* I remember those gag lightbulbs that could light up in your hand or mouth sold in novelty shops before we saw Fester with one on TV!

I cry "FOUL" on Cleopatra "strangling" people! "Strangle" means she KILLED people! No one died, she HUGGED people!

9/12 wasn’t my favorite show and haven’t seen in a long time. Preferred the Munsters so I didn’t think I would do that well. But I recalled most of the gags as I read each clue! 🥴
