6) Porn?

 

[Stop Laughing]

Yep, Harry Morgan (Dragnet and M*A*S*H), #6 still remains though.

 

[Djcake]

3 a coin?

 

[HomeLAN]

I'll verify DJ's answer on #3. A coin, to see who went.

#6 - A deck of playing cards.

 

[MrBishop]

I like HLs answer to #6 - I'd think that it was a pipe and pouch of tobbacco...then again, smoking was accepteable then.

Alternative #6 - Dice?

#4 Sugarcane? - fake bamboo plants (or lucky bamboo plants)

 

[Stop Laughing]

OK, 4 down, 2 to go. Not sugarcane for #4, sorry.

 

[Djcake]

#1 U.S.A.

#4 Dandilions

Sorry, got busy again. Also can't edit the original post anymore. USA is right for #1, but #4 remains, and since it's the only one left, I'll just put it here for quicker reference.

4. What family of common house plant is used in the making of breakfast cereals, sugar, and alcoholic beverages?
