Well, if you really want the easiest random fiver function, I've hacked together a little php that'll do that. It'll pick a fiver randomly from a series that has an "All Seasons" link on the front page, so no movies or videogames yet, but that'll come sooner or later.

So how do you add that as a favorite without linking it to a specific fiver?

Right click Asky's link above and click either "Bookmark the link" (Firefox/Mozilla) or "Add to Favorites" (IE). Then give it a suitable name. Now it will always be different.

Uh, yeah. I save the link as a favorite, but each time I choose the favorite, it spits out the same fiver. I know that there is a infinitesimally small chance that a random sort will spit out the same fiver again, but it's about as big as Harry Kim's chances of getting promoted.
