      Thanks, Mike. Just right to have a smooth meta solve in time to leave for my niece's ... Newlywed Game, as it happens.

              Somehow I missed a few of your summer puzzles, Mikey, and I'm kicking myself for it. Fun stuff! Thanks!

                Fun... couldn't see it till I did.
                But whats the first game show for the opening S? Is there a gameshow called "sharks"?
                • Mikey G constructor · 2022-09-04T00:52:41.796Z
                  "Card Sharks"! Definitely was one where the original host (the late Jim Perry) was great and did all he could with the material he had - but the game itself was too simplistic to be engrossing over the long-term.
                • dplass 9:08 · 2022-09-03T23:48:36.540Z
                  TFTP. I feel like a dope for not seeing it sooner.

                    And here I thought this would be about baseball. I should have looked at the PDF sooner ;) This was much more up my alley but I still had to google a few to make sure they were shows. Fun!
                    • Mikey G constructor · 2022-09-05T01:36:34.031Z
                      I think I'm limited to one baseball puzzle a quarter!!
                    • whimsy 28:30 · 2022-09-04T00:49:43.392Z
                      Just dandy! Thanks, Mikey -- and I'll be game for more puzzles this fall!
