Very cute.

I would have said that this wasn't going to be a workable image, but it really works. Very fun!
#3: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Oct 5, 2007 [SPOILER]
Cute. I wasn't paying attention to the title so at first I thought it was going to be Hollywood Squares.

Wow, I can't believe you can sort of make out each person with so few pixels!
#6: Scylla Kat (scyllacat) on Mar 9, 2008
I dunno, I think everyone looks like Mr. Smith. :)

Pretty good for the small number of pixels. Fun to do.

What happened to Bobby's eye?!!! Haha!

I know this is an old one, but I just had to comment anyway, to say what fun this one was to solve. It wasn't easy, but worth the effort. So much detail in a little puzzle. Love those pig tails!

I think somebody needs to stop Deana from whacking Bobby.

#13: Joel Lynn (furface1) on Aug 25, 2010
I, too, was thinking of Hollywood Squares.
#14: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Jun 20, 2012
Would not have guessed. It still was a great puzzle to solve.

I know, coming back to the old one here (I wanted to solve all of Jan's in fact). Printed on paper and solved that way. Thought at first it was some long comic strip (strips tell a story), then when I filled in two heads I looked at it trying to find the correlation. When I then filled in one of the heads looking to the side, I realized immediately the intended image. Very nice!

Fun puzzle

Oh wow -- this is an amazing puzzle!

When my sister and I were kids, we watched really excessive amounts of the Brady Bunch. When Jan made this puzzle, he and I and our little kids and our exchange student had just finished watching the entire Brady Bunch show from start to finish -- all five seasons and all the spoofy movies.

Started this puzzle hearing the lyrics to "Blue" by Eiffel 65 (It starts with "Yo, listen up. Here's the story..."), but then I saw a Zoom meeting forming. I knew that couldn't be it because puzzle #88 would have been published well before anything like that got popular. Then I vaguely remembered a 9-square iconic oldie show that started with those lyrics. I guessed the Brady Bunch even though I've never even seen an episode. It's so iconic, even someone of another generation can get it.

Just loved this...and the back story, too, Valerie!

Bobby (Mike Lookinland) sang with my band at a college dorm party back in 1979. Three years ago I had a reunion with a different band (from way back when), and he was the singer in that one too!

wowzers!
