This game reminds me of 11/12/21, when Andrew He, in his 3rd game, was the “Class Player”, and his 2 opponents didn’t even have $2,000 heading into FJ!.
Yawn, a real blowout, after the challengers showed a little early promise. Ashamed to admit I blanked on FJ, even though I always watched that show on Friday nights since its inception. Took me years to realize it was a ripoff of “The Honeymooners.” Also ashamed to admit I know the Terry Jacks song, which rates very high on my Worst Songs Ever list. All of the other stumpers and last two DDS were unkind. Roni sure knew her demons, most of which were puzzling to me.
Aww…. my kids know that Terry Jacks song because i used to play the oldies station a lot. But I don’t know if they would have remembered the title by the lyric in the clue. Terry Jacks and his wife also did “Which Way You Going, Billy” as the Poppy Family.
Yes, I almost mentioned that. I do like that one, with Susan singing lead. I consider the song in the clue to be on a kindergarten level of complexity.
It began as quite a competitive game, but then it morphed into a clear runaway for Ben, Anyways, I did a tad above average in the game, but was stumped in FJ. Well, we kids always favored One A Day vitamins which were pretty good in fact.
My favorite Flintstone cartoon is Cinderellastone, as I mentioned in this post.
2/3 on DD, and got FJ.
Roni had, I have to say, a very smooth, soothing voice. She reminded me of a woman maybe I should have married about 20 years ago. She was slower and measured, but didn’t seem like she was slower, like Liam did (in my perception). It’s really too bad she didn’t do better.
I only got about 1/3 of TS.
