    Both correct nevertheless. And no, they didn't have character names.

    Right program, but it's not the Simpsons - they live at 742 Evergreen Terrace. There's a clue in the name of the street though.

    Damn. Just after I'd posted the clues too.

    Well done, another quiz bites the dust. Better ring 001-555-2368 and ask ol' Jim to investigate how on earth Vegy managed to suss those out :)
