Clarks favorite show has been a heavy hitter at recent Emmy awards, winning 20 awards in 2 years, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2021. Can they keep up this momentum, or is relegation in their future like it was for Richmond at the end of Season 1?
What is Ted Lasso?
Jan's favorite movies just happen to be the fifth highest grossing media franchise of all time.

Most people might not know this, but this long running CBS series was actually a spinoff of JAG. Originally premiering in 2003, the procedural launched two spinoffs of their own throughout the years...I wonder if Judith watches those too.
What is NCIS?
A $281M budget for Jim's favorite trilogy helped to set up the epic fantasy adventure that we took with Frodo through middle-earth. Money well spent though, as the films are among the highest-grossing of all time at about $2.99B

What is the Bourne Series?
Mikela's favorite NFL team was founded in 1996, with their city happy to have a team again after the departure of the Colts in 1983.

The lead singer/songwriter for Jim's favorite band spent most of the 60s performing under different names/with different bandmates until settling on this final group of Detroit area musicians in 1974. The band was really working on the Night Moves through their success in the 80s.
