I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME, Puzzle by Patrick Berry
Edited by Will Shortz

I was going to take a picture of my car buried in the snow, but the one above looks about the same…

Redundancy is the tie for the interrelated group of this Sunday crossword:

GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME (22A. Somewhat redundant 1965 country song?)
HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS (30A. Somewhat redundant Milton Bradley game?)
EXTRA EXTRA LARGE (49A. Somewhat redundant size?)
THE WILD WILD WEST (64A. Somewhat redundant 1960s spy series?)
SHORT SHORT STORY (83A. Somewhat redundant literary genre?)
OFF OFF BROADWAY SHOW (100A. Somewhat redundant theater production?)
IT’S A MAD MAD MAD MAD WORLD (112A. Extremely redundant 1963 caper film?)
