We take a character, prop or episode (or anything, really) and run through the alphabet to find things that highlight the subject.

 

I keep meaning to ask -- is it a coincidence or was this game chosen for this forum because Betty and Rue used to play an alphabet game during taping?  (They'd run through the letters during breaks, and if they hadn't finished when it was time to shoot a scene, one would give her letter just before the camera started rolling, and then the other would follow up with the next one as soon as cut was called.)
