1. I missed two.
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 12:12 PM by Orsino
One I completely messed up by accident, but the other (about connections to other shows) is completely unfair. I wuz robbed!

edit: must also admit that I got lucky on the s-word one.

2. 12 correct...the connection to the television shows in Spamalot
was unfair...I almost said Terry Gilliam is no longer a US citizen, but blew that one...can't recall the third I missed.

3. Two wrong
I missed the fictional cheese (the horror! shame on me!) and just picked "spam" for a MP namesake instead of all.

Too many easy questions--I thought I'd do worse than that, actually.

Missed one...the Spamalot question. It was a choice between Grey's Anatomy and Curb Your Enthusiasm and I picked the wrong one. x(

8. I got 13
I missed the Venezuelan Beaver Cheese and one other I forget. 3 of the cheese names sounded kind of familiar to me, though.

12. Ah - that's right, I missed the Spamalot one, too
I guessed on Graham Chapman being the first person to say "shit" on TV, too, and got it right.
