Possible Title: Times to Play
HangmanTheme: I see two, in a way: the grid has four hangman posts and there are several references to dates in the clues.
Good Ones:More work UTOPIA [More wrote it]
Border guard? COLLIE [Border Collies guard flocks]
Who knew?:“LOVEEYES” was a Nancy Sinatra “hit” ... and crossed with SATAY?
Ilene Graff is an actress.
Some Nits to Pick:Mel Blanc, e.g. VOICER [Voicers are related to music; using it to describe Mel Blanc as a voiceover artist seems a misuse of the term. An argument may be made that he uses his voice; hence, he’s a “voicer,” but in that case all animals that have voices would fit.]
RATING:
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun
