I got 7 of 20 right with mostly guesses, some slightly educated guesses. One that surprised me was the game Fox and Geese. This is a game I played as a child in Kansas! It was definitively the same game as described.

Even more disturbing is that when saying he'd want to "date" her, he really means a different word than "date". Pervert!

She's very beautiful!

This season is starting off so lame. I wouldn't think that everything has been discussed multiple times but it is so very repetitive now. One thing that seems different is the very lengthy discussion of the guest's career. There is no reason to go into depth - that's not what the show is about. Sharon Stone was very cringy with wide eyes and gaping mouth about every bit of information and the shock about Charlamagne was nuts, since a large segment of European ancestry connects with him. It was not an amazing revelation. I love the subject of this show but it is really starting to lose me.

Thanks!

Does anyone know what the Mexican dishes were called? I googled what they sounded like and came up with nothing.

I found it so jarring! Those songs are burned in my brain, too. I can "hear" them.

I agree with many who have written that there were too many storylines. They should have just checked in with the main characters and expanded a few plots. Something I noticed and was surprised by was that the songs Away in a Manger and Little Town of Bethleham had different melodies than American versions.

Due to the electoral college my presidential vote has never counted. My state has always gone Republican since my first vote. I deeply resent this, but I always vote anyway. My vote is counted even though it never "counts"!

I've contributed nothing to this discussion, but I've read it all and appreciate it so much. I'm wondering why there has not been a mention of mass deportations overseen by the military. This gets scarier by the day.

A few facts for perspective. My employer covers most of the cost of very good health insurance that for family coverage, costs nearly $48,000 a year. I've gotten garnishments for student loans that are around $50,000; the employee works part time for 12.50 an hour. This was pre-pandemic and they are hired at 14.50 an hour now.

Pretty much in the same way that I couldn't be friends with a serial killer.

Happy Birthday, Squeaky!

I believe you've identified the problem with this season. I found it very disappointing. The overload of guest cast was squeezed in to no real purpose. There is no excuse for Mabel being so dumb as to confront the killer! .

I have no interest in solving the mysteries. It is only a framework to support the things I love about this show. I haven't cared much for this season but this episode was good. I enjoyed Charles and Oliver in the Chinese restaurant.
