Fran accuses Earl of not spending enough time with his family. When a meteor crashes through the roof of their home, destroying the television set, Earl begs the family to try their luck as game show participants in an attempt to win the grand prize of a big-screen TV. Earl bones up on obscure areas of knowledge, but is humiliated when all the questions focus on television shows. The family only gets 5 points and loses badly, but goes home with the consolation prize of a 13 inch set.
