Where I can ask about "Where (on which site) I can watch specific TV-Show?"

No. Its clearly off topic. Even if there are computers on the show. As someone with non trivial reputation, you should know better than to ask it here. I think this is clearly not the Ewoks we are lo …

Is this harddisk question on-topic in SU?

I think the core of the question is "can I keep using this drive?", and the rest of the question is really background information. While it could use some polish, or even be replaced by a canonical qu …

Why was my question closed (351486)?
