National History Bee

First it was the Geography Bee, then it was the Spelling Bee, now we've got the History Bee.

I was disappointed to see no female contestants here...

The interstices (look it up if you don't know the word) were irritating. They'd show photos of the boys like they do for athletes, and they'd be standing there "styling" and looking as stupid as the photos of athletes doing that do...

Al Roker, the host, would intersperse personal questions along with the real questions. So stupid! Sort of like what Alex Trebek does on Jeopardy, but at least in that show, the questions are confined to the second half of the episode, not interspersed through it while the contestants are trying to concentrate!

As for the questions themselves, I'm about 50-50 so far...
