Deceptively deceptive

Earlier this month, I published the post "Under new management."  It is a surprisingly well read post.  As it stands, it is still the third most viewed post this month.

David Titcher, who came up with ongoing action and adventure series “The Librarians,” is also credited with creating “Houdini and Doyle” for Sony.
