Copy/paste ten descriptions of shows from
Better Than It Sounds, have people guess them, hilarity will ensue. Also, after someone's guessed it, the answer will be in pink font next to their name...all you have to do is highlight it if you want to know, but if not, you can try to guessed yourself without spoilers! :)
