Fuller House

The jokes are cheap. The decision to stay is not.

The review

It is a bright, noisy show about a sad fact: a father is gone, and the women who loved him decide the children will not grow up in a rented feeling. That decision is the standard. The writing is not. The jokes hug too hard and explain themselves, and a house this full of people does not need a rimshot to prove it is a house.

Watch it with children if the noise does not wear you out. Then turn it off and do the thing the show keeps announcing: stay in the room, learn the children's names for their games, and do not outsource the evening to the next episode.

Journal

Keep Fuller House in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 29. Yours can differ.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth are the thin ones.

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

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

Cars on the Road

41 instead of 29

Cars on the Road is still a comedy show, and it scores 41 instead of 29. What you gain is temperance: Modest.

The eight

2
Industry
They have jobs. The laugh track would rather you noticed the bit.
5
Household
A widowed house, sisters of the heart, and children who still have a table.
1
Piety
Grace is not said. Loyalty is practiced, which is the part you can see.
2
Courage
They stay when splitting up would have been simpler and quieter.
3
Republic
A block, a school, and neighbors still walk through the door.
3
Temperance
The appetite is a punchline, not a ruin. The laugh is doing too much work.
2
Truth
A sitcom lies for the joke. The duty underneath the joke is plain.
5
Stewardship
The house itself is the inheritance, and they refuse to sell it for a mood.

The Great British Baking Show

A craft, a deadline, and a tent where kindness is not a joke. Worth the evening.

The review

Most contests teach you to enjoy someone else's mistake. This one teaches you to watch a person try. The handshake matters more than the trophy, and the technical challenge is a small sermon on the only kind of honesty a kitchen allows: the thing you made is the thing you meant, or it isn't.

It will not save a soul. It will not lie to you about what patience looks like. Watch an episode and then bake, or mend, or do any job whose result can be set on a table and judged by people who love you. That is the use of it.
