Knew the green rationale; needed wife for 4th element after my first guess was wrong. Second would have been right, but still just a guess at most likely to fit. Then I got purple, but still neither of us saw blue rationale. I had that rationale for spaghetti western, but didn’t connect any of the others to it.

So ridiculously easy, IMO. I should have gone for the reverse, but I didn’t realize how easy it would be so I followed my usual strategy of entering any one that I see. No reason to get the wife involved with this one.

Was stuck on green for a while, and was only sure of 3 of the blue b/c Bull on Night Court was also on NBC, but I don’t think that was his last name and it’s a deep cut, but then figured out lemon.

Got first 2, then :duh: needed wife’s help. Didn’t get blue rationale before reveal. Did expect my second guess to be purple because that sort is frequently purple.
