Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep- Round 2 - Page 36

Groucho · 07-06-09, 02:38 PM

I am ready to challenge any and all "outside the box" answers.

macnorton · 07-06-09, 02:38 PM

Yup MTV does have an HD channel.

*I am not trying to cause trouble, but I was positive there was one. My cable provider carries it, but no idea if it is a "basic" channel.

Red Dog · 07-06-09, 02:38 PM

Acc'd to the DirecTV guide, there is a MTV HD channel on 331.

Venusian · 07-06-09, 02:39 PM

according to wikipedia:

Quote:

Recently, MTV began broadcasting "MTV HD," a 1080i high definition simulcast of MTV. Only newer shows such as the new season of The Real World are aired in full 16:9 HD, and all other programs are shown in 4:3 with the video upconverted. DirecTV and Dish Network carry the HD channel.

Tracer Bullet · 07-06-09, 02:39 PM

I don't believe that "MTV" is in the name of any HD channel.

now about gary shandling...

BadlyDrawnBoy · 07-06-09, 02:41 PM

You are incorrect Tracer..

Tracer Bullet · 07-06-09, 02:41 PM

This next question should spur some debate... there are three answers that were split pretty evenly, but two people gave an answer that I'm not sure about. I'll let you guys debate it.

I concur...totally forgot about this one

Tracer Bullet · 07-06-09, 02:49 PM

Here's my question: according to my research, Wiseguy was "set" in Miami for its third season, which didn't air until 1990.

Tracer Bullet · 07-06-09, 02:50 PM

How do you guys want to interpret the question?

It's both brilliant and dumb. There was a Wiseguy arc set in Miami, but that arc didn't air until 1990. So:

Quote:

Let's make this interesting. Name a show set in Miami that aired new episodes during the 1980s.

I would say it's wrong. The show wasn't set in Miami -- a particular arc of the show was set in Miami.
