Turning on the TV solution

Last week's meta puzzle, Turning on the TV, asked you to identify a TV show. What where the theme entries? Well, there were three entries with starred clues: HBCU, BASEBOARD, and COMET. The title suggests that turning is involved, and indeed, each of those entries forms a word if you turn right in the middle and go down until you hit a block:


HBO BASEBALL COMEDY is a description of the aptly-named show Eastbound & Down, which is the meta answer. Congrats to everyone who got it right!

Puzzle #92: Turning on the TV (meta)

Hey, it's been a few weeks since I've posted a new puzzle, so here's a meta (pdf, puz, pdf solution). The meta answer is a TV show. As always, feel free to email me your guesses or to ask for hints; I'll post the answer here next week.

I'd also like to link to the Kickstarter for The Inkubator, a project supporting puzzles by women, edited by Laura Braunstein and Tracy Bennett (who are both excellent constructors and excellent people). They've already reached their funding goal, but it still can't hurt to donate!
