... that on the 1950s game show Across the Board, crossword answers are clued by both a phrase and an image? Source: ref4: "For each word to be filled in, first a definition is read aloud by the emcee as a verbal clue, then an artist draws a special visual clue."
ALT1: ... that one critic deemed the crossword game show Across the Board "dull, witless, commonplace"? Source: ref9: "[I]t's another dull, witless, commonplace addition to a dull, witless, commonplace daytime schedule. There's not much point in tossing another chunk of fribble into a pot already thick with tedium."
