Return of Match What Happens Live

     Last week, I posted a puzzle based on parodies of television series titles.  Specifically, by changing one letter in the title.  This week, I have another puzzle based on the same premise, but with a twist.  Instead of changing a letter, I will be adding (+) or deleting (-) a letter, and marking them appropriately. As an additional hint, I will be including a performer from the original series as a hint.  For example, for the clue "Tampa Bay QB shows off his pre-game ritual of having a mid-morning repast with his family (+). Florence Henderson," the plus sign means you add a letter to the Henderson sitcom The Brady Bunch to get the parody title The Brady Brunch. Each of the clues below is based off of a series that has had new episodes within the past year.  As always, the Answers will be at the bottom of the page.  Just keep on scrolling to get there.
