So because I'm insane and obsessive, I've been working my way forward through the Best Show archives. And while doing so, I've been keeping a running log of what's contained in each show. I decided I'd post it and see if anyone had any corrections or comments to offer.
So far, I've worked my way halfway through 2001. Here's links to shows from 2000 and 2001.

My self-imposed rules were, I'd document calls as much as humanly possible, but I wouldn't do so for calls during "bits"--especially since so many callers would say things along the lines of 'Is this a joke?'--unless those calls themselves were bits (ie, Wurster calling up during the Mets vs Yankees show, or "George Benson's Son"s real dad calling up to berate him). Early on, most callers don't identify themselves, but I include their names when they do.
I also didn't really detail actual interviews, like the Neal Pollack interview, although I may reconsider doing that.
Anywhoozle, if anyone's got any corrections, comments, etc., they are heartily appreciated.
