TV shows' cute finale with detective's poems (8)
I believe the answer is:
episodes
'tv shows'' is the definition.
'episodes' can be an answer for 'shows'' (episode is a kind of show). I'm not sure about the 'tv' bit.
'cute finale with detective's poems' is the wordplay.
'finale' indicates one should take the final letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'detective's' becomes 'pis' (private eye).
'poems' becomes 'odes' (ode is a kind of poem).
The last letter of 'cute' is 'e'.
'e'+'pis'+'odes'='EPISODES'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for episodes that I've seen before include "Sections of a serial" , "Instalments" , "Incidents or events as in a story" , "Occurrences in a series" , "So espied in parts of stories" .)
