Well, it has been a week since the latest puzzle came out, so it is time for the solutions. I received puzzle responses from Scott, Robert, and Cornucrapia. I also would like to point out that Sarah impressively got the answer to 4 without any help from Google - who knew a physicist would be so awesome at zoology? Her solutions have not been listed below, however, because she lives with me and I am bad at not giving hints. I have reprinted the clues below with their solutions italicized below (and the media category in parentheses).
1.) At an Unknown Location
Lost (Television)
Solved by Scott and Robert
2.) The Manner in which I Became Acquainted with Your Most Recent Female Progenitor
How I Met Your Mother (Television)

3.) The Misplaced Planet
The Lost World (Literature - I believe there is also a television show with the name, but I had Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novel in mind).
Solved by Scott, Ian, and Robert
4.) Lampyridae

5.) Vigorously Cleans

6.) A Story About Two Population Centres

D'oh! Can't believe I didn't get Scrubs!! I was looking for two words, I think =(
Yeah, I think the ones that don't have a one-to-one synonym mapping are usually the most difficult.
I feel bad, because Sabrina and her friend Kat did get the Shakespeare one...I just forgot to send it in.
