Now I wonder if that was what some people had already noticed when they cited the tenuous link. This seems really relevant.Īnd, then, oh my goodness.okay: the DECADE clue is at 30-Down. So the first clue is a Google to see the season length: 4 seasons. Thirtysomething (which was stylized in all lowercase). And a show's title that I knew existed popped into my mind: Nothing really happened in that regard, except I did think about decades of ages as opposed to historical decades (say, the 1960s). So on Monday night, I told myself, "I'll give it one more look, and then if nothing, it's a no-go." And this was one where I was struggling to see how, if at all, the title would cue me into the mechanism: "Age Appropriate, Age Appropriate." Hmmm. DUALROLE, for instance, was irrelevant here - and I struggled on the MMM "Autocorrect" by thinking the long entries (which were vibrant, DrTom, and well-done!!) were relevant - even though that wasn't the strategy. ![]() I had nothing, and one thing that's been a little dangerous to me lately is automatically assuming that longer entries are relevant to the meta. This, then, would be a shorter show about a longer time (unlike, say, M*A*S*H*, which was a longer show about a shorter time). Literally all I had until Monday night, assuming 30-Down wasn't a trap, was that, "This is a show that lasted 4 years and is about a certain decade." I don't know what other people's rules on nudges are, but I only ask for a nudge if I feel like I'm either a) really close or b) have gone through so many rabbit holes that I feel one of them was relevant. ![]()
