The 90s are back or whatever! At least they are in round one as Bobby, Bailey, and Jen attempt to identify classic jams from the 90s from one-second clips of their instrumental interludes. Sound difficult? It is! Things take a turn in round two as we tell our players how to get to Sesame Street, quizzing them on properties that have been parodied in the show’s “Monsterpiece Theater” segment. And of course, anything can happen (and we can confirm that anything DOES happen) in the lightning round. With this episode, the lineup for the season eight playoffs are set, so the competition only gets hotter from here!

The Riddle
Mostly unaired, but all on DVD,
This retail worker has a high class degree.
She hears from animals all over the store,
Is it magic or madness, we're never quite sure.
Answer
Fox's short-lived series Wonderfalls was cancelled after just four episodes aired, though the entire 13 episode run was eventually released on DVD. The show centers on Jaye, who has an Ivy League philosophy degree, and works in a souvenir shop near Niagara Falls, where various animal tchotchkes start talking to her, directing her to do various things that wind up indirectly helping those around her. It could be magic; it could be that she's having mental issues - the showdidn't stick around long enough to explain.
