An 
company.
There's nothing much to say about this show other than it was a cheaply produced time-waster with insultingly easy questions about pop culture.
Then why am I wasting my time writing about it? Well, the one and only episode I've seen (on PAX, I think) asked, "Who directed THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS?" The answer given was "Tim Burton," which was, according to the show, "correct." Now, anyone who regularly visits IMDb should know that Burton only produced the movie and that Henry Selick is credited as director.
I couldn't believe the producers of this show were too careless to confirm the accuracy of their questions. If I had been a contestant in that episode, I would have raised a big stink. If the makers of a show don't care about its integrity, why should anybody watch it?
On the bright side, however, I watched this episode with my roommate who had never heard the name "Henry Selick" before, so he eagerly wagered $50 that I didn't know what I was talking about. ("Surely Tim Burton is the director of TIM BURTON'S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS," he must have said to himself.) Well, he'll never make that mistake again, as I cheerfully separated him from his beer money that evening.
