Who's Your TV Alter Ego? #1

So a while ago my brother bought me a book entitled Who’s Your TV Alter Ego?
After thumbing through the book and figuring out some of my alter egos I realized that this book provides countless blog posts because the book includes many of our favorite shows.

Zoe, I dont know how you worked it, but you are equal parts Michael:

"Traditional and idealistic, you're the kind of person who gets more out of doing things for others rather than yourself. Though you're a natural leader and take pride in being a self-starter, you also have a bit of an edge, no doubt from putting up with your family for so long"

and Lucille:

"You're a cruel one - a haughty, ruthless sort who takes pleasure in making others uncomfortable. Acerbic and blindsiding, you demand that people indulge your most delusional requests. You lack a single nurturing bone in your body. To say you're old fashioned is to insult the elderly"

I'll give it a shot, but, since I don't know my singles, soaps, families or architecture, this is a crap shoot.

im feeling a little nervous now- since this is my first interaction with the 613HDBG in 1.5 years (maybe more?) and Chris is probably about to tell me im Buster. Can I be Anyang instead? Hello!

how nice of someone to join us

Chris said...

Dre, you are a Tobias:

"Quirky, compulsive, and more than a little conflicted, you have a natural talent for self-deception. Pretentious and performance-oriented, you think you have it all figured out, though your endless and tiresome journey of self-discovery may yet turn up the real you in the end"

Ms Katie Sherwin (yes, I am a little proud that it was my post that drew you back to the blog) you are equal parts Michael (see zoes results) and Gob!:

"You're a loose cannon-a spoiled and demented con artist whose idea of a good time often crosses the line from playfulness into bullying. Your own best audience, you have a gift for standing out in a crowd, though it might be because you act so cheesy"

Bry, if it is any surprise, you are far and away a Lindsay:

"You're the definition of a hopeless romantic, one who, considering how fashionable you are, is as bad at getting a date as you are at keeping one. Constantly getting in your own way, you end up sabotaging yourself at every turn, though you always look good doing it"

Fuck. T, I think this means I need your cut-off jeans.

Ms Lonina, you are mostly Michael:

"Traditional and idealistic, you're the kind of person who gets more out of doing things for others rather than yourself. Though you're a natural leader and take pride in being a self-starter, you also have a bit of an edge, no doubt from putting up with your family for so long"

but also a good part G.O.B.:

"You're a loose cannon-a spoiled and demented con artist whose idea of a good time often crosses the line from playfulness into bullying. Your own best audience, you have a gift for standing out in a crowd, though it might be because you act so cheesy"

Rand, you are part Lucielle:

"You're a cruel one - a haughty, ruthless sort who takes pleasure in making others uncomfortable. Acerbic and blindsiding, you demand that people indulge your most delusional requests. You lack a single nurturing bone in your body. To say you're old fashioned is to insult the elderly"

and part Buster:

Sheltered and repressed, you're a simple minded wallflower, a creature of habit who's constitutionally averse to change and would rather hide in his room. So what if you are out of touch? Maybe if more people never left the house, the world would be a less frightening place"
