Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Outer space (often simply called space) comprises the relatively empty regions of the universe outside the atmospheres of celestial bodies.


hmm...if we go with that definition, Earth2 is out, MST3k is in

Earth has been ruled be an incorrect answer. Sorry, Wazootyman. These 8 points are for you.

Your Sheepmaster has to take a short break. We will start up again in approximately 30 minutes.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Things are going to be even worse for me in the next question. The "airing today" made it tough.

I don't even remember what I put for the next question, that is how bad my answer is.

I pretty much blanked - I could only think of one show, and I don't think it's a good answer for this question.

I put 60 minutes. No way that would have been successful in the 70s.

I had to intentionally violate the stipulation on #13, because I couldn't think of any good answers that fit.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

All kidding aside, I can think of at least three reasons why a show airing today couldn't have aired in the 1970s. I went with what I think is the best example of one of those reasons, and is also a good example of another of those reasons.

Mine is a deliberate wrong answer on #13 hoping for Sheep points.

I was very tempted to put Will & Grace for that reason, but I refuse to play wrong answer sheep (intentionally anyhow), even if it helps.

This one and the next one are going to bury me. I would be shocked if my answer to the chanel question is not unique.

No matter how you cut it Will & Grace is a TERRIBLE answer for question #13.
