Something Easy

It seems that some of you haven't been playing along with our graphical quizzes. The reasons vary -- from "They are always too stupid" to "Gimme a break, ya bleedin' maroon; I'm not freakin' Rainman."

OK, I will admit that sometimes the challenges require knowledge of some pretty obscure trivia. To me, that's the fun of it. But I do want everyone to be able to participate...so for at least a little while, I'm going to lob some softballs at you.

First, we'll begin with some word puzzles. Correct the following TV-related phrases:

1. Stately Wayne Newton
2. Commerce Bank of Beverly D'Angelo
3. When Polly's in trouble, I am not slow. It's hip hip hip to be square.
4. To boldly go where no man has gonorrhea
5. ...fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American Idol

OK, now we'll try a simple graphical puzzle. What do these four images have in common?



For extra credit, how does this image relate to the answer to the puzzle? (Hint, it derives from the plot; it's not about the actor.)



And for extra super-duper bonus point credit, how does the answer to the puzzle relate to this famous landmark?



OK, that's all for today. I hope everyone found today's challenges to be as easy as...well, you know. In any case, I've already started working on upcoming puzzles, too. I hope you'll return soon to enjoy those as well. Have a great day!
