I asked the TV question on my Facebook, and a couple of my friends guess "yellow people", but alas that's still wrong.
This is the order these shows joined the list (I think according to research): Doctor Who, Sesame Street, SNL, Pokemon, South Park, Spongebob, Simpsons.

is the thing in common that they all had full-length films released, based on their series?

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965)
The Muppet Movie (1979)
The Blues Brothers (1980)
Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back (1998)
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999)
The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (2004)
The Simpsons Movie (2007)
If you consider The Muppets to be part of Sesame Street, then yes, that list is in the correct order. Otherwise, Sesame Street has had only two movies: Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird, which came out in 1985, and Elmo in Grouchland.

Indeed, this is 504. The order I used is off. Wikipedia has listed Coneheads before Blues Brothers, although it came 13 years after. I do not count the muppets because The Muppets Show is not still running. Unfortunately.
Six more, and I should see you Sunday. School's off this week!
507. Complete the analogy: Olympic Parade of nations : The home country :: Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade : ?
508. Take the name of a video game series with two installments. Move the third letter down one position in the alphabet, and you will get the name of another video game series with two installments. What are the two series?
509. The Seward Peninsula can be found on what landmass?
?510. What piece of literature begins with an event that has the probability of 1/633825300114114700748351602688, or 1/2^99?
511. What is the only number whose numbers, when spelled out, are in alphabetical order?
512. War, peace, old age, and jollity can be brought by what objects?

- Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age
- Uranus, the Magician
- Neptune, the Mystic

508. Woops. Salami already answered that one. Guess I'll take a stab at 510:
510. I think it's The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. The probability refers to the chance of flipping a coin and getting heads 99 times in a row.

507 is Santa.
508 is Portal/Postal. Thanks daBomb for the question.
509 is Alaska.
510 is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I read the script to make sure the number was exactly 99, as opposed to the more round 100.
511 is 40.
512 is planets, as told by Gustav Holst.
Good job guys. See yall Sunday. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
