Is anybody else watching this show on VH1? It's a good idea, but the questions are far too easy. Last night a guy couldn't name the "Classic Clash double album featuring 'Train in Vain' and 'Rudie Can't Fail'" If it is going to be the "World Series" then they need to have some "Beat the Geeks"-hard questions. I can't wait for auditions for the next one. I've already got my team planned.

Yeah, I plan on being a one man wrecking crew if they do it next year. Who needs a team with questions that easy?

I'm ashamed to admit that i don't know the answer to that question, but I have been enjoying the show. I'm quite good at home, but i'm afraid i would totally blank on stage

Do you know yelling the answer at the TV doesn't help them?

Those questions are wicked easy maybe we should form a team.

I don't even like the Clash much and I knew it. My wife did ask me why I knew that right after I answered. My answer was, "The Clash only had one classic double album." So it has to be London Calling.

So i would have answered correctly. (I didn't know it was a double album)

A local geeky radio guy had a team and didn't make the show. He was really disappointed because he said they picked the teams based more on the interviews and their gimmicks rather than how good they were. So if y'all form a team come up with a good name and some pre-planned funny answers to interview questions.

And a short girl who will do some high kicks.,.

I recommend that unfunny comic from Last Comic Standing.

I agree! Let's form a team!

I was slightly dissappointed when I watched it, as I was also hoping for "Beat the Geeks" type questions.

I even yelled out "London Calling YOU DUMBASS" and it did not help.....

Oh, one guy was stammering and stuttering over a fill in the blank question. And they gave you the movie and the character. "This Town needs an_____!"

You want to talk about yelling at the TV.

I have not yelled that much since the Nick Bockwinkle / Mr. Saito match.

It's not like the questions are hard like "What long running tv series was based off a Martin Scorsese film?" It's more like "This waitress tv character's catch phrase was "Kiss my blank?"

I am surprised they do not get easier... "On the TV show Cheers, what is the name of the Bar?"

EDIT: From the experience I had watching the show, I can almost guarantee someone would get it wrong.

I almost laughed my ass off over the Julia Roberts portion of questions they had. My brother and I looked at each other and were like, they actually made a category over her?

On another note, I'd love to be on a team for this competition.
