The Civil War
Star Trek
Doctor Who
and I'll take a Formula 1 Racing category for FJ.

My Ideal Board (writers, are you listening?):
Classical Music
U.S. Geography/The 50 States/State Capitals
World History
The Bible
Medicine/The Body Human
The summer Olympics
Others pop into mind, but just writing those has me salivating all over my keyboard and I must stop to do some wiping.

Re: Just for fun... your ideal board
Let's go with the two we agree on plus 80s comic strips. You contact the writers and the Contestant Coordinators to make the arrangements, and I'll see you in Culver City.
