Question 1 of 10
1. Peanut is sprawled on the floor, doing her best to stay perfectly still. But, the smell of the fake blood is tickling her nose, and she is almost sure she is going to sneeze.
"She didn't stand a chance, Morgan," Agent Hotchner says, handing Derek a torn bit of paper splattered with blood. "Reid, doesn't she look a lot like the last victim?"
Dr. Spencer Reid nods, clears his throat, and says, "And, a lot like JJ."
Peanut ignores the tickle in her nose, and tries not to ruin this take on which show?
Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. The sound booth is a bit small, and Peanut is glad she does not suffer from claustrophobia. This gig is different, since all she has to do is read her lines into the microphone - she didn't have to do hair or makeup! She waits, listening to the dialogue that is currently being taped between Stewie, Lois and Meg. Which animated show - set in Quahog - is she guest-starring in? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Drumming her fingers on the scarred desktop, Peanut puts on her best air of disinterest and turns to face the barred window.
"I'll ask you again," Detective Taylor says, "and I expect an answer. How did you kill him?"
"Don't bother," Danny Messer mutters, clearly fed up with Peanut's attitude. "Let the autopsy tell us. Sid is working on it now. We'll know in a minute."
Peanut is secretly thrilled to be part of which crime-drama?
Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Peanut thumps down a stack of Dunder Mifflin copies in front of Pam, and says "Karen Filippelli wants me to make a set for her as well."
Without glancing up, Pam says, "Fine. Make copies for Jim and Dwight, too."
Peanut is glad her voice didn't wobble as she spoke her first line in which program?
Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Peanut is covered with cuts and bruises, and is trying her best to look dazed witless. "Do you know who did this to you?" Detective Benson asks, reaching for Peanut's hand.
Peanut shakes her head and blinks out a couple of tears.
"I'll call Captain Cragen," Detective Tutuola says, "and tell him you're headed to the hospital with the victim."
Peanut manages a few more tears as she is loaded into an ambulance in which long-running show?
Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Peanut is wearing a very tight top, a short-short skirt, and heels that make her six inches taller than usual. Leaning against a lightpost, she says "I haven't seen Eddie since he got out."
Danno shakes his head. "I don't believe you." He turns to his companion and asks, "What do you think?"
Chin Ho scowls. "I think we ought to book her."
Peanut is going to be arrested in which police drama?
Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. The restaurant is noisy, so Peanut uses her outside voice. "What can I get you two?" She poises her pen on the notepad, and grins at the handsome man seated at the counter.
With a dazzling smile, Patrick Jane says, "I would like a coffee, and a slice of apple pie." He turns to the petite brunette on his left and adds, "And Ms. Lisbon would like - "
"Ms. Lisbon," the brunette interrupts, "would like to order for herself."
Peanut's grin widens as she enjoys her bit part on which prime time show?
Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Pacing in the hospital hallway, Peanut wraps her arms around herself and sniffles a bit. Reaching the far wall, she turns, then stops as a trio of doctors exit her daughter's room. "Well? What's wrong with her?"
"We think it is lupus," Dr. Hadley says.
"Thirteen thinks it is lupus," Dr. Taub corrects, "Foreman and I do not."
On which show is Peanut playing the distraught mother?
Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Peanut is having trouble keeping a straight face. "I think I prefer the first house we looked at."
"Of course you do," Evelyn sniffs. "Walden thought it was a bit small though."
Peanut chokes back a giggle, and says, "At least there's no hide-a-bed for Alan!"
What sit-com is Peanut guest-starring on?

Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. Playing a corpse yet again, Peanut holds her breath as Ducky picks up a huge scalpel. "Mr. Palmer, have you taken care of everything so far?"
"Yes, Doctor Mallard," Jimmy says. "And I sent the trace from under her fingernails up to Abby."
"Good man," Ducky says. "So, let's see what this poor young woman has to tell us."
Peanut is about to be autopsied on which show?
Hint

The show is divided into two more or less equal halves. In the first half, there is the crime and the investigation, and in the second, the court procedures. Occasionally the stories are loosely based on recent real-life crimes.
