![]() ![]() When I put in ANAÏS, very early, a little warning light went off. wow, it is truly bygone and in desperate need of clean-up (I don't really get why the team of experienced editors doesn't provide more fill polishing in cases like this, but oh well). ![]() worthy.īut at least it's possible to enjoy the theme. ![]() Remembering olden catchphrases isn't unpleasant, if you're of a certain age (I am), but I'm not sure that, as a theme, it's. the New York Times Crossword Puzzle (, just this past May). I know this because it has always appeared as merely "DA BEARS" in. I think the number of "A"s in " DAAAAA BEARS" is absolutely fudged to get the symmetry with " MORE COWBELL" to work out. Not all of those words and phrases count as "lines." The other themers in this puzzle are all decidedly "lines." SCHWEDDY BALLS, isn't. Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, and Alec Baldwin do say it over and over, to comical effect, but. Even further, SCHWEDDY BALLS isn't really a "line"-it's a product. They still open the show with that line (I think). Further, " LIVE FROM NEW YORK." line doesn't go with the others, as it's not part of a sketch. Does Gen X not think that its pop culture can be "bygone"? Some bygone is fine, but this is entirely bygone, which may speak to the waning real-world impact of that show (what "classic" lines are there from the 2010s on?), but still this puzzle feels exclusionary, age-wise, and also feels like a grave. Yes, " MORE COWBELL!" can legally drink now. Worse, it's an ad for the show's ghost-the most recent of these "lines" is 21 years old. "lines." It's basically an ad for the show. I'm baffled by how this counts as a passable theme, as they're just. " LIVE FROM NEW YORK." is a cool 15, but this is not what you do with it. ![]()
