2016 highlight of the year
Knowing that long-time The Simpsons showrunner Al Jean actually saw one of my articles about the series, and that it directly led to the unearthing of pages from a decades-old, unproduced episode script.
prediction for 2017
Everyone's bold optimism about 2017 being better than 2016 will definitely wither away by March.
