TV HISTORY: A 1964 review of this TV special, still played today, mentions “trials as an outcast” & “the songs of Johnny Marks” show

Last week, the total right FJ! count was 7. It looks a bit better this week with 8 right. That’s a superficial glance though. A closer look shows the majority of clues got only one correct response, and 5 right responses came from 2 clues. “The Supreme Court” clue gets the nod for easiest. This landmark case should be a triple solve in any game! It’s funny in a way because last week, “The Supreme Court in the 19th Century” clue was the triple stumper, but that case wasn’t a landmark.

I’ll say the clues “Legends” and “TV History” clues were the toughest, even though the answers are very famous.
