Correct!

@Pretzelmaster: It's refreshing to see a new player, and one who looks through the back pages, as the purpose of the trivia threads is to accrue large numbers of page views.
These are the rules which apply specifically to TV Trivia, but not New Sports Trivia nor Trivia-O-Rama:
* applies to all three threads, for my questions.
The questions that I post are a competition. Each player scores 2 points for a Correct! answer. I score one point for each question which stumps everyone for at least two weeks, provided that I get around to claiming my stump point. ("Stump"). I score 1 point for each time a player answers incorrectly, ("Nope"). I score one point for each time a 2nd player provides a correct answer that someone else got first, ("Too Slow").
Some players care about points, others do not.
*New questions might be posted at any time of the day or night. When a batch of new questions is posted, expect that some will be easier to answer than others; this rewards the 'early bird', and increases page views. I don't necessarily acknowledge Correct! answers immediately when the reply is made before the batch has been fully posted. Updating the question post after a Correct! answer is a high priority for me. The confirmation reply after a Correct! answer is not. I generally reply to incorrect answers before correct ones.
*To my knowledge, every question which has already been answered correctly by someone has had the question post updated to show this. Many older questions, such as the batch you answered, are still live, until I update the question post with Stump, and the correct answer would be posted later in the thread.
You can't answer the same question a second time, after receiving a Nope reply.
*You must quote the original question post when answering, as opposed to quoting a reply. Finding the question post is part of the game.
*Answer only one question per quoted reply.
*When a photo or photo of an actor/ actress in a specific role is posted, 'What's his/ her name?' refers to the name of the character role. If the actor/ actress is wearing civilian clothing, 'What's his/ her name?' requests the performer's name. When there is some doubt, the question will be 'Name the actor/ actress'.
When I post a question where multiple correct answers are requested, providing a partial answer only helps your opponents. If your partial answer is correct, it will be acknowledged, but will score no points. Providing both a correct and incorrect answer in the same reply constitutes a Nope response from me. This does not apply if the question includes "Name as many as you can".
*If you provide an answer which is not correct enough for a Correct!, but not wrong enough for a Nope, you get a Regis, and you may answer again, but another player might steal the Correct! from you before you see it.
*If you make the same protocol error a second time, after an explanation, you receive one and a half lines of Robert De Niro.
*If you prove that one of my answers is wrong, you get a Special Prize, but no points. Special Prizes do not apply to omissions, (ie: I said there were five, but actually there are seven).
Any questions posed by unassuming or others in the three active Trivia threads are not for points, you can answer as many times as you like, and you can provide part of a correct answer, when there are multiple corrects requested.

Correct!
The Dolbear's Law equation in its simplest form is to count the number of times a cricket chirps in fifteen seconds, and add 40 to obtain the Fahrenheit temperature, (within one degree).
