The whole desk
Features
An original family of dogs, made for this desk. Not a show you already know. Fifteen seconds on the meter, the guide, the clover, and the chain. Then every part of the house, and what it is for. The walk, with the mission first, is the demo.
The desk
Name a show and get a score before the evening starts.
Someone says “can we watch this?” You answer with a number, not a guess.
The experience
One page. A question, one title to leave, one to put on, and the measure that is thin.
Open it at supper. Add the picture of the house, or the letter, only when you want them.
Living Meter
One arc, 0 to 100, that a house can see across the room.
Drag the evening to the range you will actually allow.
The reviews
The full written measure of every title, not a clipped line.
Read the verdict, the essay, the eight, and the charge before anyone presses play.
Just measured
A moving row of what was just scored.
Glance at what is new without opening a feed.
I'm Feeling Lucky
One evening, picked from the highest recent scores.
You are tired and the house is waiting. Press it.
The Guide
One evening: a song, a picture, a chapter, and one thing for the house.
Do the four in order. Change a part if it does not fit. Then turn the set off.
Family Hub
The people at your table, and the titles that clear every floor.
See what a grandparent and a five-year-old can sit through together.
Pass a story on
A grown person writes why a show is worth keeping. It stays on this device.
Nana tells the girls why a story mattered, and they read it on this same screen.
Tell your story
The children tap a name, a picture, and how it felt.
Annie, Louise, or Kiki tells the house what they liked, in their own words.
Telling
Six ways to tell a story so more than one age can hear it.
Before you press play, choose how the room will hear it.
Narratives
Specific family stories, marked for the table, for sitting together, or for older people.
Pick the shape of the evening: a father who stays, a house that keeps a child, a lie that costs the house.

Calibrate
Age, interests, and the range each measure must meet.

The questions a family asks, by age.
After the story, you already know what to ask a seven-year-old and what to ask a fifteen-year-old.
