THE BRADY BUNCH: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]
PROGRAMS: [Across Lite] [Adobe Reader]
I’m pretty sure that if you’re a fan of the ole’ BEQ puzzles, and know more than a few things about ole’ BEQ himself, today’s title will not throw you for a loop. Not in the slightest. You’ll see right though it. For the other 2% of you, I’m sure that “aha” moment will be something. No friggin’ doubt.
Share the puzzle. New one on Monday.
Absolutely no clue about the theme as I never watched the show, but I assume 42D would characterize the cast. Anyone?
I’ve watched the show and you went over my head. The closest reference I can get out of PAT is to PETER as played by Christopher Knight. As you can see, while I knew what the title was referring to (without the handy blurb above), I didn’t see how it linked into the theme or anything like that.
Given the theme, shouldn’t that be Remington, not Norelco?
I think you mean Gillette.
It took me a while to figure out the Chief theme. I had to Hunt a bit. 😎
The “Brady bunch” is the New England PATs.
I think this was originally a HARD puzzle and you softened it up a little…. BROS BEFORE PATHOS slowed me down – I filled BROS BEFORE HATHOS – Which could be true for Andrew Sullivan!
I finished this dense puzzle without any idea of who or what is the Brady bunch. Does anybody know how “bros before pathos” or “patella enchanted” relates to the clues or the theme, etc., etc.. This was the weirdest puzzle I’ve ever encountered.
Dammit! I started down that path until I saw The Brady Bunch photo above. Then I spent to much time obsessing on it. BEQ catfished me with that damn photo. Good job on your part though, and thanks for pointing out the obvious to us denser folk. Now I can move on to the next puzzle.
