Well, it's going to be Scooby-Doo.

Lovella:

Correct.

Although I think they're still doing Scooby-Doo episodes now.

Neighborhood, which is a very,

Steve:

very old TV series a long

Steve:

time ago in the US.

Never heard of it.

Steve:

Yeah,

Steve:

but it's the same theme song.

Lovella:

Oh, that's nice.

It might have been one time, one episode.

Steve:

I don't know.

Steve:

Well,

Lovella:

Steve:

It clearly shows that we watch too much TV.

Steve:

Yes.

Steve:

Okay.

Steve:

tiebreaker question.

Steve:

So how this works for us, one plot and the first team to buzz in and answer

Steve:

correctly gets the two points or the win for us.

Steve:

If it's not a tie in your car, then you can allocate

Steve:

some points to this particular round.

Steve:

person wins.
