^ Some of those MotW were quite effective, probably because they were short (75 to 90 minutes–doesn’t require a lot of padding). I started [a thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tvms-the-best-the-worst-your-favorite-s/826953/63) end of 2018 discussing TVMs and it was fun remembering the good ones and more fun ragging on the bad ones.
