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.

Re: TV Sheep Round 4: We've Been Renewed!
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.

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?

Edit: I am serious.

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

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.

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?

Re: TV Sheep Round 4: We've Been Renewed!
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.

But other than the talking trees and whatnot, LOTR is a naturalistic setting.
