Yeah, that thing with the ending got me too, especially since that match was so close. I thought the questions were generally a bit too easy for anything calling itself the "World Series" of pop culture, but I like the team aspect and it was a fun show overall.
It was nice enough, but it kind of bums me out that it has to so flagrantly be the "World Series of Quite Recent Pop Culture". Nothing before the 80s, I don't think. And with the contestants they have, they need it to be that--when they asked about the Paul McCartney/Stevie Wonder duet about racial harmony, the contestants had no idea at all.
I know that everybody's targeting younger demos these days, and questions about Fats Domino aren't going to accomplish that...but I don't have to be thrilled about it.
Thread ahead: While I'm catching up on TV news, did anybody see the first "lost episode" of Chappelle's Show? Next thread: Office webisodes now available Previous thread: Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome, Wire, Curb? and more from HBO presentation
Just read that he died and I'm really saddened. Always loved the Gary Shandling show, including him driving around the set in his cart and Jeffrey Tambor being "hey now!" guy.
