    I just watched this. My greatest surprise came during this segment,
    where I learned that Goode Behavior was tied for 149th with Buffy the >>>>> Vampire Slayer. Buffy was only four years old then,

    Um, that's not right - "Goode Behavior" was 1996; "Buffy" premiered in
    the Spring of '97. So this would have been "Buffy's" first season.

    Really? For some reason I thought Buffy premiered a few years earlier.
    That does explain the low ratings, tho.


    Against all odds, Siri says that Ian is right. Buffy premiered, March 10,
    1997. But just to keep his record intact, March 10 is not spring. It’s
    winter still.

    This is what Wikipedia says for spring:

    Northern temperate zone
    Astronomical season 20 March – 21 June
    Meteorological season 1 March – 31 May
    Solar (Celtic) season 1 February – 30 April
