October 5[edit]
Where to find old Canadian TV ratings data? (specifically 1987-1992)[edit]
I'm in a so far eighteen-month long process of improving the coverage of the Degrassi teen drama franchise, specifically to do with the 80s/90s versions of the franchise, which aired on CBC. I'm specifically looking for any ratings data between 1987 and 1992 to cite the same way American TV series articles cite Nielsen ratings. Various newspapers of the time claim the show averaged over a million followers weekly, and I'm looking for exact figures to add for each episode to support this instead of going off estimates.

Indentify card (probably CCG) game in NYT story[edit]
Can anyone identify which card game the men are shown playing in this New York Times story? My first thought, as someone who hasn't played any, was that it was Magic the Gathering, but the photo shows a range of round tokens as well as the usual CCG type cards, which Magic doesn't seem to use (as far as I can tell). 87.115.15.189 (talk) 12:44, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Can you find an image that isn't stuck behind a paywall? PianoDan (talk) 17:35, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hey, I have that game (but I don't like it much). It's not a CCG, it's Splendor. --174.95.81.219 (talk) 17:36, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- Great, thanks for your help. @PianoDan, hmm, it's not behind a paywall here (although if I got to lots of NYT articles, they will start nagging me to subscribe). 87.115.15.189 (talk) 18:04, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
