    Welcome to another weird and wacky version of Necro's Sheep Files :D

    This time the topic is: TV Shows

    Now I know what you're thinking, jiminy jillickers Necro - haven't you already done this topic?

    Why yes, yes I have :D But this time there is going to be a TWIST

    Each set of three letters in this game will be known as an EMU - with the exception of Y and Z which will be a duo (I know, stupid alphabet not working out right?)

    What that means is that if you score the top answer in all three of any of the sets - you will actually score a big fat ZERO.

    Simple example:

    A
    B
    C

    are a grouping. If you sheep in all three your total score will be Zero.

    So to sheep? Or not to sheep? That is the question.

    The format for newcomers...

    I will present to you a list of the letters of the alphabet and all you have to do is PM me back your list, unnumbered, and unlettered. DO NOT post your list on thread

    The topic of this sheep is TV Shows - PM me a list of your answers in alphabetical order.

    Use the below as a template:


    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    H
    I

    The last two letters in the alphabet can be sheep without incurring a penalty? I'm in.

    If a tv show has The in front of it, for example The Big Show, does the T or B count

    I didn't count the word "The" in mine - I would think this is a B. . .

    Just avoid all with a "The" and you'll be grand. Challenge yourself a little. :D

    I'll be ignoring any 'The' in front of other lettered shows.

    Apart from for T, if you like. ;)

    Not quite. Instead of a three letter EMU it will be a two letter one. Again blame the creator of the alphabet for not devising one divisible by three :pac:


    If you want to resubmit with that knowledge feel free to do so ;)

    That's how I played it.

    Thanks for the clarification.
