The fill was ... inventive. Mostly in good ways, although it is really loaded up with proper nouns, particularly people's names. ADOLPHE ALDO GIO LEIGH JOANN ALI ALEC IVANI GINZA YOSHI YEOH LOHAN ENO Q*BERT ... this is by no means a complete list. Add those (and others) to the names that are part of the theme, and, yeah, welcome to Name Town. Not everyone's favorite Town. Everything seemed pretty gettable to me, though I somehow blanked on the middle letter of AYO (again!) and definitely had a "???" moment at the LEIGH (Vivien!) / GIO (??) crossing. For me, the good outweighed the name-nameiness of it all. "I THINK NOT," MILD SALSA, the triple colonnade of AB ROLLER, MET OPERA, and SPEAK-SING, plus GULP DOWN, A LOT TO LIKE. I have no idea what a TEA PITCHER is, but I liked that I could really feel the constructor going to great lengths to just Make It Work. Like the ROAD RUNNER & WILE E. COYOTE cartoons, this puzzle entertained me. That's pretty rare for a Sunday, of late (sadly). So I'm grateful.[AB ROLLER]What else?:63D: Avoid, as a falling anvil (DODGE) — you've already drastically broken the rules of symmetry, why not break some more rules while you're at it! The "G" and "E" in this answer are completely uncrossed. That is, they have no actual crosses, and the puzzle offers no other way of getting at them either (e.g. they aren't part of some longer word or phrase being spelled out across the puzzle grid). Unchecked squares are an out-and-out violation of protocol, but ... come on, what else are those letters gonna be? "DOD--" No other word in the English language could go there. So I'm fine with it, and especially fine with it because those letters go right into the top of the "coyote"'s head, precisely where the looming "anvil" is threatening to fall. Will he DODGE it? He will not.95A: North Carolina college town (ELON) — I knew it was a college, I'm not sure I knew it was a town. Weird to add a completely extraneous "town," but I guess if it confuses the solver a little (as it did me), then why not. This answer crosses another proper noun, JOANN, which gave me more trouble. I think I had her as JOANA and maybe JOANE before ELON set me straight. JOANN Pflug was in Altman's M*A*S*H and then was all over TV in the '70s and '80s, particularly on the game show circuit—a frequent panelist on Match Game, for instance., A long time ago, I was solving this puzzle and got stuck at an unguessable (to me) crossing: N. C. WYETH crossing NATICK at the "N"—I knew WYETH but forgot his initials, and NATICK is a suburb of Boston that I had no hope of knowing., This puzzle was really rescued by the theme—specifically the revelation that there was a second element to the theme. I had the circled squares as "UP"s and was wondering what was so special about an "UP" rebus, particularly one where you've gone to the trouble of marking all the relevant squares..
The one consolation for me, as someone who did not care for this puzzle much at all, is that it was over quickly. I knew every name in the grid (including the damn Afghani airline and SAUTERNE), and so there really wasn't any resistance to be found, anywhere., The song has been in the puzzle, of course—seven other times—but no one (apparently) had thought to build a theme around it, despite the fact that it seems to be crying out for rebus revealer status., That puzzle (a Thursday puzzle) was constructed by Erik Agard, and the theme was "HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE"—the theme answers were all (Hollywood) actors, but the clues didn't seem to make any sense until you realized that the clues were actually anagrams of the actor's names (hence the "shuffle")., I've seen a lot of rebus puzzles in my day, so any time a puzzle takes a rebus somewhere fresh or new or unexpected, I'm thrilled. Maybe "thrilled" is too strong for today, but "solidly amused," definitely., This puzzle was one of the rare occasions where the theme actually helped me with the solve. I also think it’s visually appealing that the puzzle is sort of, kind of symmetrical., He is a comedian / songwriter who does a show called "The Crossword Show" which I was lucky enough to contribute to back in 2023. I don't think I've ever solved one of his crosswords, but he has solved many of mine!.
