Family Reunion (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a TV family
Well, here's another "week 5" for you! This is a bit of an unusual grid for me: it's relatively low on the word count (72 in total), and there's less 3-letter words than usual. So yes, it might be more of a challenge to fill in the grid. But at least I've provided you with a meta hint! The answer to the meta is a TV family. Answer & explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=183864#p183864
Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!

    Good AHA moment!
    Torturous prior to AHA moment. But good AHA moment.
    • imontoo 2s · 2024-10-29T15:21:04.762Z
      Fun, Ben!
      • DrTom 20:48 · 2024-10-29T15:26:27.627Z
        Fun. Grandpa was my way in, but then I looked for other family members like FATHER in tether. All of a sudden I saw Herman and I was headed down Mockingbird Lane. I’d say it was a snap but that’s another series…Da Da Da Da, click click .
        Thanks for the entertainment Ben
        • woozy 12:41 · 2024-10-29T16:17:39.125Z
          Rather bizarre coincidence that three key entries end with ___ETHER and that isn't a component of the meta.
          • kurtalert 🤓5:32 · 2024-10-29T17:50:57.686Z
            Fun one - thanks Ben!
            • MatthewL 🤓8:58 · 2024-10-29T18:03:21.630Z
              Got distracted by all the "MAN" and "MEN" in the grid. Finally saw GRANDPA and LILY and then it was a pretty short trip. Thanks for the puzzle, Ben!
              • hoover 2s · 2024-10-29T17:43:20.208Z
                Grandpa was also my way in, and then I saw Eddie and knew where it was going.
                • woozy 12:41 · 2024-10-29T18:07:57.528Z
                  Susann and Day made me grasp at a straw of the Partridge family but I knew that couldn't be it. Pa-treon and Ma-nna seemed like deliberate red herrings but Gran being front and center made whatever possible play with those unlikely. But I figute gettogETHER had to be relevant but... wtf? stared at everything and so li-ly so figured I'd work on that and that was it.
                  Don't remember the Raven that well, but the pet dragon was named Spot, was he not?
                  • Capn Rick 7:51 · 2024-10-29T19:37:10.916Z
                    Good one, Ben! I somehow saw LILY first and then GRANDPA. Love this type of mechanism!
                    • Carolyn 2s · 2024-10-29T20:08:32.753Z
                      Lots of fun for Halloween week!
                      • Berto 2s · 2024-10-29T22:07:14.399Z
                        Of course! I used to watch this as a kid in the 80s, I didn’t realise it was originally from the 60’s!
                        • whimsy 12:52 · 2024-10-30T12:59:22.481Z
                          I saw what I thought was Grandad (with the P omitted) in the last two across entries. Figuring to find more family relationship names, I looked in the first two across entries and found LILY instead. No! Not Grandad -- Grandpa! Quick progress from there with HERMAN and EDDIE, and MARILYN was easy to spot, but who was she? I'd forgotten all about their "poor, strange cousin" counterfoil!!
                          • Steve M 34:26 · 2024-10-30T20:44:09.688Z
                            Haha! Loved The Munsters, and the meta! Thanks!

                              Nice one! Solved, but not on the board
                              • benchen71 constructor · 2024-11-02T03:00:07.632Z
                                That's so weird. I don't think I've seen this happen before. I wonder what went wrong?
                                • LarsCaine 18:41 · 2024-11-02T16:54:57.076Z
                                  🤷‍♂️If you look at your stats, does it show me as having solved?
                                  • benchen71 constructor · 2024-11-02T21:24:24.702Z
                                    No. Very strange. You must have solved, though, because you are posting here!
