Pizza basically raised me and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and I gotta admit Michelangelo knew what he was talking about with his pizza obsession. I'll never understand how this perfect food sparked such heated debates (looking at you, pineapple people), but that's what makes pizza so special. Between the late-night study sessions, birthday parties, and countless movie nights, those cardboard boxes have been there for all of life's best moments.

→ In the first live-action TMNT movie, what pizza topping does Michelangelo hate?
→ What pizza chain did the founder of Atari start?
→ What's the name of the pizza restaurant in Home Alone?

Random Question

THEN-Derdome: John Williams

Last week, you were asked to vote for your favorite "Must See TV" show and "Friends" barely beat out "Seinfeld," only beating it 36% to 33%.

For this week's then-derdome we're celebrating film composer John William, who celebrated his 93rd birthday yesterday! He's an Oscars legend, with the second-most nominations in history (do you know the first?), and the oldest winner. He's scored countless films you love, but which score takes the cake as his best work?
