ChuckWoolery : would you like to do that, or keep them as they are?
Buckish_Dweeb : let me review the choices momentarily
ChuckWoolery : The Rookies, The Guiding Light, Dark Shadows, Charlies Angels
ChuckWoolery : not chosen are Scarecrow and Mrs. King, That 70's Show and Days of Our Lives

ChuckWoolery : I'm going to bribe you a little
Buckish_Dweeb : uh oh!
ChuckWoolery : if you don't feel sure about xratededge's answer of The Rookies
ChuckWoolery : you can take this $50,000 and stop
ChuckWoolery : that way you don't go home with nothing
ChuckWoolery : or you can risk it
ChuckWoolery : it's your decision
Buckish_Dweeb : well, I'm pretty sure it's not one of the remaining possibilities, which leaves 50/50
