Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2
Based on the wording of the question, I would say it qualifies (sadly).

If you are going with actual setting, then no it does not count.

If you are going with any setting, then it would count.

Then it should be wrong right according to the wording of the question.

But let's move on for now.

Question 15

Many musicians make guest appearances on television shows. Name one in which Iggy Pop appeared.

I never watched that season, but it didn't sound right to me.

The show went to different places in different years. The short Miami arc didn't take place until 1990.

All over the place. The lead character was an FBI agent and he moved around from story arc to story arc depending on what he was investigating.

Agreed

The Wire, Bam's Unholy Union, Midnight Special and American Dad are wrong, I think. Note that the question was that he appeared, not just that his music was played in a show and not just voicing a character.

Late Night with David Letterman is different than the Late Show with David Letterman. Which one was he on? Based on your previous rulings, 'Letterman' generically shouldn't cut it.

Also wrong, I think. IMDB shows no appearance on The Tomorrow Show, and only an appearance on Letterman NBC show, which had a different title.
