Hi folks! So this "Sheep" thing has been making the rounds across the various DVDTalk forums, and I thought I'd try my hand at a TV one. To ease myself into it and also keep my sanity, this is going to be a solely "Sheep" round, but if successful I plan to do a "Reverse Sheep" as well.

We are at 60 players. The game is now CLOSED.

I would start tomorrow, but not sure about doing it over the weekend, so I think the game will start on Tuesday, June 30.

The Rules

# The object of the game is to think like everyone by picking answers to questions that are the most common.
# Example Sheep question: "Name a popular reality television series." A good answer would be American Idol and a bad answer might be Petticoat Junction.
# The object of the game is to get the highest score. Points are awarded based on how many people give any one particular answer. For example, if 3 people answer As the World Turns, 2 answer All My Children, and 1 answers Petticoat Junction, they would get 3 points, 2 points, and 0 points, respectively. There are no "wrong" answers in Sheep.
# You may not cheat by using Google, Wikipedia, etc. Use only what's in your head.
# Please send in your answers to me via PM (I've cleared my PM box so I should have enough room for 30 participants). Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Those who do not do this will be penalized 10 points right off the bat.
# For your convenience, I've made an Excel file where you can prepare your answers. When finished, just select the column of answers and send that in as text via PM. Don't email me the Excel file, that would be silly. (Google version here).
# You have until at least Monday, June 29 at 9:00AM EDT to send in answers. The game will begin sometime that week. Please be gentle; it's my first time.

The Questions

# Name one United States over-the-air broadcast television network.
# Many people over the years have hosted a late-night talk show. Name one of them.
# Name any television show created by J.J. Abrams.

# Name any half-hour or hour-long scripted program created by a woman.
# Name a currently airing half-hour comedy. “Currently airing” here is defined as a show scheduled to air new episodes anytime after August 31, 2009.
# Name any television series that spawned a theatrically-released motion picture.
# Name any theatrically-released motion picture that spawned a television series.

Oh crap! Let me change that! Thanks for letting me know!

Edit: I'm not sure if I can. Anyone know? The Bus? I remember that his was read-only and I had to save a copy to edit.

Good questions. You may want to hold off on going through the results until the movie one is over though. JasonF didn't get a whole lot of love in the Comic Book sheep due to cross over.

is the snl cast member current or ever?

It's exactly how the question is written.

OK, PM sent. As I doubt most people could name 2 current cast members, I will go with the best all time cast member. If others are so inclided, they will do the same
