Please ask all earned DQs by 2200 EST today (29 Dec). Chock and DLR have one each, and two of EH’s DQs are available for use by them or by EH.
I can think of three potentially useful DQs.
Take one of mine!

Chock has one DQ remaining, and two of EH’s are available for use by Chock, DLR or EH himself. I’m going to bed; in the morning I’ll answer DQs that have come in overnight and request final DQs.
I’m guessing I didn’t watch this show.
80s American sitcom, possibly second tier as it never won an Emmy, but popular enough to get a spin-off, unless it was the spin-off
Not work place based, so not Taxi, Cheers, Designing Women, Night Court
Not family-centered, so not Family Ties, Full House, Cosby Show, Married With Children (started in the 80s, even though its popularity peaked in the 90s)
Golden Girls? - no N names I can remember, and wouldn’t be alive today, considered all the main actresses have passed away.
Naomi? Nancy is common
Maybe narrow down by network?
DQ: Aired in the US on the NBC network?
At times like this I ask myself, “What would Charlotte Rae tell her girls?”
EH’s leftover DQ: from a spin-off?
Even assuming she is from The Facts of Life, that raises the question: “Nancy or Natalie”? (Facts of Life was a spinoff from Different Strokes, btw.)

Chock, Prof, EH, DLR: Final “Firstname Lastname” DQs, please.
Well, everything points to Facts of Life, but I’d have to guess which name is more popular.
DQ:
Are you a Facts of Life character?
“Firstname Lastname” DQs only, please.
I just remembered that Nancy McKeown played Jo. So it wouldn’t be Nancy.
I could be wrong.
Are you Natalie from The Facts of Life?
Sheesh. Lay down for what was supposed to be a brief nap, and slept for over six hours.
Yes! I am Natalie Green, played by Mindy Cohn on The Facts of Life.
(There actually was a Nancy – Nancy Olsen, played by Felice Schachter – to begin with, but she was dropped from the main cast along with a couple other girls after season one, was a “recurring” character in seasons two and three, and then returned for a reunion episode in season eight.)
Congratulations, Prof. P., on the last Botticelli win here of 2022!
