(answers may overlap; no looking up names. This is for scripted shows-- The Daily Show doesn't count)
How many tv show producers/creators can you name off the top of your head? List them.
1.Joss Whedon
2. David Greenwalt
3. Marti Noxon
4. Rob Thomas
5. Russel T. Davies
6. Chris Carter
7. Aaron Sorkin
How many television scriptwriters can you name off the top of your head?
1. Jane Espensen (sp?)
2. David Fury
3. [Ultimate] Drew Gooddard
4. Joss Whedon
5. David Greenwalt
6. Marti Noxon
7. Rob Thomas
8. Russel T. Davies
9. David Duchovny (he wrote a few episodes of the XF! That totally counts!)
10. Ben Browder (he wrote for Farscape. That counts too.)
11. Chris Carter
12. Michael Chricton (is he a producer too? I know he made ER)
13. David Kemper (that's the Farscape guy, write?)
Now look at your list. Time for SCORING!
A.) If you can think of more than 3 tv producers/creators, you're well-informed about the shows you like.
B) If you can think of more than 2 tv producers/creators AND at least 2 scriptwriters who aren't also on the producer list, you are a geek.
C) If either of these lists exceeds 5, you're a big geek.
D) If you not only know that some of the episodes were written by stars of the show, but actually know which episodes in particular, you're an ubergeek.
E) If you watched that one episode of Angel just because Samwise Gamgee directed it, you're the best kind of geek.
F) If you know the terms "Ultimate Drew", "Whedonesque", or "got the mustard out", you're a Buffy geek, and I know exactly how you feel.

Will not admit to feeling relieved on IMDBing a certain episode of Due South that the nagging sense of recognition of a guest actress was because she was one of the chicks in All Things, GA's X-Files episode.
Nope. Never.
