ok, that's a valid point. but i still don't think it should count based on the fact that that the show is set in the present day. it's like like the setting is the 60's and it is happening to him.

As to your first point, see my post above.

As to your second point, there actually was:

If a TV show is set in the present-day when it first airs, but the premise of the show is a repeating loop of one day, wouldn't that put it in the past?

The question only asked for "past," not a period piece. The guy is traveling into the past and trying to change history.

'Present day' shows aren't really set in the present day. They are set in some vague approximation of the present day. Just because a show airs on August 12, 2010 doesn't mean it is set on August 12, 2010. It's set ~2010. So, no.

Keep your hatred for him in mind when you challenge is all I ask.

It matters who might be able to defeat him though.

Shouldn't you know the answer to that if you're challenging the answer?

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!

Those are all the answers.

Daybreak- still inclined to let it slide
Miss Marple- looking like it will be wrong
Wild Wild West- I'll allow it
COPS- ?

considering your decisions in this game are nothing less than arbitrary, that's kind of funny.

My decisions are always calculated to maximally piss you off.

Wait, no, my mother. They're designed to piss off my mother.

Well, anyway.

Re: The Return of TV Sheep: Cop Shows!

Well, unless someone can make an argument for why Taye Digg's character could constantly re-experience the past without it actually being the past then all these nays are bullshit.

well considering it looks like my answer to this may be the popular one, i'm screwed and will get more than 10 points. so, if it's all in his head as it was in
Spoiler:
life on mars
was, and people have pre-emptively challenged it, then that could be the explanation that would make your pick invalid. confused?
