If the question was "When the world never seems to be living up to your dreams" they might have gotten it.

I know I've seen a "'70s TV" category with ODAAT as the answer. Probably long ago, though.

It comes up occasionally, the last time I believe in connection to the new version.

Valerie Bertinelli was an answer a few weeks ago, in a category about cooking on TV.

Now that the questions are up at the Jeopardy Archive, in case you were curious about the other 4 '80s TV clues....

$400- In 1980 fans of this series had to wait 8 long months before they would learn "Who shot J.R."

$800- In 1981, some 30 million viewers tuned in to see Luke & Laura tie the knot on this daytime soap [Note- on the show this was a visual clue. They didn't say "Luke and Laura". There was a picture of them and Mayim read "this couple tie the knot"]

$1200- (This is where the FOL question was)

$1600- Sharon Gless & Tyne Daly hit the streets as this title pair of detectives

$2000- All through the '80s kids "counted" on this PBS science series that featured the Bloodhound Gang

Are Raisins Good For You?

Despite their small size, raisins are packed with energy and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Raisins are naturally sweet and high in sugar and calories, but they're beneficial to our health when eaten in moderation. In fact, raisins can aid digestion, boost iron levels, and keep your bones strong.Jun 19, 2018
