    WBC’s Fries with That episode feels like déjà vu, so it should be squarely in the “documentary” category, not “reality.” When will these networks ever learn to get their facts straight? I’m so angry.

    These are exquisite, as usual. A favorite is the Golf Network: “How a really loud check pattern can improve your distance and accuracy.” I think there’s something to that!
