I dunno, what do you think?

I don't think I want to see a show that takes place inside this guy:

Nah. Part of my theory behind the scoring of the games I run (and I do have one, believe it or not) is to give as many different ways of scoring points to as many different play styles as possible. It's supposed to be exciting, not sportsmanlike.

Does #7 refer to the average length of episodes in a series or to an individual episode?

It must be over 90 minutes long consistently.

That is officially the last clarification I am making. :lol:

I'm serious. :|

No shit. I thought I had some great ones, but after reading the past page of posts it looks like they will probably be ruined now.

With commercials or without? ;)

I submitted early too, so no changing my answers either.

PM sent. I think a few of the reverse questions are really going to hurt me.

I took it to mean a setting like our everyday world where only the characters have special powers, no alians or fanasty settings.

A few guesses on my part. PM sent, thanks Tracer!

OK ... I'm in.

I know it wasn't completely your idea, but this isn't a sheep game if you have that rule. If anything, there should be a bonus for "incorrect" most popular sheep answers since that's the whole point of the game.

I'll be sending in answers after work today. Hopefully I can remmeber the good answers I have come up with already.

Tracer Bullet 10-09-09 12:58 PM

Re: TV Sheep Round 4: We've Been Renewed!
 
Got about 20 submissions so far. I'll probably let this run at least over the weekend and then close it to new entries and start on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

I'm in. Working on my answers now, even though TV series aren't a strong point of mine considering how little of it I watch.

Oh yeah?

I think so too. I don't get the point of any of these insane scoring systems. The only one I like is the Unique Answer Bonus, because that rewards a good player. All the other ones are too "let's make this FUCKING EXCITING, BITCHES!"

I see... :|

I have to admit, I'm confused by the wording of #18 and #19, but I'm in.

TB - you'll have to look at my answers for those two, since I'm unsure what you mean and I gave you different answers for both based on two possible interpretations. I'll trust your judgement.

Watch it mister. I can "lose" your answers and misremember them as 20 entries for Everybody Loves Raymond.

Yes! 18 answers where I have at least one match!

It made more sense in my head. I was thinking something like Lord of the Rings wouldn't really apply because you have the talking trees and whatnot. But Twilight would.

Re: TV Sheep Round 4: We've Been Renewed!
 
But other than the talking trees and whatnot, LOTR is a naturalistic setting.
