[Norah]

Chris is already the annoying one.

Just you wait.

Huh. Fat fingers missed the thread for this, and on one slaughtered me for it?

This place is really going downhill.

Paywalled, so I guess I'll never know the answer

These are strange shows to lump together, and not just because of the quality.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[Norah]

Yeah the West Wing is the odd man out here. People routinely lump the other three together.

Not technically paywalled because you can read it with a free account

Not saying you should do that just advocating for the proper use of the term "paywall"

[Ello Sailor]

I've never seen West Wing. Is it really that good?

[Jorge]

Nah

[Jorge]

I don’t believe that’s true, at least here in America. Visitors are limited to a certain number of free articles, but they don’t have to register an account
