Rules for the Road

IMPORTANT!! If you do NOT adhere to the following rules, your posting may be deleted and thus rendered ineligible for your "Final 10." Consequently, please, please keep all of these things in mind before you hit that publish button!

-----------------------------------------

Place sitcom titles in italics or all caps (e.g., Seinfeld, SEINFELD).

Place episode titles in quotes (e.g., "The Contest").

Explain your answer in detail, citing for example WHY you think food is such a prominent part of Seinfeld's mise-en-scene. What if anything does this suggest?

Limit responses to about 200-250 words (this post is approx. 150). If you exceed that count, tighten your writing, i.e., review what you’ve already written and see what can be omitted, combined, and/or made more concise.

Include an attention-grabbing title.

Respond tactfully. By all means, make your case, but be thoughtful when you do it.
