Dubious notability. Only sources are primary. Might warrant a merge somewhere. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 02:19, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Gord Lacey, founder of the site, interviewed here. I actually had to justify my use of this site as a source when I was bringing Last of the Summer Wine up to FA-class and, in my research, found a couple tid-bits that made me believe they are notable. Since 2007, They have been affiliated with TV Guide. They were also a driving force in the campaign to bring Family Guy on DVD during its first run, the eventual sales of which convinced Cartoon Network to pick up the show and eventually Fox to bring it back from the dead. Other mentions of the site as an authority include The Scranton Times Tribune, The Mantis Eye Experiment, a press release from Warner Bros. mentioning the site as a driving force for releasing Perfect Strangers on DVD, and another Warner Bros. press release mentioning the site as a a factor in releasing Third Watch on DVD.
