PUZZLE #179: The Block List 2

PUZZLE #179
THE BLOCK LIST 2

This puzzle contains a word suggested by Patron Grant Fikes. Support me on Patreon at $20 or more per month to suggest one word or phrase every month!

In each numbered row of squares, fill in the squares of each color with one of the given words below from the set of that color, keeping the letters in their original order, so that the entire row spells out a single longer word. However, you have to figure out what each smaller, color-coded word is based on the clues given.

Once you're done with the first four rows, enter the letters of the remaining words into the last row of squares similarly to spell out the FINAL ANSWER: a short-lived game show whose title is more than one word.


RED WORDS
* Most common conjunction
* Redheaded main character of Futurama
* Comic book author Simone who wrote for Wonder Woman
* Grains in a golf trap

BLUE WORDS
* Woody Allen voiced one in a 1998 Dreamworks animated movie
* Feathered friend of Kirby in Kirby's Dream Land 2 (or a dove's call)
* _____ the tail on the donkey
* Crossword editor Shortz

GREEN WORDS
* A byte has eight of these
* Shy, like a certain rodent?
* Box lifted by a forklift
* Wayne Brady's role on Let's Make a Deal

ORANGE WORDS
* "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" band Manfred _____
* Friars Club event
* Hornet's attack
* Desperate Housewives actress Hatcher

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a version you can print out!
