and violated. ---

After about 3 dozen questions… It wasn’t easy, but I won this time. You are player number 2 to have chosen Jeremy from Sportsnight. Jeremy from Sportsnight was a tough one, but I’ve had a lot of practice. ---

Whoa! It got Judy Hensler from _Leave it to Beaver_ (26th person to be her) and Elaine from _Seinfeld_ (126th). What fun. ---

I foiled it, too…I was thinking about Heddy, the nasty blonde from HERMAN’S HEAD. When I plugged myself in, I got Fonzie from HAPPY DAYS. I’m so proud. ---

I stumped it with Angel (played by Molly Hagan) from _Herman’s Head_. Hmm, on previewing my answer, I just noticed that Ukulele Ike also used a character from that show. ---

I got both Buck from “Married With Children” & Nicole from “My Two Dads” although it just refered to her at “That girl from My Two Dads”. & by answering as myself… “I guess that you are Pinky Tuscadero from Happy Days! Am I right?” ---
