I am pretty sure you are aware that I am not one to take part in the various games here. I just have to say, you have put a lot of effort in putting forth a great game. I have looked at most days and silently playing, not very well I might add. You deserve a great big complement for your hard work.
Today your grid 2 has a misspelling--it is k-u-s-c-h, not k-u-s-h.
Just kidding.

Everybody went on vacation with these two grids. At the rate we're going, nobody will want to touch the last two grids on July 17.
Grid 1:
BUT | CURSE | DEBIT | EAGLE
G-MAN | JAG | LAME | LOUSE
PAT | PHILLY | RAKE | ROCKY
SHARK | SKIN | TICK | VIKE
A ton of sports nicknames up there to throw everybody off the scent of these four categories:
1. JAG | PHILLY | RAKE | SHARK
TV shows about lawyers.
2. EAGLE | G-MAN | ROCKY | TICK
Humorous comic book characters.
3. CURSE | LAME | LOUSE | VIKE
Anagrams of world capitals. Sucre, Male, Seoul, and Kiev.
4. BUT | DEBIT | PAT | SKIN
Anagrams of plumbing fixtures. Tub, bidet, tap, and sink.
Grid 2:
ASHANTI | BATTLE | BUD | BULLSEYE
CHRONIC | DELIVERY | DUEL | GAMBIT
GREED | KUSH | METAL | MONEY
MUSCLE | NATAL | WEED | ZULU
Red herrings in this grid included Michael Caine films and synonyms for marijuana.
1. BULLSEYE | DUEL | GAMBIT | GREED
Game shows. We saw "Gambit" earlier in the QoD in the Shirley MacLaine category. Michael Caine also starred in that same film, as well as a film called "Bullseye".
2. ASHANTI | KUSH | NATAL | ZULU
Former African monarchies. Yes, there was an actual place in Egypt called "Kush". I don't know if that's where the potent type of weed gets its name.
3. BUD | DELIVERY | MONEY | WEED
Milk _____.
4. BATTLE | CHRONIC | METAL | MUSCLE
_____ fatigue.
