I tried. Couldn't get happy days or laverne and shirley (Ron Howard being the Oscar winning director). If they've both won oscars, there aren't a whole lot of options, but I have to run rather than see this through.

Ok, it's time to start up the next game!
Remember the rules: "For identifying the category correctly, you receive 10 points. For each entry, you get five points. (so there's normally 35 points available per category). However, if you do a clean sweep (get the category and all the entries right without anyone else identifying any of them beforehand), you get a 15 point bonus."
