    - it might not be in transit long enough to be able to recall it, if the town you're sending it too is that close -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 11:22 3
      - well worse case is that an inactive city gets it and I can just go back and pillage it again. -- nm - Stephen Mar 19, 11:23 2

can anyone explain why it seems as if every f*cking show on CBS does so amazingly well in the ratings? - Jovian Mar 19, 11:04 11

        related: I think the new NCIS will be the same show based in San Diego. I'll put my ten bucks on that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 19, 11:16
- they're all variants of CSI, Survivor, or Young and the Restless? -- nm - zork Mar 19, 11:07
- Old people can't get up to change the channel after Andy Rooney? -- nm - nubby Mar 19, 11:07
- perhaps the secret is acronyms? -- nm - Jovian Mar 19, 11:06
- They use their established hit shows (CSI, NCIS) to promote their other shows -- nm - con_carne Mar 19, 11:05 1

  - I saw lots of ads. But - why deny yourself just because it's going to be cancelled? - Reagen Mar 19, 11:01 3
    - I can't help it...I get seriously pissed and annoyed when I begin enjoying a show that ends prematurely. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 19, 11:07 1
      - it gets canceled regardless and then you don't get the benefit. - Reagen Mar 19, 11:11
