Answer: The Amazing Race

"The Amazing Race" is a reality TV competition show in which contestants in pairs race around the world, solving clues and overcoming challenges. A number of pairs start the race at a specific location and then travel to places around the world based on clues. Along the way there are various obstacles and challenges to overcome.

For example, a yield is a forced wait period, a U-turn is an extra forced activity to undertake and a roadblock is an activity that one team member of the pair must complete alone.

The pit stop is the finishing point of a particular leg of the race. The TV show was created by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster and has won multiple Emmy awards.

Question by player KayceeKool

Answer: Beatrice

"Murder She Wrote" ran for twelve seasons from 1984 and finally ceased production in 1996, having maintained high ratings throughout its course. It starred Angela Lansbury as the sharp-eyed crime novelist Jessica Fletcher, who, along with her successful career as a mystery writer, also found herself solving various murders in her real life.

The murders were done without the orgy of violence seen in most murder mysteries in later times, so were quite easy to watch and to try to solve from the ease of one's lounge room. One of the nicest things about this show is that it also guest starred famous faces of the silver screen from times gone by, whom Hollywood had left, undusted, on the shelves of yesterday. We are informed of Jessica's middle name, Beatrice, in episode 4 of season one, "Hooray for Homicide".
