I was a Sesame Street kid. Muppets taught me to read, count, and have manners.
I’m a tad late, however, to Game of Thrones. I’ve been frantically binge watching, trying to catch up before Season 5 begins (or, more likely, ends – I’m nearly through Season 3 as I type).
What do you get when you marry these two shows? Game of Chairs, of course.
How many Game of Thrones references can you catch?
