You are truly evil! I spent two hours I do not have to spare on this. Score, so far, is computer 20, me 10. Being old has the advantage of being able to dredge up some real oldies.

I went for the new "TV" stars
I chose one of the Nanny's from Nanny 911.
Granted the character they gave was in the right profession . . . just not the right person.

You are doing better than I am. :?
Yep...blame those Bristol people for finding it. Hmmm...they must have nothing to do on their off-season.

So far the score is computer 22, me 11 and 1 draw (the database kept crashing for Luthor from Coach).

Just from reading the questions, it would seem that it is based almost entirely on newer or current society. So if you choose old ones, you're likely to win. :-)
Whee, I broke the test, cookie time!

It didn't seem to know Bertram from "When Things Were Rotten" .. it had a VERY good guess, though - Edmund BlackAdder. (I think it knows better now! Don't try Bertram!)

Actually, It has caught me on some really ancient stuff from the fifties. Dang, I'm feeling old...wait...I AM old!

I take no responsibility for any addiction to this game.

WOW! I loved that show! I thought I was the only one who remembered it! It was so totally the prototype to Men In Tights! Ok, thanks for the tip!

I can't believe that the only character from Knight Rider that it knew was KITT!

Hi My name is Bronya and I also am addicted to Stump the Computer.I had the computer win on quite a few TV shows from the 50's-back when I was a wee one too... It must be male-he got Annette Funicello from the Mickey Mouse Club in just a few quesses-Dang, that girl still has it!

BTW - it is also learning historical and popular but non-sitcom/dictator characters. It got Hilary Clinton and Queen Elizabeth II, for example.

I played once, and won with Charlie Young from-- of course-- The West Wing.
I will not play again. I'm walking away. I'm not going back.
Probably.

OK-I was just going to try and stump it with another West Wing character (yes, it guessed Leo McGarity)
1 hour later... :roll:

I've been trying with anime characters, and only managed to stump it -twice-, once with Miss Readmean, from ROD, and once with Dilandau from Escaflowne. That surprised me. I didn't think many people would have picked anime...

It knows Anime, Cartoon Network, and British comedies. It says "BWWWWAAAHHHHAAAHHHAAA" while you're playing with it now. :twisted:
