  1. Good Morning, Everyone…🐟 STUFFED TO THE GILLS! 🐟

    🎶 ENOUGH is ENOUGH (is enough)…I can’t go on, I can’t go on no more, no…🎶 “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” – Barbra Streisand & Donna Summer 1979 https://tinyurl.com/y7h8ysvp

    🐟 It bordered on the SINFUL side…there was so much to eat,
    They’d grill and maybe FLASH sear some, UPEND spice with the sweet..
    A SITCOM premise it could be…a party and who went…
    They could title the episode ‘Tonight’s meal…”SUF-FISH-ENT’”🐟

    Today’s puzzle SERVES up a very witty solve. With who I take to be two caterers by the way they’re dressed alike heard discussing whether there’ll be ENOUGH FISH to go around; and seeing that of COURSE there is…(loving the fish board)…besides our dialogue giving us “even a little extra”…and those tell-TAIL quotation marks…this one called for no FISHing, no GRILLing…and no reGROUP(er)ing..It’s easily broken down to SCALE…the food is definitely “SUF-FISH-ENT”https://tinyurl.com/5n79hv4k …And we’ve REELED in another winner!

    So…the soFISHticated party guests? There’s Jeff at far right, having esCHEWed his usual T-shirt in FLAVOR, I mean favor, of another of his sartorial favorites…one with a Hawaiian flair…(Kathy must have adDRESSED the subject with him)…He’s seen speaking, but with the ANGLING at which he’s standing, even though I SQUIDted, I’m coming up PLANK…TON of possibilities though as to who it might be. And behind him stands who I believe to be his good friend, Lissa SEARs. https://tinyurl.com/56ky34jt Speaking of Kathy, the GILL of Jeff’s dreams, she can be seen at far left, in CODversation with who I think is Jeff Tweedy, https://tinyurl.com/bdhddcad (another of Jeff’s good friends)…going by the hat. You’ll recall that both Lissa and Jeff T. have appeared many times in our puzzles. As for the other two guests whose faces are visible? PERCHance we’ve seen them before, but I’ve tried exSALMONing them and I can’t get a definite LINE on either. But I’m not going to MULLET over…Maybe if they’re REEL-life people Jeff will let MINNOW…And as for the table setting? With the elegant bowed chair covers and the elaborate three-armed candelabra? …I’ve an INKling to call it exSQUIDsite! All in all, Jeff’s definitely given us another one of his very creative CRAYtions! He just keeps getting BETTA and BETTA, doesn’t he?

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, stay safe…and if you can think of some BETTA Fish puns, DROP me A LINE…It’s no SEAcret I love a good pun…🐟🙋🏻‍♀️

    Continued prayers for Damar Hamlin…
    AND I STAND WITH UKRAINE 💔🇺🇦

  2. ⚡️That one FLASH of lightning was SUFFICIENT…it managed to UPEND her evening, and prompted her to turn off the SITCOM “SINFUL” that she was watching…⚡️

    🤦🏻‍♀️ Addicted to the SITCOM, she streamed it hours on end,
    It started to UPEND her life…SINFUL the time she’d spend
    She needs a FLASH..reality’s jolt…right now she’s not proficient…
    Two hours at the most each day is what should be SUFFICIENT… 🤦🏻‍♀️

  3. As usual, will have to go back to cartoon and spot all the items Angela pointed out to her readers. And also reach for the dictionary to see what BETTA means. A fish??

    Am sure all my fellow Jumblers saw FISH as part of the answer. That made an easy blind solve. Couldn’t quite see SITCOM until backed in with S and T from cartoon puzzle. It was a good Jumble morning !!! Happy TGIF (TGI…Fish)

  4. Wow , hello Friday ! Heading into the weekend , with two in a row of couldn’t see jumbles ! I had no problems with the anagrams , except I almost had a FLASH on the first one ! I really took my time and relaxed when I got to the jumble , but I just couldn’t get it ! I must’ve not had any bait on my hook cause I couldn’t catch any , it just wasn’t SUFFISHENT ! But let’s have a great day and I’m ready for end of the week Saturday !

  5. Good morning. What a difference a day makes. One day your at the top of the mountain and then the next day you tumble to the bottom. I just couldn’t come up with the simple word of Sitcom. I looked it up and just shook my head in disgust, so easy and yet I missed it. Naturally I saw Fish but couldn’t figure out what to do with the remaining six letters. Total bust but tomorrow brings anew. Really enjoyed your duo song choice Angela. Barbra Streisand Brooklyn girl graduated from Erasmus high school. Until tomorrow stay well and stay safe.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Barbra never fails…As for Sitcom, those portmanteau words are tricky…you’re not alone in wrestling with it. Have a good one…be well and stay safe out there…🐟🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. Hi Everyone – I had no problem with the answer, but I had to back into both Sitcom and Sinful. Upend wasn’t a cinch either. I enjoyed your many fish puns today, Angela.

  7. Flash stumped me as did the cartoon. Fish was an obvious middle word in the cartoon solution but I thought the was the 3 letter word so the hyphenated answer stumped me.

    • You have to study the dialogue, Prof…the key was right there. The words “Enough” and “Extra”…Plus seeing all that Fish! …And with the entire solve being in quotes AND hyphenated, that was the clue to the answer calling for just one word, therefore “The” wouldn’t come into play. I think if you would have had Flash, you’d have seen that there were 2 F’s needed…But be prepared…I’ve seen tomorrow’s puzzle…and there’s more quotes on the menu! 😉🙋🏻‍♀️
