2021: I just figured out there were only 16 episodes of Hong Kong Phooey

And it's always there, in your essay, because you know how this will be written: "Unlike as mentioned in OTHER essays, in fact that didn't happen" (meanwhile, pictures and writing everywhere that it happened). "The OTHER essay's mistake about this date is this" (gives wrong date)
