Re: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Not the best work by the players in the ship category. Gee, where do you think the Mayflower left from? Thousands have appeared on J! who would never be stumped by Fulton's ship. Or Damien's island. Or...
The DJ! category of -OLA followed by HE WAS A SHOGUN got a laugh. I'll admit to being clueless on the combination. Help, please? Thanks.
For those that like to make YoutTube laughs out of contestants responding straight up to clues but turn into schoolyard humor.. What is muff?
The FJ! category had me precall Carson/Paar, Oprah cars, Berle, shot J.R. and wishful thinking, Survivor.
The FJ! clue had me unable to write anything. Thinking the date was a space hint led me to know with certainty to reject: Jeannie, Martian, LiS, Star Trek. For a cement opening I knew Leave to Beaver's S1 was 1957.
What I needed to do was open my narrow mind to a fourth network as it's not the first time that I blew a chance at a save by only sticking with the Big 3. If my brain went a little more artsy-fartsy then the year would have brought it home.
Of course, the category/clue could not give a wisp of network or genre as that would make it too easy. As is, I completely understand why it skunked the contestants.
The next time the category comes up perhaps I'll remember to go a little higher on my dial.
Halley tried to reach 22,001 to cover Lauryl's possible 22,000 while Pete and Lauryl's fell below Halley's expected miss number of 5999. The advantage of the lead worked this time.

Re: Wednesday, June 29, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Should I make it on the show in the near future, there is going to be some real mental debate on whether I should underbet every FJ I see.
Without 20/20 hindsight, what is there to latch onto with this clue? The letter "D" is entirely misleading and left me grasping at already weak straws. I ended up putting Dallas just to have something. Is 1969 supposed to be the TOM? If so, I'll do my best to remember it and associate it with Sesame Street.
Other than that, no surprise on a triple stumper.

To answer my own question about the category coupling, it just hit me as I was entering the DJ! category: Manilow's "Copacabana" opening - "Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl"

Took the rest of the time to convince myself that Dallas could be that old.
Then I realized that there was a recent FJ with 1969 date and same TV show. No time for writing though. Given the category, I'm happy I got there.
Another 0 wager, Pete would have won.
Thanks - I didn't get it either.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 2:31 pm To answer my own question about the category coupling, it just hit me as I was entering the DJ! category: Manilow's "Copacabana" opening - "Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl"
Good enough to lose on Jeopardy!

The best I can come up with is carving stuff in cement is childish – a children's show from the era – Sesame Street. But that only works for me in hindsight; all I could make of the clue was the moon landing date, which was a red herring, and WAGed Dallas to have something.BrigadierSolo13 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 1:52 pm Without 20/20 hindsight, what is there to latch onto with this clue?

Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?

The other thing that distracted me on this FJ was that anything that premiered in July on a big 3 network would have been a summer replacement series, not a regular fall schedule premiere.
I had no guess.

Instaget for me, guess my mind works differently than others on here.
Here is the first episode, I only watched the first few minutes (through the boy taking a shower) but didn’t see anyone drawing in cement.

Pilot and episode 1 can be two different shows. This is the pilot scene:

Watching some of the episode you linked, I agree your mind may indeed work differently as I see a girl with lipstick and eye makeup having played, perhaps dress-up, taking the shower.
We need a tiebreaker.

Looking closer I agree it is probably a girl. (I didn’t pay that much attention the first time and shut the video down in the middle of the shower scene). I’m guessing a segment like that probably doesn’t air today.

Sesame Street premiered in 1969. Got it, but much too late for a correct response (initially thought The Brady Bunch, which also premeired in 1969).
Dallas, FWIW did not arrive until 1978.
