My students had their first exam today, and I decided to actually give them the extra credit question I've been pondering.  That's right, they had the chance to earn 1/2 point of extra credit by answering "What is your instructor's favorite day of the week and why?"  I just finished grading their tests, and they were all able to correctly answer "Thursday" and add "because her favorite TV show comes on that night."  Now, they don't actually know what my favorite show is, but I've given them a huge hint (sort of) of "It's not Grey's Anatomy."

Much to my delight, one student actually took a guess and guessed correctly.  Her answer was "Thursday - favorite TV show like Supernatural."  I very seriously considered giving her a full extra credit point for that.  Alas, I did not.  When I give them back their tests on Thursday, I'll let them know what the answer is.  

Of course, what good will that do for them to start watching "Playthings"?  It's not really an episode that you can just start them on.  If I had to point them to a good season two episode that wouldn't confuse them, it would be "The Usual Suspects."

Well, I should take comfort in the fact that I've converted two people into fanatics.  I say fanatics because they were both willing to spend large amounts of money in order to watch/catch up after a day of watching my DVDs.  

That puts me at 2 for 2, which is nice.  I haven't found any casual viewers yet.  When you like the show, you love the show.
