If you're among the first people reading this post, and don't know how to play, hang on and I'm sure someone will explain it in the comments soon enough.
Go for it!

Juliet: SHAWN!
Shawn: Jules, how often does someone set you up with “Let me be Frank”?

from HE 3.12:
Alex: I have my smart moments. I’m not as dumb as I am.
Since I have posted new links to the game on the R/C Indexes, I am going to explain the rules for any newcomers:
The shows on all the major networks, plus cable (split into basic and premium) and various All-Stars by decade, have been listed. Choose your favorites to stay on the list, and your unfavorites to vote off the list. Vote in +3, +2, +1, -1, -2 and -3 unless directed otherwise. Once you vote, wait at least 24 hours before voting again. A show that reaches 0 points is eliminated, a show that reaches 100 is set aside for the Victors’ Village. Once there are no shows left outside the Village, the Winners’ Circle will begin to decide the Ultimate Winner.
And now my votes, to serve as another example:
