So basically it is the old "if you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have" deal. The answer, BTW, is four, because no matter what you call something, it is what it is.

Fundamentally, TWD bought all the "episodes" of South Park so now Paramount is making "not episodes" calling these "specials" or "movies" or whatever.

I guarantee you that the white shoe law firm that represented AT&T made thousands of dollars per hour looking at the contract. I also guarantee you that some small town court house hack would have done a better job.
