Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the coords listed above. You'll need to listen to the link below to find the cache.

Several cachers complained about my last puzzle cache, ELO, because some of the songs were either obscure, or that they couldn't understand the words.

So I came up with a similar puzzle cache - but this one should be much easier. You'll see when you listen to this MP3 file.

Identify the title of each of these 60's TV shows, and write their names down.

Label each show title A through H.

If you are unsure of the exact show title, check wiki on the internet.

Follow the instructions below to get the appropriate digit.

The cache is at: N38 2A.BCD W121 2E.FGH

A = Length of first word in show title
B = Length of first word in show title
C = Length of first word in show title+1
D = Last number in show title+2

E = Length of title character's first name+1
F = Number of words in show title
G = Title family's last name-4
H = Title family's last name-1

You can check your answers for this puzzle on this Geochecker link.

Hint: Double-check the instructions on G & H, it is the FAMILY NAME, not the show title. Don't count the 's'.

ALERT: As the cache owner, I represent that the audio file referenced above is safe to access
although it has not been checked by Groundspeak or by the Geocache Reviewer for possible
malicious content. As a result, you are accessing this file at your own risk.

There is a barky dog just a few feet away on the other side of the fence that wasn't there when I hid this cache. I apologize. Be vewy, vewy quiet, and maybe he won't hear you!
