I'm sure they would say that.
For it to be *true*, though, they'd have to be original, and not
derivative of the work of the program producers.
For *that* in turn to be true, TMS would have to *be watching every
program they publish schedule data for*. Or at the very least, reading
the caption transcripts thereof.
Does anyone here think *that's* actually happening?
No; those blurbs are almost certainly written by interns at either the
production company or the network. Generally.
Cheers,
