The sideline card

Three numbers to notice

  1. A half-hour slot holds less than half an hour of show; the rest is breaks.
  2. A screen’s size is measured across the diagonal, not the width.
  3. The episodes in a season, and how many hours they add up to.

On the way home, ask: “If we only had half an hour, which show would you choose?”

Ask because you are curious, and let any answer stand. Print this page for a half-page card.
