This week's contest is titled LONG ROAD AHEAD | By Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a TV show.

Long Road Ahead spreadsheet

Good luck with the grid and the meta

I may need strong nudges this week. The early odds before the meta comes out are 50-50 that I have ever heard of this TV show and 10:1 that I have never seen this TV show.

And this week we have a WLW special. Our own POE enforcer, @Wendy Walker is debuting her meta creator skills with a SSS (Sunday Summer Substitute) and a MMM (Muggle Meta Mondays). The SSS is released about 8 am Eastern and the MMM comes out early Monday mornings

On shore - WOW!

I did get a crossword-related mug this week from AVCX (I didn't win it), so that'll do!

On the beach! At least I got one of Gaffney's puzzles this week. I really liked this one. The other one not so much.
