No, don't worry -- we are not in for another round of snow (at least not that kind) or this survey has not been on the shelf for months or making another round. If you are a Game Of Thrones fan, you know exactly what this means. The final season of Game Of Thrones (GoT) will premiere April 14, and could possibly be the most anticipated TV event of all time, according to entertainment sources. I have not watched the series (one of the few, I know) but even I know the huge impact this show has had on pop culture. If you are in the minority, and have not watched the show, this may be the best time to binge watch the previous 7 seasons. Which of these statements best desribes your attitude towards GoT?
First off, I am a big fan, and love the show -- cannot wait until April 14!

Possibly no show in the history of TV has had as much an influence on pop culture. References to GoT has spilled over to other TV shows and movies, and memes and references are everywhere. You don't have to be a fan of the show to understand its impact. Here are just a few of the many -- how many do you already know about?
The popularity of the show in the country, coupled with its filming locations in Northern Ireland, led to the creation of a show-specific exhibit in the National Wax Museum Plus in Dublin.

References on other TV shows have been everywhere -- Big Bang Theory's Sheldon wielded Jon Snow's sword, Longclaw, Dwight taught Erin the Dothraki language on The Office. Artie reminded his Glee friends about the fragility of their newfound social status using Thrones' ominous warning: "Winter is coming." Numerous other shows, from South Park to Parks and Recreation, have also done so -- the show has been referenced approximately 1,200 times in other shows or movies
