Awww, I should have gone with Alex. That's who I thought of right off, but then I thought he might be too common and decided on Agnes. Oh well.King Butter Turtle wrote:For 'a character's first name', 'Aubrey' and 'Agnes' canceled out. 'Ashley' (Jenkins), 'Arthur' (Dent) and 'Amber' (Just Say Yes) each scored.

It's a bit of a stretch, yes, but, aiowiki lists its themes as 'love, reaching out to others and showing God's love to everyone'. While it's certainly not a romantic sort of love, I consider the lesson learned (from Mike ) to relate to love in the 'expressing God's' sense of the term.American Eagle wrote:A Lesson from Mike seriously counted for love/romance? It's about dealing with grief and reaching out to unpopular kids. I don't see the love story... at all.

It's your call.

Both of the name categories were a little fuzzy. Namely (haha ) because there's like a million Fred/Freddys! But, the category asked for a 'character's name', not a 'character' so, if one person said Freddy thinking of Freddy (b) and another person said Freddy thinking of Freddy (c), they canceled out. However, if one person just said 'Freddy' and another said 'Freddy Hart' (which happened), I counted that. So basically, I counted full names as being separate from lone first names but, didn't count first names as being separate from full names with that first name, regardless of the fact that there may be a character with that first name and no last name. I hope you follow that. Otherwise... take my word for it.
So, for 'a kid character's name', as I mentioned above, I counted 'Freddy Hart' but did not count the various 'Freddy'/'Freddie' submissions. A couple people specified that they meant the Freddy who appears in Connie Comes to Town which is even more borderline but, luckily they canceled out, rendering the submission's fuzziness moot. (ooh - that was fun to say ) I also didn't accept 'Felicia' as a kid nor did I accept 'Fred Wright' who is mentioned in More Like Alicia but, doesn't have a speaking part.
Then, for 'an adult character's name', 'Fred Holstein' canceled out along with 'Felicia'. I also considered 'Fred' to cancel out along with the Holsteins as per the aforementioned paradigm. Scoring responses included 'Foster Smith-Hammer' (Fifth House on the Left), 'Fox Fletcher' (Nothing but the Half Truth) (the only double score this round ), 'Fiona' (Thank You, God) and 'Flavius' (A Prisoner for Christ). Other correct answers include F. Bailey Babcock (The Merchant of Odyssey), Fanny Crosby (Hymn Writers), Fenimore Cooper (A Victim of Circumstance) and a few (but, not many) others.
'Something at the Timothy Center' was also rather ambiguous. I decided to only accept concrete nouns that have been specifically mentioned or implied in episodes but, as long as a response met those criteria, I judged them pretty broadly. 'Fences' counted because in The Quality of Mercy, Scott Williams breaks a fence on Tom Riley's farm and we know it's the same property. 'Forest' counted because it's been noted in several episodes and 'food' counted because of the food fight in You Win Some, You Lose Some. 'Floor'/'Floorboards' (Malachi's Message) also would have counted but, they canceled out. Answers that I did not accept were 'Family Cabin' since it's never been referred to as that, 'Free Time' since it's not a concrete noun (had I accepted things like 'fun', 'friendship', etc. it would have been far too vague) and 'feed' since it's never been specifically mentioned to my knowledge. We can assume that, since there are animals there, there must be feed but, by those parameters 'fridge' or... 'fiskar scissors' would have had to count and then... what's the point.
For 'an episode that includes a family', 'Family Values' canceled out. Other than that, all responses scored; 'First Hand Experience' (Bernard and Eugene count), 'For the Fun of It' (the Bassetts), 'Forever, Amen' (the Schmidts), 'For Better or For Worse' (the Meltsners), 'Forgive Us as We Forgive' (the Myers) and 'For the Birds' (the Parkers). Other correct answers include Fair-Weather Fans, Father's Day, Fences, Feud for Thought and probably at least a few others.
For 'a location in Odyssey', there were several easy answers but, to get points, you had to think outside the box. Finneman's Market, Frank's Breakfast Inn and Fillmore Recreation Center each canceled out. The only scoring answers were 'Fraley's Laundromet' (an impressive catch from a KODY commercial in Top This!) and 'First Church' (A Question About Tasha). The only other correct answer I can think of is Fishbine's Department Store. *looks it up* Ooh - First National Bank of Odyssey also would have counted.
For 'an episode that has at least one scene that takes place in Bible times', there were no correct answers submitted, nor are there any to my knowledge. (remember, I come up with the categories before choosing a random letter so, I wasn't expecting 'F' That's just the way it goes sometimes ) A few people tried things like '(by) Faith Noah', '(B-TV:) Forgiveness' and 'For the Fun of It' but, I couldn't count any of them.
Great job, everyone! The fifth and final round should be up soon.

To me, a character is only 'represented' if they require an actor. Otherwise, they're only referred to. Gosh - you guys make me get all technical!dictionary.com wrote:'character' - a person represented in a play, film, story, etc; role
I'm glad you mentioned that. I just listened to the episode and you're totally right! Well... he says 'family-sized cabins' so the F is only in an adjective but, he does say that specifically so, I'll go ahead and give it to you. I assumed you were talking about Timmy's Cabin. *score changed*Graces4you wrote:3.

Uh... make that Fishbine's Jewelers. It's in Gifts for Madge and Guy, which is actually a story so, I guess it's not in Odyssey. AIO wiki also says that Mrs. Fishbine (from All's Well with Boswell) is the wife of the owner of Fishbine's Jewelers but, I'm not sure how we know that. Maybe you're right.Laura Ingalls wrote:5.

Here our my answers to Round 4:
1. A kid character's name: Felicia
2. An adult character's name: Flavius
3. Something at the Timothy Center: Feed (as in horse feed)
4. An episode that includes a family: Forgive Us As We Forgive
5. A location in Odyssey: Fillmore Recreation Center
6. An episode that has at least one scene that takes place in Bible times: B-TV: Forgiveness (idk)
For #3, I was going to say "families," but I figured other people would've said that...and I thought it sounded vague.
