PUZZLE #503: Dilly Dally 7

PUZZLE #503
DILLY DALLY 7

Each answer in the grid below consists of two words that both start with the same letter, like ASKING ABOUT. However, each clue's answer only makes up half of the phrase (either the first or second half), while the second half is in a separate list of clues, in random order. It's up to you to match up the answers from both lists to fill in each two-word phrase.

Once the grid has been filled out, hidden inside and going up, down, or diagonally will be the FINAL ANSWER: A television show from the 2000s whose name also consists of two words starting with the same letter.


NUMBERED WORDS
1) Opposite (anagram of SEVERIN)
2) Inviting greeting from a doormat
3) Surface for a game of Scrabble
4) Cloud _____ (service provided by Dropbox and Google Drive)
5) Rock trio whose "Sunshine of Your Love" was covered in Guitar Hero III
6) Red Dawn, Red Sonja, or Turning Red, for one
7) Bison that used to be on the back of a nickel
8) Anti-smoking aid which you stick onto your arm
9) Part of FDIC or FBI
10) Purple flavor of Crush soda
11) The Umbrella _____ (Netflix series starring Elliot Page)
12) It's to the left of the "Z" key on a keyboard

• "Beastly" energy drink brand

• Gottfried who voiced Mr. Mxyzptlk in Superman: The Animated Series
• Gourd that turns into a coach for Cinderella
_____ Invaders (classic alien-shooting arcade game)

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 even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) 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!
