I personally added the part about Jon Wurster, but I don't know how to do citations or whatever.  I guess this will just be a working progress.

I contributed the second paragraph.  You Wikidummies better leave it intact!

And of course someone has already deleted it. Wikidickhead.

Go go FOTs!

I'm a wikidummy myself, and a Best Show noob by standards appropriate for wiki-documenting, so I'll just watch and admire (and probably learn more about the show in the process).  :)

It is pretty insane that they removed the Best Show page.  It seems like a lot of regional and local TV and radio shows have pages on wikipedia.

Take a look at the greatest wikipedia page of all time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Chi%27s

huh. my friend worked at a chi-chi's a few years ago. i guess that's why he lost his job....

Do you think there would be a privacy issues if repeat callers such as Petey for example, were mentioned?

there is no "they" really. Just add it back and address the complaints. Cite to sources like the times that discuss the show. I'd do it myself but I'm uncomputered at the moment.

I'm afraid to wiki but someone's got Neal Pollack's name spelled wrong.

Maybe someone could add The Best Show Vault to the external links?

Tip of the day

Did you know there's a wikiquote page on Jon Wurster?

Please refer to this proclamation by Sarah: http://www.friendsoftom.com/forum/index.php/topic,2092.msg30733.html#msg30733

Oh man! I was actually wondering what the plural was when I posted that. Logically I thought it should be FOT but I decided to go with FOTs for some reason.

ANYWAY, I am so proud of the FOT.
