I saw three of the four connections immediately, but only noticed three Oscars, three beds (didn't notice "sleigh" right away), and five loops - "Oscar O" was a guess.
I also thought having "crock" and "pot" in the same category was a trick of some sort.

Forgot at first that Elementary was a TV series, and tried to link monk and Kojak as some form of slang for a bald head.

Since when is "crown" a term for the entire head, as opposed to just the top of it?

For those of you wondering, no, it's not something like Fry and Bender from Futurama; it's Stephen Fry (now the host of the UK version of Jeopardy!) and Hugh Laurie (the star of House).
