Main Game
Three contestants sitting in lounge chairs would select one of nine channels on a big-screen television that stood behind Ober, with each channel representing a subject having to do with pop culture. Sample channels used on the show were "The Bon Jovi Network," "Brady Physics," and "Dead or Canadian." Contestants answered a series of questions from those subjects to earn points. Most channels contained three questions of increasing value, although certain special categories would have either one or two questions.
In the first round, the three questions in a standard category were worth 5, 10, and 15 points, in that order. Point values were doubled for the second round. The contestant who answered a question correctly could either stay with the current channel or select a different one; after the last question in a channel was asked, it was taken out of play for the rest of the round.
