I was almost stumped by the last one. I thought, "Could it really be the most recent one?" Sure enough, it was. They were both from New York.

Eloise still polled low, even though it was mentioned in Reretaken Down.

Re: FJs for the 9/9/19 week
I've not only been in the National Air & Space Museum, I also got lost in it at the age of 6. I wandered off to see a really cool exhibit, and my dad found me about 30 minutes later. I don't even think I ever realized I was lost.
And yes, I got that one right. 3/5 on the week for me. On Tuesday I couldn't get the 1st Super Bowl or MASH out of my head, even though I knew the dates weren't right. But also never would've gotten it anyway. Wednesday I latched on to Little House on the Prairie, didn't think it was right, but couldn't think of anything else. 32 years too late, apparently. But at least I got Gath!

The SB comment reminds me of a FJ one time that wasn't one of my favorites (and I'll preface this by saying that 99% of the time, when I don't know a FJ, I'm happy to have either learned a fact or something about how things connect):
It was along the lines of "He was president when Joe Namath led his team to a legendary Super Bowl upset." That was Super Bowl III, in 1969. So you had to know/remember/figure out whether the game took place before or after Jan. 20 (turns out it was held on Jan 12).

NHO of Gath. Put “Wonderful” in my answer. I have been in the Air and Space Museum from trips to DC in my Geography Bee days.
I also can credit the Sopranos as being the only reason I know Eloise lives at the Plaza. Carmella and Meadow would dress up and go there for tea once a year.

Missed the Friday FJ! - I went for 1944 (FDR vs. Dewey), forgetting that Clinton was listed as being from New York.

Re: FJs for the 9/9/19 week
I have not seen a full episode of The Ed Sullivan Show
Considered adding Wonderful but figured the response would be accepted either way
I have not been to any of the D.C. museums despite going to law school only a couple of hours away. School, work, and young children made such a trip difficult, but I regret it now.

Re: FJs for the 9/9/19 week
I learned the giant's name as "Goliath of Gath" long ago, so Monday was an easy one for me. Clearly, I'm in the minority on that one.
I'm sure I saw an episode of Ed's show as a kid. We didn't watch religiously at all, but I know I've seen a couple original broadcasts.
Didn't include "Wonderful" in the title. But then again, I didn't include "Oz" or "Wizard" or "of", either.
Desperately wanted to see the A & S museum the one time I visited DC. But was with a high school group and it wasn't on the itinerary. When I saw that Johnson had signed the bill, my first question was which one. When it became obvious it wasn't Lincoln's ex-VP, the TOM was pretty clear to me.

Re: FJs for the 9/9/19 week
Mon / Tue - No idea what I did; too long ago
I do know I pronounced it Huston tho
Gath?...
Never seen an episode of Ed Sullivan; have probably seen bits here and there, nothing remotely close to complete though.
Included 'Wonderful'
Been to A&S Museum twice and need to go back again (and to Udvar-Hazy...)
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.
