THE PUZZLE CORNER: SEPTEMBER 26, 2026

 😎FUN FACT

2026 is the 50th anniversary for The Gong Show, The Bionic Woman, Family Feud, The Muppet Show, Charlie’s Angels, Three’s Company, SCTV, and Laverne & Shirley.

WHO ARE WE?

Can you identify the people (real or fictitious) based upon the clue below?

We’re the only performers to stay with Charlie’s Angels from its first episode to the series finale.

FAMOUS FIRSTS🥈

Who was the very first host of Family Feud?

TRIVIA TIME⌚

Who was Three’s Company star John Ritter related to?

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX📦 and discover the results from the September 19, 2026 Puzzle Corner as we celebrated other 60th television anniversaries.

BEFORE AND AFTER

Two separate items share at least one word, and so can be combined to create something new. Based upon the clue below, do you know what the new thing is?

Marlo Thomas in a spy television show.

That Girl from U.N.C.L.E. (That Girl starred Thomas while the other was a spin off from The Man from U.N.C.L.E.)

THE 50/50 CHANCE

Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question except there are only two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?

TRUE or FALSE: The Time Tunnel travelers never returned home.

Officially, TRUE. The last episode of the series (“Town of Terror”) ended in a cliffhanger and ABC didn’t renew the show for a second season.

Yet Merlin the Magician (who was considered a real life character in episode 19) did briefly send them back to the present on a mission for him, but refused to send them back again afterwards.

TRIVIA TIME⌚

What famous character is The Green Hornet related to?

Britt Reid, the Hornet’s secret identity, started out as the (great) nephew of The Lone Ranger, since both series were co-created by George W. Trendle and Fran Striker. As the years pass, the Ranger is still within the Reid family history, but time and differing licensing agreements between the two characters make the connection more distant.

THE LONE RANGER: VENDETTA

Moonstone Books, 125 pages

While I am currently reading Monster Earth, I thought I should backtrack a bit and share my thoughts with everyone concerning the book I read before THE INTERCEPT BY DICK WOLF.

Got this book as a Christmas (2012) present and once I started, was surprised when I reached the end because it was such a fast-paced adventure.
Someone from the Lone Ranger's past is threatening his future by killing the few who truly know the man behind the mask.
The only clues the Ranger and Tonto have are a copper bullet and a trail of bodies that leads to Bryant's Gap, where the man he was died and the masked rider of the plains was born and might die again, after Tonto and the last living member of his family precede him to the grave.
Howard Hopkins was obviously a fan of the original radio and television programs, for I kept thinking of Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels throughout this adventure that should be considered canon, if it isn't already.
While sadly Howard Hopkins is no longer with us to write more Lone Ranger adventures beyond this book and the short story he contributed to THE LONE RANGER CHRONICLES, also from Moonstone that I hope to read someday, this book now has me on the trail of his long running western series for more good reading.
