The Joy of Painting

60Watch it awake.

Making, without irony. The calm is not an accident.

The review

Ross is not a children's host and not a drama. He is a man doing one thing well and refusing to humiliate the viewer for being new. A house that has been living on commentary can put this on and remember what a finished thing feels like. Paint with it or cook with it. Do not fold laundry and call that the same, though the laundry is also fine.

Journal

Keep The Joy of Painting in the record.

Live Historic number 60. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Courage and Republic are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

The Chosen

73 instead of 60

The Chosen is still a series show, and it scores 73 instead of 60. What you gain is piety: The subject is worship, and the show is not embarrassed.

The eight

9
Industry
A craft, shown from the first stroke to the last, in real time.
4
Household
No household on screen. The voice is paternal anyway.
4
Piety
Gratitude is the tone. He treats the world as given.
4
Courage
The bravery is the mark on a blank canvas, which he refuses to dramatize.
3
Republic
A studio. The public good is the invitation to try.
9
Temperance
No appetite. No rush you can fail.
8
Truth
He says mistakes are just trees. He means the paint, and he is right.
7
Stewardship
A skill handed to strangers, free, on purpose.

Pass it on

Leave It to Beaver

60Watch it awake.

Gentle to a fault. The fault is not the family. The fault is pretending no trouble is large.

The review

Beaver tells the truth by the end of the episode, and his father does not humiliate him for the delay. That structure is sound. The world around it has been cleaned until a child might think every problem is a broken window. Use it for the structure. Supply the larger world yourself, later, without sneering at the house that could confess a small thing.

The glance

Piety and Courage are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

The eight

6
Industry
Ward works. The boys have chores and school. June runs the house as a post.
8
Household
A mother and a father, present, on the same side.
4
Piety
Decency is assumed. God is barely required because the world is already orderly.
4
Courage
The courage is confessing. That is the right size for the age.
5
Republic
A neighborhood of families. Thin, and still a neighborhood.
8
Temperance
Nothing in it is an appetite.
6
Truth
The lessons are plain. They are also sometimes too easy.
7
Stewardship
Made for a child to grow past, not to be harmed by.
