IBEENHAD is not a thing. Smart TVs do not have DVRs. If someone is the PERP[etrator] in a TV show, they're probably not an extra, they'd be a main character. Overall, an unenjoyable puzzle, even after figuring out the gimmick. Just a real slog to complete, even with cheating.

Not a fan. The revealer was very unclear, I was mentally trying to get ENDS to work with the clues, rather than BOOK. I did better then my Tuesday average, but as others suggested, this seemed more complicated than a typical Tuesday. Maybe the clueing just wasn't clear enough today.

Like others said, something about this puzzle just seemed off. Not that it was extremely hard, which it was, but that's fine for Saturday. It was something else, like the answers to the clues were too vague or could've been a dozen other answers. And often the crosses were the same, or somewhere unknowable, so they were no help. I couldn't even finish this one without Check Puzzle a few times, something I almost never have to do. Lost my gold star streak on this one.

Extremely frustrating that actually putting LINE in the answers, to complete the words, was incorrect. If it hadn't been for those, I'd have finished the puzzle without cheating. Thanks for ruining my golden streak on a gimmick.
