I'm not sure if Denver played Cleveland in the finals, it would be the same phenomena as when they both came into the league.

If you study both 'Gilligan' and 'Brady,' you will see they are based on a similar philosophy: that it's possible for different kinds of people to learn to live together, either in a family or stuck on an island with no escape.

I own all the characters I created, thanks to the Writers Guild, so nobody can do anything without me. The way it works is: If the copyright owners instigate a project, like the movie, then I get a fee as creator. If I instigate a project, like the musical, I pay a percentage to the copyright owners.

Legally, this is referred to as an increase. There's no two ways about it on the ballot. However, if you look at the preamble, it says this proposal would reauthorize the levy. That tells taxpayers this is something they have paid before.
