Sorry it's taken so long for me to respond to this. I'm always happy to see my little ideas taking root elsewhere; you've become quite the proponent of that!

Since comments can no longer be colored, I'll just have to bark out a SPOILER ALERT. What I can do, though, is not directly mention the nature of the lists (although for the best of these, knowing the answer gives the list away).

1) Book. I still haven't watched the show, but I knew enough from 'Cobb' and 'Tam' to know the nature of the list and what I'd have to look up.

2) McCloud. ("Chief!" "McCLOUD!!") I should have gotten this one FAR sooner. Very good one!

3) Charm. Got it right away - it was the subject of an MIT Mystery Hunt puzzle I worked on.

4) Roosevelt. Amusingly, you could add Kennedy to the list and have the same answer, although the subject would be MUCH smaller (and a small proviso would need to be allowed for).

5) Hamilton. This one and the preceding make a nice diptych! I can't help but think they'd be better off in the other order, though. (My first two from this entry are a similar diptych, and I had the same reasoning for ordering them as I did.)

6) Trini. I knew it was some lame kids show, just not which one. I wish I hadn't have looked it up. Here's one based on something I thought this one might have been - it's actually a pretty good one:

Zack, Kelly, Lisa, Jessie, A.C., and one other...
7) Godric. I'm happy to report I had no idea and had to look it up.

8) ...If it isn't Two, then I have no idea. And I'd have no idea why even if it were. Given how very generic that sequence is, this list is either epic win or epic fail; which it is depends on the answer, which I hope you'll provide.

9) Wendy O.. Awesome. Got it right away, of course, but that doesn't take away from this being one of my favorites here.

10) Ocean. I had to look it up. But I shouldn't have had to. This one is perfect. This is exactly the sort of prime example of "And One Other..." I like to come up with. Well done.

And now I can delete that message in my LJ inbox I've kept for months to remind me to answer this! I also just posted a new one in its own entry. - ZM
