The World Series of Pop Culture

Cadaverous Pallor · 07-11-2007, 09:31 AM

This is the second season for the self-proclaimed World Series of Pop Culture on VH1. It's got some annoying quirks - too much interviewing, posturing, and lame logos the producers made for the teams - but the actual competition part is fun. GD and I have been playing along, often pausing the TV while we search our brains for the answers. Obviously, not for viewing by the pop-culturally-challenged (that's you, NA) but for the rest of us there's some wonderful memories in there.

Anyone else watching?

Hadn't heard of this, but it sounds interesting.

Funny this should be brought up. The boyfriend was watching it last night and called me afterward to test my knowledge on the topics. We figure we'd be a pretty awesome duo - with his movie knowledge, my music knowledge and our collective television and history knowledge combined, we could rule the planet... or at least the school.

Nothing more entertaining that moronic adults paired with obnoxiously coached child actors

I've been watching it. I'm getting quite a few of them too. It's much easier to play from the couch then play on TV though

My friend and I watch it together. It's awesome.

I've been recording the episodes but haven't had a chance to watch any yet. Have they changed the format at all from the first season? I remember really liking the concept and the trivia, but hating the format.

Fromat's the same.

Well that sucks. I'll still check it out for the trivia though I guess.
