The answers to today's Strands, game #404, are LINGO PYRAMID JEOPARDY
PASSWORD CATCHPHRASE SPANGRAM: GAME SHOWS My rating: Moderate My score: 2 hints

The theme contained buzz for the second day in succession, but today it was about GAME SHOWS buzzers rather than bumble bees.

An unfamiliarity with US Games Shows made this quite tricky for me, being based in the UK, but such is the globalization of TV formats that several
were familiar.

Although firmly established in television history, JEOPARDY! Has only just made it over the pond, where the brilliant Stephen Fry is the avuncular and thoroughly charming host.

Like all game shows it relies on a carefully calibrated format containing questions/answers that are easy enough for the audience to feel clever.

The same cannot be said for CATCHPHRASE which depends on at least one harebrained contestant to be enjoyable, such as the family member who
answered chicken poo when asked to name a type of food.
