I have seen zero total episodes of those TV shows. I have seen every episode of "Fargo" ($600), "Riverdale" ($800), and "Westworld" ($1,000). I have seen every episode of the current incarnation of "Doctor Who" ($400), i.e., since it returned in 2005. I have seen zero episodes of "This Is Us" ($200).

This makes me curious if there's ever been a film for which that distinction made a difference. It's possible to dream up scenarios of course. A rap-related movie premieres on New Year's Eve in Compton. Beverly Hills Cop [X] does the same in its eponymous city. The movie reuniting the cast of The B...

Guess I'm the only one here who's willing to admit to watching "Mike Tyson Mysteries" on Adult Swim. One of the characters in that cartoon is the ghost of the Marquess of Queensberry. (The series is a parody of Hanna-Barbera's entire 1970s animated output, so he's basically its version of The Funky ...

I (MearesK) have a premier membership and will be happy to create a rundle for dummies...

I believe you need to be at the Commissioner's Circle level to create a private rundle.

From the Current Events thread...

I'm still trying to figure out how Hawaii has Interstates.

"Interstate" is a brand name, not a literal description.

Useless trivia question. I-10 intersects every x5 trunk except for 1. Which one? I-85, which only gets as far south as Montgomery, Alabama. (I've been to the I-65/I-85 interchange, where I-85 ends. I've also been to all of I-10's interchanges with I-x5s except for I-25 in Las Cruces, New Mexico.)

Considering they sent the wrong copy of the episode that aired nationally a few weeks ago (remember the Israel/Palestine controversy?), I'm actually a little bit surprised that oopsies don't happen more often.... Those two situations aren't really comparable -- the first one was an error as part of...

Subject line altered for clarification.

For FJ!, I said American Samoa, thinking I remembered that they'd changed from right-hand to left-hand drive in the not-too-distant past.

Turns out it was actually the independent nation of Samoa (which made the switch in 2009).

ABC already has a game show on the air that requires three contestants... "Press Your Luck."

Wonderfalls! I'd been looking for somewhere to watch that, and never found anywhere. I had only seen the first episode and it seemed so promising that I still want to see the rest of them. It was released on DVD (I know because I own it), so I wouldn't be surprised if you can check it out of a loca...

"Who do you want to replace you?" "Betty White."

"What's your favorite movie?" "How Green Was My Valley."

I thought with a name like "DNA Makes News," it was going to be a current events category, not about something from 1993.

Probably the single biggest factor in not doing it live is that would mean it wouldn't be in prime time for the entire country. Actually that factor probably makes it a non-starter. I think it's more likely that a hypothetical "J! Live" would be in prime-time everywhere, because it would air on a d...

Meh. Chase Field's introduced a clear bag policy. I need to go shopping...

Need to figure out a way to work "security theater" and "sign stealing using electronic means" into the same op-ed piece about baseball.

It was annoying that ABC spoiled how many matches this tournament would last before it had started airing. (Come on, whoever's responsible for TV listings -- you really didn't think about that?) It did not get spoiled by every TV listings provider -- in fact, this was the TV listings page in Wednes...

Fogey is spelled wrong by the writers.

Merriam-Webster approves of the "fogy" spelling. (In fact, they say "fogey" is a less common variant.)
