Don't you DAAAAAAAAAARE miss this episode.

EEHG 160: Titulus Deest Memento Quaeso Titulum Creare Antequam Conveniant

2071 years ago today, January 7th, the Senate of Rome decreed that Caesar would be declared a public enemy unless he disbanded his army. In 'celebration' we each bring two TV entities (show, characters, networks, etc) to the floor that have not quite crossed the Rubicon. Explain why they are on the precipice and the terms they would have to meet to avoid bring declared enemies of the TV state by the EHG senate.

1:51.9	It is a singular amazing performance from television.
