Hi Strands fans. As a sitcom geek, this one was a joy! An easy joy, but a joy nonetheless.
It helped that I saw COMMUNITY virtually spelt across the very top of the board. The double 'E' to its right eased out VEEP (which I happen to be watching at the moment), and that revealed the spangram of SITCOMS spelt out directly below it from left to right.
After a failed attempt to find Seinfeld and Frasier (booo), I went a bit further back in time and found CHEERS in the bottom right-hand corner. Going even further back, I then saw BEWITCHED to its left.
The last two were firmly in the 90s and 2000s staple. FRIENDS was tucked away in the bottom left, while SCRUBS was immediately above it.
That was fun! I'd have happily done a board twice the size racking my brains for more sitcoms if it were possible...
