Why did they include a brand name for "recliners" but not for the others? I can remember those old John Cameron Swayze ads for Timex watches.

I'd JTQ also. My guess was either "sour" or "bitter" but couldn't decide between the two.

I'd have done the same thing - ATA first and then JTQ because of the results.

I couldn't remember this story, either.

Alas, we're not paying enough attention to the Bob Juch News Network.

Conan had one of these cars made up like a mouse during his last week of shows. The point was that he was wasting NBC's money.

I would not hesitate to play the second-choice spike on this one. What I know about S&TC can be tallied on one hand. But among that knowledge is that Carrie was associated with somebody known as "Big". If this MAWG, who doesn't give a rip about the series, knows that, then the axiom about the strong second ATA choice comes into play here, no questions asked.
