50% ;) 2 and 6 are slightly less well known than the others - will be interested to see if anyone gets them. I may have to issue a clue... :D

#3 has got to be Torchwood. I'm not sure of any of the others, but #8 sounds a lot like Deep Space Nine to me.

Right on both counts - maybe Wales was a bit of a giveaway... I was wondering if anyone would get the DS9 one. It's amazing the keywords IMDB assigns. I think 6 is my favourite :D

Well, 'wobbly sets' means pretty much anything before the 80s. It could be Blake's 7, Battlestar Galactica, Lost in Space, or something else completely.

I know :) It just made me smile that it was an actual keyword in the IMDB index.

Were any of those a guess, btw? *hint hint*

Oho, so it is one of the above!

Hmmm . . . Blake's 7. :)

You're on a roll, woman. But I think you're probably the only one who would have got that... :)

2 out of 3 ain't bad :) I've only ever seen one episode of numb3rs and found it too strange to go on with...

Ah. I only really watch it cos I loved Northern Exposure.
I don't watch Without a Trace as it started when I used to work nights so I missed too much of it to get into it. Now I just watch too much anyway to add another show to the list :)

Oh of course! D'oh! You have to be right.

Yup, you're both right. Though in this list, I figured it might throw people a bit :)

Damnit, someone beat me to the Friends one! That, Quantum Leap and TW were the only ones I knew.

#9 - CSI New York? Is there such a thing?
#5 - Stargate? Never watched the TV show, so I have no idea if it's funny or not, but I have a vague idea that in the film it's the army that's messing about with the portal wotsit.

Quantum Leap? *checks list* Um, sorry love, it's not on there...

But yes, #5 is Stargate - a fandom I've sadly neglected lately. *resists urge to take on another fandom*

*headdesk* By Quantum Leap I clearly meant Blake's 7. Obviously. With them being such similar shows an' all...

*wanders off to find brain*

Right, right and right :) I wondered if anyone would get the Without a Trace one - it's suitably vague...

hehe, funnily enough that's the one that came to me straight away. i love that show. of course the FBI was what did it for me, otherwise it could have been CSI or L&O. didn't watch much of numbers so didn't think of that, so without trace was the obvious one to me.
