[META] Can there be a weekly thread for the TV show Drunk History?

by BetterCallBobLoblaw

For those who don't know, Drunk History is a TV show on Comedy Central in which fairly famous actors reenact the drunk narrations of historical events. Here's Comedy Centrals blurb about it:

"Drunk History is a weekly, half-hour series where historical reenactments by A-list talent are presented by inebriated storytellers. Based on the award-winning and wildly popular web series, the show follows the drunken and often incoherent narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of great actors and comedians, travels from town to town across the country, presenting the rich history that every city in this land, both great and small, has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth of our nation's history. It's just that sometimes that truth involves hitting on airport bar janitors or eating cheese fries at 4 a.m."

I only recently started watching the show and I've become a huge fan from the few episode I've watched and would love to see a thread covering the history discussed in the new episodes.

The show appears to try to be as accurate as possible. However, because the narrators are drunk and only tell a abridged version of events, I think weekly threads would be great for non-historians to ask for elaborations, clarifications, or confirmations on the facts given on the show. Historians can also chime in to clarify facts they feel where misrepresented during the show.

The next season begins on Tuesday June 24th at 10pm

I feel the sanctioned promotion of any television show would detract from the quality of this sub. Besides, one is already perfectly free to craft a question based on what they saw on the show and ask it here.

The English language does not contain sufficient vocabulary for me to vocalize my antipathy towards this idea.

Maybe on r/History, not on AskHistorians
