First it was Sam's soul that was trapped in Lucifer's cage until Castiel got it out. Then Raphael, Castiel, and Crowley raced to open the doors of Purgatory and release the power of the souls kept there, while the Winchesters raced to stop them. Are you keeping up?

How Well Do You Know: The Nutty Professor
Eddie Murphy cracks us up again with his remake of the 1963 classic The Nutty Professor. Sherman Klump is a big man with an even bigger heart, but his one wish is to be thin. Sherman invents a potion and turns into the obnoxious but thin Buddy Love. With the funnest family dinner scenes perhaps ever filmed, Nutty Professor was as big as hit as Sherman was round.

If you thought that the first season of the NBC comedy Community--with its action-packed paintball episode and Goodfellas parody--was crazy, the cast and crew of that show went out of their way in season two to tell you that, well, you ain't seen nothin' yet. Season 2 features a zombie-filled Halloween episode, a self-aware "bottle" episode, an Apollo 13 riff, a claymation Christmas show, and a two-part paintball finale.

1991's Beauty and the Beast, Disney's 30th animated feature, is a retelling of a classic fairy tale. In true Disney fashion, it is complete with lavish musical numbers, rich animation and a cold-hearted villain. (Also, little teacups have never been so darn adorable.) This atypical love story was the first animated feature to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Tale as old as time...how well do you know Beauty and the Beast?
How Well Do You Know: Fringe, Season 3 Recap
A few million dedicated fans have stuck with Fringe since the beginning in the hopes that it wouldn't just be another forgettable science-fiction show, but something truly great. While the first two seasons had their ups and downs, the third season--which began with Olivia Dunham stranded in a parallel universe where the Fringe Division is commonplace--is the best season of the show, even though it wasn't perfect. Still, no other show on the networks (or anywhere on television) could boast shocking twists, inventive storytelling, and even an episode done like the Richard Linklater animated film Waking Life like Fringe. But the question is: how well do you know season 3 of Fringe?
