Answer:  SEE IT AGAIN

(Great Jumble!  No new clue words today, but most of the jumbles came up as new.  Only the one for “theme” has definitely been used before.  The answer letter layout was only so-so, for me.  But I really liked the flashback cartoon, with the console television, possibly a bottle of Schlitz, and pre-aluminum tin cans with two can opener openings.  One to drink/pour from and the other for ventilation.  And, the guys – from top to bottom – look like:  my Dad, Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks.  How’d Jeff know what my Dad looked like???  Lots of fun!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
