I started this thread in the Games forum, but it didn't really take off, so I thought I'd try it here. While technically a game, it's not like the games that appear in the Games forum, and I think it could belong here...

Anyway, a poster takes the identity of a character from either a book, a movie or a TV show and posts details about that character, and from those details, the other posters have to deduce who that character is. (Note: if the character is from a movie or a TV show, then preferably, the name of the character should be given, rather than the name of the actor.) Anyway, the person who guesses the character correctly then does the same, and the person who guesses that character correctly does the same, and so on...

I'll start...

I am male and the youngest in my family. I was once accidentally left behind when my whole family took a holiday together, and I had to save my house from being robbed. The next time we all tried to take a trip together, I got on a plane to New York by mistake and had an unfortunate run-in with the same two criminals.

Who am I?

I know this!

You are Roseanne Conner, are you not?

Okay...

I am green and I live in a trash can.

Okay...

I'm a bestselling author of political books. I'm female and have long blonde hair. Many conservatives love me. Most liberals think I'm the anti-Christ. :D

I am Jewish, and I have big goofy looking glasses, and curly hair. My friends sometimes call me "Smiley", but not because of my smile.

Sorry guys, I don't mean to nitpick...:) (smiles apologetically)...but the object of the game is to take on the identity of fictional characters, not real people.

I am a single girl living alone in New York City. I have a steady boyfriend who never spends the night.. My father is over -protective. I have an extensive wardrobe. Which is a mystery since I rarely have a steady job.

I'm a policeman from Long Island. I have one brother, an overbearing mother, and a retired father.

Well done, dlemond!

Do you want a turn?

Well done, dlemond!

Thanks, I put it in my previous post.

But here it is again:

I'm a policeman from Long Island. I have one brother, an overbearing mother, and a retired father.

Hmmm...I'm not entirely sure. I'm thinking it might be Robert from Everybody Loves Raymond, but I'm not sure...is that correct?

Yes!

Great! Thank you!

Okay, here's another...

I am a teenage male. I've been kicked out of several boarding schools, and after being kicked out of the latest one, I spent two days alone in New York, where I commented on how phoney everything was. I got roughed up by a horrible guy called Maurice, who stole five dollars from me, hung around with some girls and stopped in to see my kid sister Phoebe. I have a huge problem with growing up; I want to stay a kid forever.

Great! Thank you!

Dorothy Zbornak!!

Here's mine:

I'm a teenage male, and I seem to always be getting into trouble at school. Luckily, my five best friends always seem to help me get out of it, although sometimes they get kinda mad at me for a while because I end up roping them into my schemes and dragging us all down...but it all always works out in the end!

P.S.--One of my best friends is a REAL geek.

Just a guess...Zack Morris from Saved By the Bell?

I may be completely wrong.

Actually, you're DEAD RIGHT!!!!!! :D

Great!

Okay...

I am male, the oldest of four children (two sisters and one brother) and, although my parents are Democrats, I am a staunch Republican. My best friend is in love with my oldest sister. I'm pretty much the brightest person I know, and my baby brother (justifiably) adores me.

Anyway, you can't be annoyed with someone who has a picture of young Andy in their avatar...:)

I am female and I'm something of a tomboy. I have one older brother, and my father is a well-respected lawyer. One of his most famous cases was when he defend a guy called Tom Robinson who was accused of raping a girl. Oh, and I have this weird neighbour who actually turned out to be a really nice guy after all.

Okay, here's another one:

I am a psychiatrist. I used to visit a bar frequently for nine years, but have since moved and I live with my father, his dog, and his physical therapist. I have a brother who is also a psychiatrist, and I am something of a mini-celebrity due to my radio show in which I help solve my listeners' problems.

You're Frasier!

I'm a Distict Attorney with a lust for women. Any woman I can get my hands on will do. Some people call me a heartless sleeze bag, but deep down I have a heart of gold. Who am I?

Are you Dan Fielding from Night Court?

You got it

I'm a mean-spirited waitress with too many kids and a no-good husband who I thankfully don't see too much of. I'm often rude and abusive to customers, and even my friends and family. But I can display a softer side. I'm also very small and superstitious.

NORM!

NORM!

EDIT: Ah, I just noticed your post, MsOrange.

You are Norm Peterson from Cheers. Or, to give the full name, Hilary Norman Peterson.

Talking of Vera, I loved the scene in Thanksgiving Orphans, when she came over to Carla's house, after they'd had the food fight, Diane threw a pie at Sam, but he ducked, and it hit Vera on the face, so when she came on-screen, her face was covered in the pie, and the viewers still didn't get to see what she looked like.

Vera: (coldly) "Charming friends, Norm. Get your coat!"
Norm: (wearily) "Yes, dear."

I am a male, in my thirties, and bold and brash. I was committed to a psychiatric hospital and quickly befriended the other patients. I tried to persuade the nurse to let us watch a baseball game, and when she wouldn't, I pretended the game was on anyway, and soon we were all yelling and cheering at a blank screen. I also took the other patients out fishing and gave them a party, and got a friend of mine to sleep with one of them. I was then given a lobotomy, but my friend set my spirit free by smothering me.

Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle?

I love to go on adventures, or as I like to call it, 'splorin with my five friends, and little brother. With the help of my hand dandy screwdriver, nothing is off limits! There is just so much in this big world to explore and so much to do! That is when my older cousin doesn't ruin it for us, and we end up getting into a pickle. Who am I?

Hmm, I had an idea, but I'm not sure...

I am a kind, generous, good-hearted, gentle-natured man. I work as a cab-driver; I probably couldn't work at another job because, due to drug intake in the 1960s, my brains are a little fried. I'm usually seen in a denim outfit, and I don't know what a yellow light means.

Jim from TAXI?

OK, I'm a doctor at a major hospital in the Northwest. I'm a married man, but I can't seem to keep my hands off one of the interns I work with (and the feeling is entirely mutual!).
