How many questions are left?

One.

I just counted up and can confirm that 19 questions have been used up.

Those who haven't guessed yet should expend their free guesses.

After the last question you all will get more five guesses.

Then I win.

say a fictional breed of dog or something like that No because I think that we established that we cannot assume it's even a generally real type of animal. See my commentary about Clifford the Big Red Dog. It's tough for me to give hints or clarify further because you will probably immediately get ...

Interested what you mean about it being intentionally uncomfortable JECE, don't quite follow

I'm not sure what's so hard to follow, to be honest. How might celebrating Armistice Day make you feel when you know that there is a full-scale war in Europe?

Wikipedia specifically calls Rex a dog.

Be careful here. There is more than one reason why it might not be clear-cut whether or not this is a real type of creature. Consider scenarios where you could reasonably answer either yes or no.

I didn't say that gimix was saying that he only respects women one day per year. That's what you said, and I didn't dignify your comment with a response.

I was just pointing out that the feeling of discomfort is by design, not an unintended side effect.

I think that it is a good idea to have a sandbox. I found this sandbox very helpful when analyzing complicated board states: http://gamesbyemail.com/Games/Politics/Judge In case it helps, a decade ago webDip user SunZi released "Little Dipper", a useful Android app Diplomacy sandbox based on webDip ...

I always feel a bit uncomfortable when I think women should be respected for the remaining 364 days of the year far more than they actually are, not just today. That said, I'm happy to join Jamie and give my Best Wishes to All Women here and everywhere Uh, the point of International Women's Day is ...

Could be some animal or an alien or a fantasy character. Does this character feature in a world with sentient animals? I assume you mean sentient animals not including humans? I don't think our humble question master ever specifically said which way he interpreted this, he just answered "no". Can w...

To fellow guessers: does anyone have a good way to sort through this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_f ... n_programs

I can make it even harder to sort through this list by reminding you all that only one film appearance is not obscure.

Check the banner at the top. You can switch back if you like, apparently.

Two questions is not enough to go for a timeframe I think. The genre might be an option, but I think maybe the origin will be more useful.

Was the TV show where the character first appeared in English?

Yes

Remember, remember, the 5th of November, the Gunpowder treason and plot! I hope you are refering to Guy Fawkes Day, and not to the film, "Vendetta," which while quoting the G.F. song/poem, has nothing to do with the sentiment or concept of Guy Fawkes Day itself... Yes (obviously, given the context)...

When this character first appeared on TV, was it portrayed in the form of a puppet, or played by someone wearing a costume?

(Note: This is not an either/or question. If the creature was portrayed in either puppet or costume form, answer "yes", if neither, answer "no".)

No

Remember, remember, the 5th of November, the Gunpowder treason and plot!

Remember that you can't set conditions on asking questions, folks. See Commandment Ⅲ. Even if the question is useless, it will count as a question if you ask it.
