Spot saved

do they have to be separate, if we hold them in the same regard?

You'll have to replace Firefly-it came out prior to this year. Great show though.

February of this year, if I recall.

Since I'm playing thread cop, you'll have to replace Buffy. The OP specifically used Buffy as an example for exclusion. It's in the small print of his first post that nobody ever bothers to read.

Raging Bull is a 2005 release. It came out in February.
