this is Rails 2.x style finders --- where you call "find" and give it a list of conditions. While this will work, it's pretty old school at this point. What you want to use are "scopes". 

```ruby
shows = Show.where(:day_of_week => day)
```

The cool thing about scopes is you can chain them:

```ruby
shows = Show.where(:day_of_week => day).where(:network => "AMC")
```

By default, this will return all results, but you can add a ".first" to it to return the first result.
