"World Series of Pop Culture"- Unfinished Buisness and the semifinals begin

Last night's episode was one to remember with that scoreless game during the first match. It's time to complete Wocka Wocka vs. Team Motherboy, starting with Game 3. The winners will face Almost Perfect Strangers 2.0 in a semifinal matchup.

Rachel Kayhill (WW) and Jamie Mulden (TM), and the category is "Medicinal Purposes", where all of the questions are about TV shows with a medical theme. Opening question, to Mulden:

Including the lyric "whether it's a tumor or the touch of the flu", the off-color song "Everything Comes Down to Poo" was featured in a 2007 musical episode of what medical-based sitcom?

"Scrubs" is right to get on the board. First question to Kayhill:

Howard Zucker, who earned a medical degree at the relatively age of 22, is believed to be the inspiration for what TV character played by Neil Patrick Harris?

She said "Doogie Howser" to tie it up. Next:

According to the series creator, what drug-addicted, misanthropic TV doctor was inspired by fictional detective Sherlock Holmes?

"House" is right for a 2-1 lead. Next:

For the first five seasons of the medical drama "ER'', George Clooney played what rebel pediatrician?

Kayhill has nothing. Mulden had Doug Bennett...but it's Dr. Doug Ross. But Mulden could still close it out if she gets this next question right.

On the TV drama "Nip/Tuck", Miami's plastic surgery set is terrorized by a violent psychopath who is known by what moniker?

She can't come up with much of anything, so this game will go to a sixth question. For the steal and a tie, Kayhill says "The Slicer"...."The Carver" was it. Final question, in order for Kayhill to force a tiebreaker:

Due to a legal settlement, what medical drama is offically considered a spinoff of the film "M*A*S*H", but not of the TV series?

After thinking about it, she says "Trapper John, M.D."...here comes a tiebreaker! Category is permanent co-hosts of "The View". All eight people on the list are females.

Jamie: Star Jones-$
Rachel: Meredith Viera-$
Jamie: Rosie O'Donnell-$
Rachel: Elizabeth Hasselbeck-$

Next category...actors besides Linden Ashby that have appeared in the opening credits of the TV series "Melrose Place". 22 actors are on the list.

That means Team Motherboy has a 2-1 lead in the match! To find out the other 19 actors and more information about the TV show, go to Wikipedia.

Now, Robert Bishop will try to keep Wocka Wocka alive against Lizzie Tomkin with the category of "Potty Mouths", where quotes with some of their foul language from TV shows and movies are bleeped. First quote to Bishop:

1991: "Put the bleeping lotion in the basket!"

He said "Silence of the Lambs" to get on the board. First quote to Tomkin:

1988: "Yippee-ki-yay, mother bleeper!"

I could barely hear her, but she said "Die Hard" to tie it up. Next:

2003: "I don't know why you gotta do it in front of the kid. With the bleeping. All you gotta do is say 'earmuffs' to him. 'Earmuffs'! Then you can say 'bleep, bleep, bleep'".

The man said "Old School" to take a 2-1 lead. Next:

1990: "Maybe it's me. I'm a little bleeped up maybe, but I'm funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to bleepin' amuse you?"

"Goodfellas" is right to tie it up at 2 apiece. Next:

2004: "America, bleep yeah! Comin' again to save the motherbleeping day, yeah!"

"Team America: World Police" is right for the man to take a 3-2 lead. Last question:

1998: "Saturday, Donny, is Shabbas, the Jewish day of rest. That means I don't work, I don't drive a car, I don't bleeping ride in a car, I don't handle money, I don't turn on the oven, and I sure as shoot don't bleeping roll!"

"The Big Lebowski" is right to force another tiebreaker! Category this time...excluding Don Galloway and Kevin Costner, name the eight actors and actresses from "The Big Chill".

The other movie was "My Best Friend's Wedding". That means Bishop will now face Mulden to decide which team will face Almost Perfect Strangers 2.0. Category is "On The Cheap", where questions are about movies that were shot under a $1 million budget. First question, to Mulden:

Disgruntled convenience story employee Kevin Hicks mans the register at a New Jersey Quick Stop in what 1994 Kevin Smith film?

That means Wocka Wocka has won what probably was the most nerve-wrecking match in this show's history, and will face Almost Perfect Strangers 2.0 in the semi-finals! What I didn't know was that Robert Bishop won all three of his team's games in this match!

The first semi-final match pits Twisted Misters against Three Men and a Little Lazy.

On questions about the 1984 movie "The Karate Kid", Matt Shuman beat Victor Lee of Twisted Misters, 4-2, to give Three Men and a Little Lazy the first game.

Twisted Misters quickly tied it back up as Andrew Unterberger beat Steve Calena, 3-0, by knowing more about VH1's "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs of All Time".

Twisted Misters then took the lead, 2-1, as Andrew Webber beat Matt Shuman, 4-1, on questions about famous cars that have appeared on TV shows.

For the fourth game, Gary Calena will try to give his three men a new lease on life as he faces Andrew Unterberger in the category of "The Tao of Bill Murray", where quotes from popular Bill Murray characters in movies are shown. First quote goes to Calena:

1984: "We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft is OK, he's in New York. We get this guy laid we won't have any trouble."

He gets "Ghostbusters" to get on the board. The other man's first question:

1980: "So we finish eighteen and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know for the effort, you know'. And he says...."

"Caddyshack" is correct to tie it up. Next:

2003: "For relaxing times, make it Suntory time."

Calena said "Lost in Translation" to take the lead. Next:

1996: "Sometimes a bowler just has to face the music."

"Kingpin" is right to tie it up. Next:

1981: "My philosophy: A hundred-dollar shine on a three-dollar pair of boots."

Calena said "Stripes"...good for a 3-2 lead! Final regulation question:

1998: "But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down."

Unterberger is excited because he knew it was "Rushmore" to give us another tiebreaker tonight! Category this time...besides "Never Say Never Again" and "Casino Royale", name the James Bond films. 20 are on the list.

Gary: "Die Another Day"-$
Andrew: "Dr. No"-$
Gary: "Tomorrow Never Dies"-$
Andrew: "Goldeneye"-$
Gary: "Living Daylights"-$
Andrew: "The Man with the Golden Gun"-$
Gary: "License to Kill"-$
Andrew: "Octopussy"-$
Gary: "Moonraker"-$
Andrew: "Goldfinger"-$
Gary: "The Spy Who Loved Me"-$
Andrew: "Thunderball"-$
Gary: "Her Majesty's Secret Service"-X (guess was not acceptable for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service")
Andrew: "You Only Live Twice"-$

That means that Twisted Misters are going to the finals! They will face either Almost Perfect Strangers or Wocka Wocka tomorrow!
