Come on, it would be incredibly cruel... to tempt anyone to watch more than 12 hours of that.
I still advocate for televised political debate escape rooms.
Yes, yes budget policies are important, but I wanna see who tries to rip props off a wall when they can't complete a pattern sequence, or cries when a key doesn't fit in a lock.
Unlimited time. Don't let them out until it's done.

The BBC should not pay any money to Donald Trump, the former BBC director general Tony Hall has said.
The US president has said he plans to sue the BBC for up to $5bn (£3.8bn) despite receiving the apology he demanded over a misleading Panorama edit of his 6 January speech. Continue reading...

it’s so egregious because it’s so blatant that the conservatives voted against their own self-proclaimed “judicial principles” so that their guy could get into office.
i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.

That take is, indeed, quite wild.
Yeah, PV/LS banter/bickering was hilarious, but no one was really seeking just 10ish minutes of scenes with legit lightening-in-a-bottle sexual tension.
Also, I was glued to all 4 shows, but must be said; Remington Steele and Scarecrow & Mrs. King did it first.
