do'h! I removed my guess. It's just that at first I didn't see that someone got in before me. All the ones that initially jumped out at me were taken too. :(


But I am looking over the list carefully now and will hopefully not get stumped.

thanks... to be fair I'm a bit of a tv junkie-- so it wasn't too hard...

I will admit Tam stumped and surprised me with the Mighty Hercules. I wouldn't have gotten George of the Jungle or the Bugs bunny one either


and I always get the Family Ties / Growing pains themes confused until I hear the tune... once Tam sang the one song the other theme fell into place.


it was a great quiz frank!
