Is it kosher to ask what time range counts as "primetime?"

That was added to the name of the awards show just to stand in contrast to the "Daytime Emmys"

OK, so anything at night essentially counts? I just didn't know if primetime ended before "late night" or something.

I'm familiar enough with the Emmys to probably clarify -- so yeah, basically anything that doesn't appear in the daytime should be fine. Daytime meaning morning through the afternoon. There are daytime talk shows of course -- you're gonna want to steer clear of any of those.

I vote for a dog breed picture question every week. I have two obscure answers I only know because of connections to friends. I'm proud of these answers, but you fuckers will probably make them 10 pointers.

I like my answer to that one for same reason. Like often I feel like I knew an answer for all of them but it’s about distribution.

I think I have a quibble with #3 but I guess if it's obvious which of the 10 names I listed is the one you aren't including then maybe I don't. Unless I do!

The answers I'm proud of aren't dog related. I'm assuming most of you assholes know most of the dogs. There is one I can't figure out, and it's bugging me.
