I knew as soon as I started that this was going to be a fun puzzle, and it was! Not too easy and not too hard. I still had a couple of lookups (mostly for spelling0, but considering I've only been doing the Tuesday puzzles for a couple of months, I thought that was pretty good. And I love the theme! I'm an art buff, and so this was really enjoyable. Thanks for a great Tuesday puzzle!

This was probably one of the easiest puzzles that I've done, although it's mostly because I'm old and I knew most of the answers. But it was a lovely trip down memory lane, and a fond memory of watching my beloved "Barney Miller". Thanks for a fun Monday puzzle!

As someone who worked in professional theatre (and yes, in the US, most theatre professionals use the British/Canadian spelling), I was very happy that my first instinct to spell THEATRE correctly was spot on.

I was surprised that you were surprised at the word RV-ER. I've found that pretty commonly used on a lot of message board forums related to travel.

I loved this puzzle and the theme! FWIW, I didn't figure out the theme until I had everything filled in, and even then it took me a few more seconds. Very clever! I was not clever about Cincinnati, although the question mark should have clued me in. I spent way too much time looking for a more straightforward definition. Probably because I was born and bred in Cincinnati and wanted to prove something to myself.

This was fun! And I love that two Brits created it. I like the simple ones, and I needed something like this today as my weekend was a bit stressful. I was a bit stymied on 1D until I remembered the correct spelling. My pilot brother would have been ashamed. I should add that I am 70 years old, and I have never seen Groundhog Day. I guess I have to rectify that.

Ha ha, this was really fun and a great Monday morning puzzle! I especially enjoyed Mr. Cheng's comment in the construction notes (I have a feeling it will be 47D). Like Callie, I was happy to see 29D, and am fighting off the urge to thumb through Macbeth. The theme itself just cracked me up, although I didn't get it until after I'd filled in all the circled letters and most of the cross letters. But it still made me laugh out loud. Very clever!

I actually did surprisingly well in this puzzle. Wednesdays are still fairly difficult for me, as I'm working my way up to Friday, but I enjoyed it, although there were some archaic words that I had never heard of. I think it helps that I have a son-in-law and three grandkids who are all addicted to soccer. Some of it must have sunk in without me knowing it.

This was fun, especially because I love gardening and it was a challenge as well for me. I just started doing Wednesday puzzles a month or so ago, and they're still a bit difficult, but I enjoyed this one a lot. Just curious if others have difficulty figuring out the vertical words. If they're short, It's usually fine, but if they're longer, I invariably have to write it out on paper with blanks. And as soon as I do, It pops into my head.

Sadly, there is no comment section for the Midi Crossword, but I did have to point out that a waist measurement is not the same as girth. The measurement starts at the waist, but then drops down through the crotch, and comes up the back to stop at the waistline. I thought that was a tad misleading. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable puzzle! I haven't done the main crossword yet, so I might be back.
