I considered that but I’ve noticed games where someone leaves a puzzle, someone answers, then time goes by as you wait for the puzzle giver to come back and confirm or deny tend to end up dragging along. I personally think it’s better this way and moves quicker.

But what do I know? :shrug:

Games are better and more fun when they are interactive with people taking turns.

I could move this thread to General if it's just a list of shows. It might do well there.

Groucho show was correct but there’s apparently 2 right answers for that one, so 1 is still available.

Hints

For Garry Marshall the show was his first show as a producer.
For Goldie Hawn that show has a Dick Van Dyke Show connection.
For "Say the Secret Word". The second show was a Saturday morning show
For "She wants Biology Teacher" that show was also a radio show

Here are a few others from previous posts.

I agree with the one 4 word list for a show per post. But it was requested to bundle them in one post so the thread doesn't get too long and things get lost in the thread.

Right now I don't plan to add any new listings. I will respond to those making guesses.
