It was the fact that I sometimes wear a knit hat that put it over the edge

I forget where I read it, but someone pointed out that an entertaining thing to do with the "Guess the Dictator or Sitcom Character" game is to answer all the questions as you personally would answer them, and hence discover what sitcom character (or dictator) is most similar to you. This turns out to be much more entertaining than taking an online quiz that's actually trying in advance to figure out which Seinfeld character you are, or whatever.

I, incidentally, am Mike Nesmith of "The Monkees". I can live with that.

Um. And I am "Vice-President Al Gore from USA!" I'll leave it up to you if that's closer to a dictator or a sitcom character.

Oh dear. I'm Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties.

Frank Dutton from First Impressions. Is it good or bad that I've never heard of the show, let alone the character?

I'm Michael from Queer As Folk. Two problems with that: (a) that's not a sitcom, and (b) ewwwww.

And I'm Wylene from Boston Common.

Ewww. I suddenly feel the need for a shower.

Mrs. Robinson from Lost in Space, or Carrie from King of Queens, depending on whether a husband counts as a roommate.

I seem to be Chandler. Of course, there were questions in there like "are you welsh" and "Is your father [some random guy]?" (If I say yes to the latter, it turns out I'm [some other random guy] from Wisconsin. Somehow I suspect this thing stopped having only sitcom stars and dictators a long time ago.)

I'm Rob Petrie, obvs. About halfway through I decided that as long as it didn't insist that I live in the burbs, I was trending in this direction.

Hey, I'd watch a sitcom where Mike Nesmith lived upstairs from Rob Petrie. Let's pitch that sucker.
