This quiz is bad. First of all, it is Way down in the HOLE. You misspelled it/misheard it. And even if you didn’t, why not accept that anyway? Secondly, how is teacher, school teacher, or middle-school teacher not acceptable to get Prez’s job? The subject is 100% necessary?

Please fix this. The quiz has potential.

Was it that bad? I must admit English is not my first language, so basic errors like that may happen. It's an honest mistake. Thanks for the constructive feedback. Fixed it now.

Cool idea for a quiz, such an excellent series. A couple of suggestions: "surveil" is the verb, not "surveillance". So it would be "Method used to surveil the drugdealers". Also, I found this question's phrasing confusing: "After quitting the police, Prez finds another job" -- it's obvious in retrospect but I suggest rewording it to something like "After quitting the police, Prez finds another job doing this" or "After quitting the police, Prez's new job." Thanks for making this quiz!

You may want to include a question about the performer of the theme song, since some folks who haven't seen the show will be familiar with him. And if they're not, they should be :)

Thanks for your response! You make some fair points. Can't really disagree with a missing question regarding the artist either.

I wrote 'sheeeit', I think. How many 'e's do you need? Apart from that, I liked the quiz. Thanx.

Adjusted the answer to demand fewer 'e's (and 'i's, you never know) Thanks!
