15/20? I'll take it...
20/20 for this Shatnerologist!

I got 18/20 correct.
Let's try another lesser-known role for Shatner. Which of these "My Little Pony" characters did he provide the voice for? (And for extra credit, who voiced the other two?)
1. Cheese Sandwich
2. Grand Pear
3. Discord

He was also in an episode of Medical Center. Research physician developing a miracle drug. He was an ideal casting choice for the role but I couldn't help seeing Kirk bleed through it. Though it was only about a year after ST ended.
You got 19 out of 20 - Those are some impressive numbers! Nice work, Shatnerologist! Missed #3 - I just assumed that the highest number would be correct. But if I had really thought if it 48 is more than half of the episodes but 19 also seemed to be too few. I'm glad they included some co-stars in a couple of the pictures to make things easier (#12-Robert Vaughn and #16-Sandra Bullock) and I had to take educated guesses on others. But I will definitely take this score.
12/20 I guess I know little about Shatner except 30,000 feet.
Fascinating Captain, 20/20!
19 out of 20. I admit, though, I just guessed on some of them.
Same here.
I admit it. I cheated. Used Wikipedia to get 100%.
10 out of 20 wow he sure done lots in his life, awesome to be that busy! I really don't know much about him all I know is I got Pyramid right!
Got 18 out of 20. Miss the reality show and record album names.
Denny Crane.
15/20. Surprised "TJ Hooker" wasn't mentioned.
And his stint as the Priceline spokesman.
8/10 :/
Oh i meant 8/20.

Hi MeTV Guys,
I don't want to be a pest but the ongoing problem of our posts being posted twice has gotten
worse, now it's 3 or even 4 times. This is probably going to worsen, going by the problem's
progression and your various places to comment are going to be a jumble of clutter.
Won't you please get your tech guys on this?
We'd hate to have to sick Bella Okmyx and his boys on youse, plus other hoods like Eddie Haskell,
the shark that Fonzie jumped over, Racer X and Top Cat's boys.

Top Cat's boys will be the worst. They'll spit hairballs all over you. Not a pretty sight.
Good one.
I agree with you!
