Episode Conclusion

And that’s it for Season Seven folks. What did you think? A big thank you to folks who became patrons in the last year and those people that bought T-shirts for themselves or their loved ones. They do help keep this show running.

For Season Eight, expect something different. Relax, it’s not Earth-shattering. I’m going to change how the topics are managed in each episode. Instead of one topic, each episode will have three. People have said that the Nerdy round can get a little too hard. It’s also hard to pull together 30 questions on these topics. The minis have been relatively easy to put together, so I’m going to bundle those up. Each episode will have a common theme, much like when Jeopardy bundles two or three categories together. You’re still getting the same amount of trivia every week. Just packaged a little differently.

Also, the occasional mini episode isn’t going away, so fear not.

So, hopefully, you find these still entertaining and engaging. And, hopefully, I get a breather so I can work on other projects in 2026. It’s a win-win, right?

Thanks for working with me, gang. I know we’ll still have fun. Next week, will be the first of these new episodes. Here’s a hint:

What do shows like The Prisoner, The Ben Stiller Show, and Clerks: The Animated Series have in common?

Note: The episode won’t be about those shows but ones like them.
