Pic-Tac-Toe (12th edition)

This will be the last Pic-Tac-Toe of 2007. By now you know that it's a puzzle of nine images arranged into a 3x3 square, Brady Bunch style. Each row, column, and diagonal has a theme. Your mission is to solve the puzzle by figuring out all 8 themes. Good luck!

(Click to enlarge, and make your guesses in the comments.)

SOLVED! K-Lyn mastered 5 themes, Billie got 2, and Bill was the closer. Speaking of, Bill's new 3-D Pic-Tac-Toe can be found here. It's really an amazing creation -- 27 images, 49 themes -- and it must be seen to be believed.

  5. Welcome, billie! You are correct on the top and middle rows.

    This just leaves the 159 backslash diagonal, then.

  6. Ah, I came back her to trumphantly proclaim COTTON only to find I was too late. Oh well, I would never have gotten Oscar Winners...Stevie was totally throwing me.

  7. Wow, I step out for a few hours...

    The backslash diagonal is RAP ARTISTS (Eve, Q-Tip, 50 Cent).
