GMMR’s Six Degrees of TV Game

April 13, 2007 by  

No, this game has nothing to do with the canceled ABC show, but I thought that since it’s Friday the 13th* we could play a little game to help pass the time until it’s officially the weekend. Most of you know ‘Six Degrees’ works, but for those of you who don’t, here’s how we play.

I’m going to name 2 actors/actresses, and YOU have to connect the two using 6 movies/tv shows or less.

Rules:

  • Since this is a TV blog I’ll allow you to use TV shows as connectors. BUT…you can only use a TV show if the actor/actress was a series regular. If they showed up as a guest star on Law & Order or had a 3 episode arc on JAG it doesn’t count.
  • Both actors must be alive
  • Let’s not make them too hard or it will be a bit too hard.

Here’s an example of how this works:Michael Vartan (Alias) to Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy)

Michael Vartan was on ALIAS with JENNIFER GARNER
Jennifer Garner was in 13 GOING ON 30 with MARK RUFFALO
Mark Ruffalo was in JUST LIKE HEAVEN with REESE WITHERSPOON
Reese Witherspoon was in SWEET HOME ALABAMA with PATRICK DEMPSEY

Once you’ve made your 6 degrees connection share it with everyone in the comments and then you get to choose the next actor pairing for other to try to figure out. Got it? And let’s not make them too hard or no one will want to play.
Ok first up…Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) to Steve Carell (The Office)

    Constructive criticism is normally looked upon as becoming politically incorrect.
