Survey - in opposition to the move

 * 1) In modern usage, "o'clock" is a single word. Traditionally, it should be rendered as "o'clock" or "O'Clock", some sources use "O'clock", but I can't find a single source to support "o'Clock".  Chris cheese whine 00:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Popularity
Roughly how many people watched it? Many Wikipedia articles on television shows state their ratings. Why did it end after only two years/ I would have thought, due to having many good jokes, been popular with a young audience, and would have had no problem in getting comedians / comedy actors to appear on the show. A substantial proportion of it was topical, so new material would not have been difficult to find inspiration for. F W Nietzsche (talk) 15:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
