TV Quiz
Pick four TV shows you like:
1. Avatar the Last Airbender
2. The Office
3. Modern Family
4. How I Met Your Mother
(Tried to pick mainstream shows with a large cast… since I’m pretty sure most people reading would be like, “What the hell is Being Human?!” …If I included Being Human…)
Who’s your favorite character in 2?
Jim Halpert. Funny, caring, cute and tall—NUFF SAID. I sat through “License to Wed” for Mr. John Krasinski! IN THE THEATER. And I forgave him for that. That’s true love.
Who’s your least favorite in 1?
Uh, no one? Let’s do favorite again! My favorite is Azula. Crazy bitches get me every time!
What’s your favorite episode of 4?
Slap Bet (S2), with all its Robin Sparkles goodness. Second fave is the Pineapple Incident (S1).
What’s your favorite season of 4?
Season 2, hands down.
How long have you watched 1?
I admit it: I was slow to come around… the summer season 3 ended (the last season), I decided to start watching and subsequently watched the entire series in about two weeks.
How did you become interested in 3?
Pretty much hooked me with the first commercial I saw. Yeah, boring answer, I know.
Who’s your favorite actor in 4?
NPH FOR THE WIN!
Which show do you prefer - 1, 2, or 4?
1 is overall the best. I had this crazy obsession with 2 in high school and people would keep buying Office-themed birthday and Christmas presents, so that’ll always have a soft spot in my heart, no matter how mediocre it is nowadays. In high school The Office went from becoming that weird show about an office (“who’d wanna watch that?!”) to being super popular, so I switched my main loyalties to HIMYM, like a hipster who finds that his favorite indie band has suddenly hit the radio. Then my new indie fave (people used to ask me if “How I Met Your Mother” was a reality show…sigh) got super big too… so now I don’t know how to make myself cool and alternative. Double sigh.
Which show have you seen more episodes of - 1 or 3?
I’ve seen every episode of both, but since Modern Family is only in its second season, Avatar wins.
If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Probably Lily, even though she is my least favorite character. She currently seems to be the most satisfied of the group, as a kindergarten teacher with a loving husband. Awwww. Marshall hates his job, Ted can’t find love, Barney uses women to for fleeting moments of happiness, and Robin is a mess.
How would you kill off your favorite character in 3?
Hm… I think my favorite character may just be Cam and Mitchell (yes, I know that’s two). I’ll say Cam for the sake of my scenario: Lily is in danger (captured by the Viet Cong, or like, giant clowns), and Cam finds and saves her, but suffers fatal wounds in the process. He dies a hero for his child, which I think is the way he would like to go out—as dramatically as possible.
Give a random quote from 3
Mitchell: Leave it to the gays to raise the only underachieving Asian in America.
Would a 1/3 crossover work?
SURE. I would love to see the Dunfys battle the fire nation with the Aang Gaang. It’d kind of be like “The Incredibles”!
Pair two characters in 4 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple
Lily and Barney. The two kids are cute together, and I think Lily could keep Barney on his toes, while Barney would be a good outlet to all her energy.
Overall which show has a better cast - 3 or 4?
Both are flawless. All my shows have a flawless cast. Woot!
Which has the better theme music - 2 or 4?
Number 2: Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo…. Doo Doo Dum Dum Da Da Da Da DA. I like to imagine Kevin, Darryl and Creed rocking out the theme music.
