Tell us what your favorite show is by quoting a line from it. Then let's see who can guess what it is.
I'll start: "Everybody's dead, Dave." 😀
Aaaand... go!

I think you're supposed to identify the program that the person before you posted a quote from. Then, and only then, do you post a quote for the next person to guess. 🙂

Hi Everyone
Jen said, the following:

Devlyn you are right to point out the intended structure, but there's actually a bit of a contradiction in the original post. In the first sentence, we're asked to tell everyone what our favourite show is by quoting a line from it. That gives the impression the quote should come with the answer. But then in the next sentence, it says "let's see who can guess what it is," which only works if the show isn't identified.
So it's a bit mixed: are we telling or are we asking others to guess? For it to be a proper guessing game, the show title should probably be left out entirely. The quote should stand alone, like the following.
"That'll do." ;D :o ::)
Best Wishes Always
