Cancellation isn't part of the question. The wording is "brought back". High viewership for Friends brought it back year after year (until/unless they got multi-year renewals at some point).

None of which matters. Why is a mailing campaign the only "correct" answer in this instance?

The fact remains that Family Guy was brought back due to strong DVD sales. That was an action performed by fans (and action that was more active than simply watching the show). That they weren't trying to get the show back on the air is moot, as intent is not part of the question. I never thought I'd say this, but I think I may have preferred the "there are no wrong answers in Sheep" approach. It sometimes acted as a safeguard against poorly-worded questions, which this one apparently was. It also resulted in less debating. :D |

You can all blame Red Dog for the new wrong-answer bonus/penalty for Sheep questions. Blame him! Do it! It'll feel great!

Re: Star Trek Sheep: The Next Generation
That's fine. I'm already hated for Love Connection. I don't know what these people are bitching about anyhow. They still got their points, and some of us got a few more because of their wrongness. Big deal. It won't matter in the long run due to the super-duper crapshoot jackpot question at the end that we'll get to about the time transparent aluminum is invented by someone handed the formula.

You're right, that did feel great.

My big qualm is with the idea that Family Guy is somehow wrong, and I feel the need to make up for it now since I was too busy actually working to argue over it when the debate was going down. Clearly I need to get my priorities straight. (I actually do like the new wrong answer Sheep "penalty," but I also really disagree with the idea that Family Guy is a wrong answer.) |
Re: Star Trek Sheep: The Next Generation
I've been working all weekend and haven't had time to catch up with this thread until now. It was a fun read and I'll probably try to join another sheep game soon.
Going all the way back to question 1, I think that fans using their wallets to convince a studio that a show has enough value to bring back is fan action. |

Kirk not only told Gillian (was that her name? the marine biologist) about 24th century technology and time travel, he also took her to the future, and no one seemed to mind.
Besides, they only have 2 whales (soon to be 3). Its not like the species is going to survive. The baby whales will not be able to breed unless they inbreed. Maybe Starfleet will start a cloning program and put enough DNA diversity to get the species going again. |

Let the humans 100 centuries later figure out how to deal with it when it returns. It's their problem, not Kirk's. ;) |

Hopefully Starfleet hit the record button when the probe asked its questions and the whales answered. Our luck would be saving it in a format that would be unplayable in the future.
Maintenance Guy: Uhh, what kind of output does this have? This is some ancient Super-VHS output or somethin'. I can't connect it to your float screen. Cartman: There's gotta be some way to hook it up! It's the freakin' future! Maintenance Guy: It may be the future for you, but I can't hook up anything to a float screen without at least a laser-7 output. Cartman: You've gotta be shittin' me!! Science-damnit! I am so fucking sick of the future! [starts throwing a tantrum, throwing things around] |
