PUZZLE #327: Lucky Sevens 10

PUZZLE #327
LUCKY SEVENS 10

Before I get to my milestone 10th "Lucky Sevens" puzzle, I wanted to repeat some news that you may not know about (since it only appeared in my previous two "Answers" posts): I'm considering retiring the "Hint Star" system that I've been using for almost six years now, and replacing it with a different (and hopefully simpler) method. In short, this new proposed system will have solvers ask for as many hints as they want, but if they do, they'll get a "[Hint(s) Used]" tag next to their name on the solvers' list. I'll need some more feedback behind this decision before I adopt it, so be sure to tell me what you think about this proposal through redhead64@chartermi.net, itsredhead64@gmail.com, or the comment section of this post. Now while I wait for you people to reply with your thoughts, here's a reminder on how to solve this week's puzzle:

Stacked together below are seven Sevens made up of 7 squares each. The answers to each Seven start in their respectively numbered squares and continue along its path surrounded by a bold outline, going right and then down. Meanwhile, the answers to the Rows go straight across the grid, including those with only one or two letters in them.

Once you've filled in the grid, the letters in the colored squares (in the order of the Sevens that they appear in, starting with the Seven marked with a 1) will spell out this week's FINAL ANSWER: The name of a British game show


ROWS
i) Animator Avery who co-created Daffy Duck
ii) Pipsqueak (who's male) from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, for one
iii) Crawdad's habitat
iv) Hedy of Hollywood
v) Yellow flag thrower on a football field
vi) Gained knowledge
vii) One of over 200 works by Bach
viii) The Monster at the End of _____ Book (Sesame Street book)
ix) Kamala Harris, just before becoming VP: Abbr.
x) Medical drama where George Clooney played Dr. Doug Ross
xi) A schwa looks like an upside-down one

SEVENS
1) "You _____ Me" (John Cena's catchphrase): 2 wds.
2) Bomber jacket material
3) Repeated song section
4) Strongly regrets
5) Region with San Mateo and San Francisco: 2 wds.
6) Used RoseArt markers
7) Image applied to a 3D model's surface

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
