Well, that knowledge obviously served me well on the Movie --> TV question, but I didn't think anybody here was quite that much of a Whedon-bot.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

My answer is good if you discount Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, Chevy Chase, Chris Farley, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Mike Myers, Chris Rock and Adam Sandler and probably 10 others.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

I'm going to guess that the top 5 plays out like this:

1. John Belushi
2. Will Ferrell
3. Bill Murray
4. Adam Sandler
5. Chevy Chase

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

I went recent on this one. My guess is that it will drop me in the standings as hard as Letterman did. Of course, I suspect a lot of Carson answers may have been spurred by McMahon's passing.

Oh, also, going with Joanie Loves Chachi was totally worth losing ground for.

Don't you mean this is DVDtalk where people have such vitriol for Whedon that they even piss and moan about his show getting a measly 6 points in a sheep question?

That, too. Whedon will eventually bring on the great DVDTalk Civil War.

Even though I never watched Carson, his name is synonymous with Late Night Talk Show for me.

I too picked Joanie Loves Chachi over Laverne & Shirley (and Mork & Mindy). I figured people would forget Mork & Mindy was a spinoff and imagined more people would remember Joanie Loves Chachi if only because the name of the show immediately calls back to two of Happy Days' main characters.

I am about to get screwed on this question - was debating the akroyd, belushi, chase of it all for too long and then literally flipped a coin for it. Damn Chuck - making me put chevy back in it.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

Not that it matters cause I'm in the bottom third, but I totally misread the SNL question. I thought it was current SNL cast member, and you know how great they are.

Hey the Bus or anyone, are there any plans for a random-assed "other" version of this?

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 1

I was cruising to an easy victory before skipping one of the questions. Damn!

I answered Belushi but Akroyd was funnier. Beldar and Zappa. Can't get much better.
