Now look at your list. Time for SCORING!

A.) If you can think of more than 3 tv producers/creators, you're well-informed about the shows you like.

B) If you can think of more than 2 tv producers/creators AND at least 2 scriptwriters who aren't also on the producer list, you are a geek.

C) If either of these lists exceeds 5, you're a big geek.

D) If you not only know that some of the episodes were written by stars of the show, but actually know which episodes in particular, you're an ubergeek.

E) If you watched that one episode of Angel just because Samwise Gamgee directed it, you're the best kind of geek.

F) If you know the terms "Ultimate Drew", "Whedonesque", or "got the mustard out", you're a Buffy geek, and I know exactly how you feel.

I guess it comes as no big surprise to you that I'm both an ubergeek and a Buffy geek right? lol
