This is TV from decades before algorithms. It is not worried about holding you every minute. Characters have long conversations. They fret about what to do, what people will think of them. They are not especially interested in their personalities becoming brands. Dosage: 1-2 eps before bedtime.

Here's a tip: You can find all 514 episodes of the 1960s prime-time soap Peyton Place on YouTube (and the 1st 166 eps on Shout! Factory DVDs). Each episode takes about 23 mins. to watch. It is unbelievably soothing and, in its slow, ancient way, completely addictive. >
Win what?
Wow! I do not get many posts about that! Hope you enjoy the revisit. cc: @zackwagman.bsky.social
Wow, that was so long ago. I look back at it now and it's as if someone else wrote it.
As soon as I come up with it!
We all know where we stand on Our Present Horrors but if I never have another social media chat about Dem strategy or purity tests or vote blue no matter who, etc., would I miss it? I think I would not! Anyway, I'll try to do better and not let the dumbest response to a post define my experience.
This is sobering. It makes me want to curtail my own bad habit of letting the scolds, cranks and people who live for the pleasure of screaming at their mostly-allies define my experience here as much as they do. And we need more people posting about fun cultural stuff in the spirit of conversation.>
...and, like clockwork, the "You're doing it wrong" crew has arrived. It's the "Learn to code, bro" team all over again, now with a shiny new toy with which to beat people over the head.

Great Expectations or maybe The Shining.
I am real
"I can help with carpooling" is my new go-to
I agree, but who are we to contradict?
What are you talking about? There's nothing wrong with AI fact-checking!
I think the novel's take on money culture could land very well if handled smartly, and other elements...need rethinking, but I think it can be done.
I kind of love the news that we're getting streaming series of both The Corrections and Bonfire of the Vanities. Both novels present (different) extreme adaptation challenges, but this has been a miserably risk-averse period for streamers, and I'm for anything that fights that.
Pam Bondi right now.
If you've read my Nichols biography and want to see a Mike-as-Miranda moment, I refer to the section about Mike's reaction to an actor who didn't bother to learn his lines during auditions for HBO's adaptation of Angels in America.
In which Meryl Streep confirms that when you are seeing Miranda Priestly, you are seeing her version of her longtime collaborator Mike Nichols (specifically the side of him that Tony used to call "Scary Mike").
Mike knew, and was delighted. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eryb...
