So, I'm now seven questions away from a full game. Right now, I have 22 categories (though one is still one question short), so when I fill in two more, I'll have channels 2-13 for two rounds.

I've decided that the rounds are going to progress like this.

Round 1: Normal
Snack Break: Dump candy on players.
Round 2: Double points. One "Off the Air" channel will be hidden among the categories (probably under "Reruns"). Picking it will eliminate the lowest-scoring player.
Off the Air: At the end of round 2, the lowest player gets bumped.
Think Real Fast: The expanded version of "Bob Denver, John Denver, or City of Denver." 10 pts per question.
Off the Air: The two players with the lowest scores get bumped.
Beat the Bishop: I put on a bishop's hat and do a lap around the hotel while the remaining contestants answer the TGIF question with as many shows as they can write. 15 pts per answer.
Finale: Winner is the player with the highest score.

I've decided I'm going to use index cards with numbers on one side and channel names on the other. I'll turn them over when the category is chosen, and remove them when the channel is exhausted.

Tonight, I finish recording skits, which leaves me free to make sure everything's on my iPod tomorrow morning.

Below the cut are the new categories: Tales of the Extraordinary, The 900 Club, The Japan Channel, Brady Economics, and The Slash Channel.

Tales of the Extraordinary! (Before the television was radio. We've found some recordings of the radio serials that some of your favorite TV series were based on. Identify these shows from the era od Pulp Adventure!) (To be recorded)

Next week, we return to this exotic isle of suave Europeans and simple-minded, diminuitive natives as another plane lands with the brightest stars of the silver screen! Will their desires be fulfilled in this tropical location? Find out on . . .
Join us next time for more adventures with FLAG as our hero--the man with a new face--sets out to rescue the plucky mechanic Bonnie Bristow from the sinister sky pirates, with the help of his faithful companion, the automotive automaton, KITT when we bring you another installment of . . .
Next week, are heroes must travel incognito to expose another bevy of bootleggers corrupting our nation's fair youth! Will Ioki succumb to the Orientals' weakness for opium? Will Hanson find the man who killed his sweetheart? How will Booker fare as a private dick? Find out on the next . . .

The 900 Club (Even TV characters get lonely sometimes. I'll play you a 1-900 sex talk fantasy, you tell me what who's paying $2.99 for the first minute and $0.99 each additional minute.) (To be recorded)

Business in the front, party in the back? How about a party down south, you highland hunk. I've got a lemon, two electrodes, an oscillating motor and ten inches of latex molding. What can you rig up with that?
Oooh, I love a man with an accent. It's so cultured and refined. My husband is so crude, he can't give me what I need: the well-manicured touch of an Englishman who keeps a diary.
You don't have to be someone else with me. I'd love to tear the covers off a blonde bookstore owner, especially a Lebanese one with a brand new toaster.

The Japan Channel

685 Japanese viewers were sent to the hopsital for seizures after viewing the electric antics of which Pokemon?
How many of the Voltron Lions are painted with secondary pigments?
Antonio, Carlos, and Jobim are the three old men who permeate what jazz space western anime adventure melange thingie series?

Brady Economics

Frustrated by the stifling amount of interference that the rest of the family exerts on the running of his model train set, Peter leaves to live in a treehouse with other like-minded preteens, a move which ultimately leads to the collapse of the Brady household. What American philosopher most likely penned this episode?
Bobby and Cindy are playing store using Alice's chocolate-chip cookies as currency. What will happen to the value of each individual cookie when Alice pulls another batch out of the oven
When Jan is jealous of her older sister's higher allowance, Marcia asks her to convince their parents to give Marcia a higher allowance, explaining with more money, she can buy better clothes for Jan to borrow. What fiscal policy is Marcia advocating?

The Slash Channel (As everyone knows, you can't enjoy TV unless you're imagining the characters boning each other every second they're not on screen. I'll read you excerpts from some slash fanfiction, you tell me what series their based on.)

Red, the color of fire, the color of heat, the color of passion, the color of the uniform folded neatly beside Vecchio's hastily tossed suit. Red, the color of the maple leaf, the only thing that covered Fraser's throbbing Canadian member.
He looked into his eyes. They were green, so deep and pure no trace of black oil. "The nanobots, they've healed me." Krycek reached out his prosthetic arm and pulled Skinner into a deep embrace.
Matthew had never seen a Newcomer naked. The Potniki didn't stop at the neck, they continued down Sam's back, all the way to his pert butt. "They're dim from all the sour milk, but they still feel good when you touch them," he said.
