TV Professions Quiz

Just four for me, but I did appreciate the clue in 'Magnum, P.I.'.

I know I'm getting technical here but magician/illusionist wasn't Gob Bluth's profession. He never got paid for any of it (which is the definition of a profession.) He just did it... very badly.

"Illusions, Michael!!"

technically he worked as a waiter in one episode accidentally and was paid for it, so perhaps that should be the answer

I'm surprised Magnum P.I.'s profession isn't at 100%

So am I I laughed so much at that one :)

Especially since it accept P I as an answer. :)

I think that is what they are referring to ;) I didn;t consciously see it, just saw magnum and knew which show it was. Magnum equals mustache haha

I love how it changes "magician" to "illusionist".

like magic ;)

Not sure how I missed Magnum, PI... that one was really obvious.

It's Arrested Development, not Arrest Development. An arrest development is probably something that happens on Cops.

I got a few by mostly guessing and I have't watched many episodes of those, but great quiz idea nevertheless.

proffessor is wrong, there's only one f

I got it the first time I took this quiz... this time I couldn't get "personal investigator" out of my head though that's wrong. I also tried detective and I think just "investigator."

and this time around I discovered that, amusingly, simply "PI" will work.

Please.

Easily one of the best shows of all time.

Maybe accept housewife for housekeeper? Also possibly burger flipper for fry cook?

housewife and housekeeper aren't the same thing; Carole Brady was one and Alice was the other.

Mr. Brady was not married to Alice.

Regardless of the show, if you are single you can't be a house wife?

I know it has the word wife in it, but originially in older english wife didn;t mean you had to be married to someone, in dutch we still have the word wijf, but that too has changed meaning over time, it is not simply woman anymore but more like a swearword you would only say that to/about a female you hate.

We use the word housewoman (translated) and they do not need to be married.

I knew this before, but apparently had forgotten it.. the word woman actually comes from a form of wifeman (wifman), where the first part like I mentioned above still meant woman. So basicly female human.

Ah:

The modern sense of "female spouse" began as a specialized sense in Old English; the general sense of "woman" is preserved in midwife, old wives' tale, etc. Middle English sense of "mistress of a household" survives in housewife

So the wife in housewife means woman in english aswell and not the modern wife (that does not mean I know how it is used though, people could still maybe only use it for married women)

politician should be accepted for president.
