On shore while solving on iPhone during travel. Had to google answer to confirm since I didn’t remember this show.

Ashore, but only with a huge nudge.
I’ve heard of the answer, but never saw it.

But I do see our garden version of 41D every day. Meet Lionel, he’s fearless, not cowardly at all- and also a real fun guy

I think I am on the right beach this time after missing on the last two. It clicks for me but not 100% confident. I’ll see on Monday.

We got onshore yesterday during the Zoom call when Wendy confirmed we had it. I remember the tv show.

Good memory! I found the puzzle you're thinking of. I'll send a PM so I don't give any spoilers.
Kindly tell the rest of us on Monday.

Ashore, solved and submitted. That other thing I do besides crosswords (work) really got in the way of solving this week. It took me a couple of looks to get it, but happily on shore now.

G’morning, Isaac. Yeah, still working on this week’s puzzle. Could I ask you to take some of your fruit garnishes and make me a breakfast smoothie? Thanks a bunch!

Did the puzzle late last night / early this morning and immediately knew the answer. But slept on it and asked for confirmation just to be sure. Definitely remember watching it back in the day. Can name at least two of the actors and can visualize a couple more.
If I'm around, I am willing to join the Muggle Zoom room at other times to lend a hand to those in need.

Have a great weekend, Muggles.
P.S--Wendy must be tied up today. I NEVER beat her.
And apparently, I didn't beat Wendy after all. I have worked rowed way back to the ship to join Isaac, fins between my legs! Realized on the Zoom call that I went to the incorrect TV series! So, you all enjoy the beach. I will be eating humble pie with my Bloody Mary!

Ashore. I actually did watch that show on occasion, unlike some of the themers.

Ashore, but I confess I never saw the show. Went down a bunny hole that could lead to a different answer ...
