Well I did add another question to the database. In theory the site should only miss a character once, and once someone adds it it should be able to find it from then on.

I don't know, it didn't get Kramer...

Also, it figured I was Chandler when I was thinking of Ross...

It didn't get Frasier, either.

Of course, I don't watch enough sit coms to know enough details about the characters to answer accurately.

Yeah, you have to know a fair bit about the characters and watch the shows fairly frequently.

I think thats why it didnt get them. This thing is amazing it got "Lloyd Braun" from Seinfeld for god sakes!

It's not too strong on The Wonder Years characters. Winnie Cooper and Kevin Arnold were both no-go's.

i tried kelly bundy and it came up with lizzie something. i added a question aboot the character's father beating up people in strip clubs, that should do it.

also professor farnsworth of futurama came out as choda boy from orgasmo (!), a question regarding doomsday devices hopefully will clear that up.

Is "the wonder years" really a sitcom though?

despite my warning that katherine the great was a monarch and an historical figure and thus likely not on the site's database, my roomate nonetheless tried and came up with condoleeza rice!

I've tried this one before. It's pretty accurate. This time it got Basil Fawlty, Prince Edmund from Blackadder, and Jeff from Coupling.

It guessed Arnold Drummen, just missing Willis. Pretty neat.

What number of people did you all get that had tried the person you chose?
I chose Janice from Friends, which it got, and said I am the 4th person to try that.
