Dave's No Frills Fills

We got some good news  last week, and this puzzle is a tribute to that.  It's pretty niche and the theme is kind of a stretch  but whatever.  If this puzzle means nothing to you, I'm sorry and please go watch ITYSL asap.  

  Back after a brief hiatus! This one is maybe not as "fun" as the others I've posted so far because it was made with a publication in mind.  On the other hand, I think it's pretty smooth with some solid bonuses. I hope you enjoy! 

  Hi again! Back a week later with another themed puzzle.  Hopefully easier than last week, where I think I may have outsmarted myself trying to get a little clever with the clues.  Enjoy!   

Hello again and happy Friday to all! Before we get into the puzzle this week, I'd like to give a quick shoutout to Norah , who was kind enough to recommend my puzzle to the guys over at Fill Me In.  I was glad to hear their positive feedback, and I hope everyone else who took the time to solve enjoyed it as well!  Anyway, today is another themed puzzle.  It is my first experiment with word/phrase removal as a theme, and it is not test-solved because I am impatient and just finished now.  I hope it helps everyone get through the last little bit of their Friday workday!  As always, feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

       Hello and welcome to Dave's No Frill Fills!  I picked this puzzle out of my backlog because I thought it is a pretty good representation of what to expect from most of the puzzles on this blog.  15x15 puzzle with a straightforward (but I think fun) theme.  Like everyone who starts a crossword blog, I hope to post on a consistent schedule.  I am shooting for a bi-weekly basis, but we'll see how long that lasts. I hope you enjoy the puzzle, and feel free to send me any feedback via the comments section or in the Discord server!
