Have been doing surprisingly well on the pop culture of late. Once again no problems including the 4K Q.

He's a teacher, and he's a MAWG (or even an OWG)! Double reason to root for him.

I was thinking Pyrex would be an answer, but it wasn't (Pyrex is a type of glass).

There was no Becky in D, and the one in A was a brunette. I didn't watch Roseanne but I remember the change in actresses (although I can't remember the name of the "original Becky").

Nihil obstat® thus far.

I recently downloaded the pop culture cellphone 'BAM to brush up. I am also surprised at how well I can do. OTOH, there are some low-level questions, including the bottom tier, where I'm clueless and have to burn a lifeline.

No problems at all with this stack so far.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Lecy Goranson. She went off to college, then came back and alternated with Chalke in later seasons.

This happened when "Roseanne" was still funny. At the end of Chalke's first episode, they had the family watching "Bewitched" and commenting how lame it was when they replaced Dick York with Dick Sargent without any explanation on the change in appearance. Becky/Chalke commented that she liked the replacement better than the original.
