16. This is an interesting question, because if you focus on Star Trek as a franchise, Geordi might be right..but, as a TV series, I think the original just lasted 2 seasons. Of course, there have been reincarnations since the original series, which add to the TV legacy, but is WC considering them as one entity, or as separate programs? As a single, uninterrupted program, there may be other contenders - Stargate? X-files?

14. Depending on the day, but somewhere around the low 30's. So I'll go with your 35.
15. Too shiny. Upskirt. I've heard they even make videos.
16. Depends on what you mean by "successful". But with a hugely successful series (series spinoffs), numerous movies, commercials and in our lexicon, I'd have to go with Star Trek.

Well, the Browns owner was Art Modell. But he didn't leave in the dead of night. He announced he was moving the Browns to Baltimore, was appropriate hanged in effigy throughout Cleveland through their last season, and just packed up and left. Anywhooo! That's likely what we are looking for.

15..Because their elders were afraid schoolboys would use the shoetops as mirrors to see their panties.
16..For longevity, Dr. Who. For fan dedication, Star Trek. For originality and consistent quality, The Twilight Zone. Financially, if that's what you mean, I've no idea.

22..Gotta be Harvard
25..Lake Superior

I have it on good authority that Art arrived in Baltimore at 2:14 am. Irsay's move was back in '84.

Don't know about that. You may be right. Just ahead of the entire population of Cleveland each brandishing torches and pitchforks.
