How to read this: each number is how many reviews raised that topic in their own words — not a percentage or a score. Bars compare topics within a box only, so the longest bar is whatever came up most here, marked Top. The dots above show how much evidence we have, not how good the show is.

The howler
Please make an episode called THE HOWLER and I have some ideas The howler is like a gargoyle mixed with a wolf with massive 2 foot long fangs with poison and the character is at school but hears banging and screaming so he goes over there and sees the beast and try’s to run away but barely makes it safely into a classroom but later on encounters the beast more and more and finds out that the town is empty except for the character. I will leave the rest for others or Scott Donnelly to figure out.
Please do this story · Aug 2026
