With the number of theme entries here, I’m wondering where the line is drawn between crossword and Sporcle quiz? You decide.
UPDATE: I have Friday’s New York Times puzzle. Get to it:

Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Sure, easy-peasy if you watch a lot of TV. If not — well, still fairly easy, I guess.
I don’t watch TV so all the show references were meaningless to me. In fact if all of the TV show clues had been replaced by the clue “TV show”, the puzzle would have actually have been easier for me since I would not have been initially distracted trying to figure out what the theme was.
Thanks for using well-known shows.
I needed the crosses on all the shows. Even SEINFELD which I actually watched. It didn’t help that I thought it was Sid MEYER. :/
Sporcword?
Good mix of eras and genres in there.
Fun theme! I must watch a lot of TV — I knew almost all of these right away.
I knew most right away and the rest were pretty inferable. I haven’t watched it but all the ladies at the office talk about is MAD MEN and the name of the firm actually came to me even though I tune out whenever the water cooler talk starts.
Easiest BEQ for me in a while, what can I say?
Right in my wheelhouse. TV shows that were largely a staple of anyone born circa 1970-72 = FTW. Big thanks for the (impressive) theme and puzzle. Cheers.
I did the puzzle OK, but how does “ellipsis firm/place name” clue the name of the show? It seem to me that there should be an “apostrophe s” after the ellipsis, as in “Mad Men’s Sterling Cooper…”
