Rezny, If you're going to start threads like this then please give the other players time to answer. You started this topic on 3-27 and then gave the answers 2 days later. There's a lot of games being played here and it might take some time to get to your's. Also, you took away any fun the others might have had by naming all 16 game shows that ComedyGuy gave abbreviations for. You could've named a few and then give someone else a chance.
