I'm sorry if I seemed a bit rude there. Speed Racer has been one of my favorite things since childhood. Still is one of my favorites. Ex: This weekend I spent 70 bucks on a pair of 1:18 scale die cast models of the Mach 5 and the Shooting Star (Racer X's car) which is a pretty good deal by the way. Everyone I know at least has some idea what it's about. I thought it was one those things, like watching Star Wars, where only certain types of people hadn't seen it.

Is there any point to this other than being a gigantic Red Herring? I already pointed out that there was precisely zero usefull information in those passages, he didn't need to read them.
And second, he didn't specify that it had to be global.
Once again, you demonstrate that you are the master of nitpicking.
And thirdly, I'm trying to find numbers, but the original airing was in the 60's. Even with the resurgence in the 90's I still haven't found anything yet.
So? You can find rating for TOS easily, and that was decades ago.

Thing is, everyone you know likely has similar tastes to you; you're not going to hang out with someone who doesn't like what you do. Hence the uselessness of these anecdotal claims.

Good luck getting a concesion! I've lost count of the amount of times Blackstar has avoided admitting defeat by claiming things like "you just don't understand what I mean", ignoring rebutals or simply ceasing to reply. In fact, I've yet to see Blackstar admit defeat on any subject.

Well, you see there's this little site called "Google" that allows you to search the internet for anything you want.

I guess your SOL, I suspect you need more practice working your cogitator.

It ain't my job to back up your arguments for you.
