I also hate when they do Before and After or any allegedly 'funny' categories - they're excruciating. Rule of thumb for me is if Alex says 'You're gonna love this category!', I will most certainly not love it.

So NoTORIous. I actually really liked that show as well.

But does he do EVERYTHING?

I think that was an episode of Mythbusters.

I could totally picture him but all that would come to mind was 'Howard Dean' even though I know that they're basically the complete opposite of each other.

My boyfriend keeps telling me that Joel McHale is going to replace Alex when he retires. I have no idea if this is a real rumor or if he just made it up (which he has a habit of doing).

Trebek condescension alert - telling Frederique she's the only woman who goes on vacation with only 1 pair of shoes. Oh, Alex, you know us ladies so well!

Um, Jackson pretty much single handedly created a great depression by destroying the Bank of the US. So not sure how that was a good economic policy.

Alex was SOOOO condescending on the football category. I mean seriously, would he have done that if 3 dudes ran a ballet category or whatever is appropriately 'girly'? I don't think so.

BF and I both got this right away, so then we started trying to guess who would get it right and wrong on the show. It looked to me like the 'TBAA' girl started writing right away so I thought she totally had this. Then they revealed her answer and I about fell on the floor. I guess she really latched on to the

Seriously, if you have to be more specific on 'mermaid', what other choice is there but 'little' especially when 'fairy tale' was in the clue? He also didn't seem to make a face like 'Oh of course!' when Alex told him the answer, so it seems possible that he's never heard of The Little Mermaid?

PBS did an 8 hour miniseries on evolution like 10ish years ago. I think they devoted a whole 2 hour episode to the people who don't believe in evolution and that was honestly the first time I think I realized that so many people like that existed. Just sad that if anything there's probably more of them today than 10

But then they also didn't know that Mack Brown was the coach of Texas? I knew that and I'm from Massa-frickin-chusetts (and a woman).

However, he did get the shit beaten out of him more than anyone else on TV that I can remember.

I would assume they put that in there because it's on the History Channel, so one might think it was a documentary, or actual, like, history. Of course no one should really go the History Channel looking for that kind of programming anymore.

I think Sandra Oh's character got an abortion on Grey's Anatomy and was fine with it. Although not really positive bcs I stopped watching pretty soon after that (not because of the abortion, because it really started sucking). Also Denis Leary's ex-wife got an abortion at the end of the 1st Season of Rescue Me and I

It seems like no one uses a password to get into their VMs on TV/movies - anyone can just pop in and listen that VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE and then go ahead and delete it before the main character has a chance to hear it (most glaring example - the Good Wife season 1 finale - you're telling me Alicia Florrick, an

When there's a real NBA team called the Pelicans, not sure how worked up I can get about fictional team names being ridiculous.

It drove me nuts that the FBI guy didn't recognize Avi at the diner. Doesn't he have his photo hanging up on his wall as part of Ray's crew? It seems like he has pretty good (obsessive) attention to detail and he doesn't even recognize someone that he's actively trying to bring down when he's sitting right next to him?

So, where's Cesare's wife? Did she stay in France? I was looking forward to Lucrezia meeting her…
