3/5 with no * (had no clue for Chuck E. Cheese but it made total sense when I heard the answer).  Like @M. Darcy, I knew it was Casablanca but couldn't make my brain remember where the flight was going although I know it is referenced in the movie quite a bit.  

Thanks for everyone's good wishes for my health - still improving but not back to 100% yet.  I ended up going to urgent care (mainly due to concern of pneumonia).  The doctor said my lungs were fine (hurrah!) and that cold that was going around was just nasty & took quite a while for recovery.  I did a course of steroids which helped a lot. Happy thoughts and hugs being sent to all other sufferers!

1/5. You can find me at the popular Saved By Morticia table. Can I interest anyone in a slice of Cousin Itt cake?    (Don’t leave me in the Lurch.)

After a slow start I got Wednesday-Fridays answers. Ot sure if one of them included an asterisk. So 3/5 for me. Will amend with * status and food over the weekend. 
 

@Clanstarling Please add one * to my score. I got Crayola. 
 

I’ll bring some candy canes because I enjoy eating them when eating chocolate. Any leftovers can be put on our Christmas trees if you celebrate with one.

War and Peace was an asterisk, right?

If so:
Week 13: 2/5:  Tues: War & Peace*; Wed: Poland

Not sure how I didn't pull out Morticia.  I was stuck at "Morty".  Wasn't that some guy in the 60s, and Rick's friend in the 2020s?

This was me, exactly! I was stuck on Mort or Morty and never got to the women's variation. 🤦‍♀️ When the correct response was revealed, I was SO angry at myself because I was a huge fan of The Addams Family as a kid. I had amassed more than two full sets of Addams Family trading cards. (Yes, that was a thing in the '60s and gives an inkling of just how popular the TV series was.) The reason I know I had at least a double set was because when you flipped the trading card over, it had a piece of a photo on the back and when you collected the full set, all the pieces came together to form a poster-sized photo of the whole family and I had two of them!

I also loved Wednesday, so there's really no excuse for my not getting the correct response. I'm looking forward to Season 2!

3/5 with 1* - all wild guesses, but I got War & Peace, Poland and Morticia (at one point in my little Grundoon life, I thought Carolyn Jones was the epitome of cool).  

Within the Addams Family / Munsters 1960s world, Carolyn Jones was the coolest part.
I watched them, but didn't really care for them because I was a squeamish kid, so I did NOT get that FJ.

Sorry for late scores, getting over my yearly late fall/early winter cold I though I managed to dodge this year. I'm on the mend though!

WEEK 12 (25 NOV): 4/5, one *.

WEEK 13 (2 DEC): 4/5, two *.

The only reason why I knew the clue for Crayola crayons is that living in central NJ the Crayola Factory in PA is a popular field trip option and my mom who was a teacher took many of her classes there, a few times I went to help as a chaperone and I remember the tour guide or video or something using that phrase.

Do you remember the smell?
Like people in Hershey PA remember the smell of their factory?

Unfortunately they do very little factory stuff at the Crayola Factory. The factory used to be there but was relocated somewhere else (I don't recall where) and the Factory is basically just a glorified miniature theme park where kids do crayon related activities. There is an old fashioned machine that tour guides use to show the old fashioned process so I would say the clue is accurate. They also have a smaller facility on-site but off limits to visitors that make crayons that are sold in the gift shop in a special box saying "Made at the Crayola Factory - Easton, PA"
